The spatial variability of water requirement of late hybrid rice Yongyou 17 in Zhejiang Province was studied by geostatistics and GIS in this study. The results showed that the water requirement of Yongyou 17 was 22.40～82.79 mm in different growth stages, and the variation coefficient of water requirement at mature harvest stage wasthe largest, and that at jointing and booting stage was the smallest. The C₀/（C₀+C） value of water requirement in different growth stages of hybrid late rice Yongyou 17 ranged from 0.20 to 0.50. The value of C₀/（C₀+C） of water requirement at tillering stage was the least, which was 0.2, and the value of C₀/（C₀+C） in sowing and seedling stage was the highest, which was 0.5. The range of water requirement in different growth stages ranged from 84 600 m to 2 229 900 m. the water requirement at jointing and booting stage was the smallest, and that of sowing and seedling stage was the largest. The high value area of rice water requirement greater than 323.50 mm is located in the southwest, central and northern parts of Zhejiang Province, accounting for 31.29% of the total area of the study area. The water requirement of rice in most areas is 270.83～323.49 mm, accounting for 66.43% of the total area of the study area.
