Maximizing water productivity is important as savings in water inputs would reduce the costs of pumping irrigation, increase annually sown rice area, allows to allocate water to irrigate other crops in a rotation and contribute to reduce the impact of farming systems on Water Footprint (Chapagain & Hoekstra, 2011) and to reduce environmental impact based upon Life Cycle Assessment, energy and water analyses (Thanawong et al. , 2014). The aim of this experiment is to determine irrigation management practices and syematization field layout techniques that increase water productivity (WP), contemplating the economic and environmental sustainability of rice farming systems in Uruguay.  aAGUA  aARROZ  aRIEGO  aURUGUAY  aRICE  aWATER PRODUCTIVITY1 aMARCHESI, C.1 aLAVECCHIA, A.
