Cropland water–land balance relationship can be regulated to maintain the cropland productivity, ecological stability, and sustainable land use. It is often required to optimize cropland spatial layout and crop planting structure in sustainable water and land resources, according to “Determining Land Use by Water Availability”. In this study, an integrated analytical framework was developed to explore the spatiotemporal characteristics of the balance between water and cultivated land resources. There was also a close relationship between crop water requirement, water deficit and surplus, drought events, and productivity loss. The research area was taken as the five major agricultural regions in northern China. Meteorological, crop planting structure, and gross primary productivity (GPP) were monthly collected from 2001 to 2022. The full-growing-season crop water requirements of winter wheat, spring maize, and summer maize were estimated using the FAO-56 crop coefficient. A decadal Crop Water Deficit and Surplus Index (CWDI) and its standardized form, the Standardized Crop Water Deficit and Surplus Index (SCWDI), were then constructed to integrate run theory. Empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis, correlation analysis, and a Copula–Bayesian conditional probability model were used to systematically identify the Spatiotemporal evolution of cropland water–land balance relationships, crop critical water-demand periods, and productivity loss risks under drought stress. The results showed that (1) multi-year mean full-growing-season water requirements of winter wheat and maize were 500 and 594 mm, respectively, particularly with 627 and 536 mm for spring and summer maize, respectively. Crop water requirements shared significant regional differences. In winter wheat, the water requirement followed the descending order of Huang–Huai–Hai Plain (521 mm) > Loess Plateau (514 mm) > Gansu–Xinjiang Region (467 mm), while spring maize shared the highest water requirement in the Gansu–Xinjiang Region (662 mm). (2) Average drought-event frequency ranged from 0.4 to 2.0 events per year. The Gansu–Xinjiang Region was characterized by a high proportion of extreme drought events, long duration, and high intensity, indicating a cumulative drought pattern, whereas the Huang–Huai–Hai Plain was dominated by high-frequency but short-duration drought events. (3) EOF decomposition showed that the first five modes cumulatively explained 73.7% of the total variance, with EOF1 and EOF2 accounting for 28.6% and 20.0%, respectively, indicating region-wide consistency and regional heterogeneity in interannual dry–wet variations of cropland. (4) Correlation analysis between SCWDI and standardized GPP (SGPP) showed that the key months were identified as July for spring and summer maize, while May for winter wheat. According to the cumulative effect, the water-demand stages of spring maize, summer maize, and winter wheat corresponded to May–June, June, and March–April, respectively. (5) SCWDI–SGPP dependence structures of spring maize and summer maize were best fitted by the Gaussian Copula, while the Frank Copula performed best for winter wheat. The average probabilities of productivity loss were 63%, 80%, and 44%, respectively, for spring maize, summer maize, and winter wheat under extreme drought conditions. The north-central Huang–Huai–Hai Plain and the Loess Plateau were identified as the drought stress conversion into productivity loss. The finding can provide a scientific basis for the optimal cropland layout and crop structure during drought risk prevention in northern China.
