Description

China faces the need to expand its food supply in order to meet the rising food demand of its growing population. The Yellow River basin, one of the important regions in China for agriculture production, has been able to increase its production thanks to by improvements in productivity. Environmental issues, water shortages in particular, have become more serious, however, and excessive agricultural water use may worsen the situation. Therefore, the effective use of water resources is essential to avoid this water shortage. This study examined estimation technique of the efficiency of agricultural water use in the Yellow River basin by using statistical data, land use data, and hydrological model. Results from this study indicate that water use efficiency in upstream region is low, especially worsen in the large irrigation districts.
