“…Thirdly, the main conclusion or the main purpose contributed to some improvement in methodology. Various studies have focused on how to calculate and improve WUE (Table 1) [18][19][20]. However, this research only concentrates on how to increase water use-related efficiency [21,22].…”

Three-Stage Data Envelopment Analysis of Agricultural Water Use Efficiency: A Case Study of the Heihe River Basin

Abstract:Aiming to inspect the water use-related situation in the Heihe River Basin, we used a three-stage data envelopment analysis to examine agricultural water use efficiency (WUE) and related issues in the Heihe River Basin from 2004 to 2012. This method calculates technical efficiency (TE), pure technical efficiency (PTE), and scale efficiency (SE). Results show that water use-related efficiency varies according to scale. TE and SE decreased in the study area, while PTE increased. This means that the effects of pure technology on improving overall technology are very limited, and scale adjustment is vitally important to the agricultural production area in the Heihe River Basin. The results provide recommendations for decision-makers to plan the efficient use of water resources in arid and semiarid areas; in addition, this method will contribute to calculations of water use-related efficiency.

Artificial grasslands are effective solutions to problems with grassland degradation. Water scarcity is an important limitation for grassland production in arid regions. In this study, we carried out comparison experiments to assess the impacts of irrigation schemes on forage yield, water use efficiency, and nutrients in the single and mixed sowing ways of Medicago sativa L. and Agropyron cristatum in different stages in artificial grassland. Results indicated that deficit irrigation can increase forage yields of M. sativa and A. cristatum in most growth stages and sowing treatments. Heavy deficit irrigation or even no irrigation had the greatest potential to increase forage yields of both species in the squaring stage and instantaneous water-use efficiency (WUEI) in all growth stages. They can also significantly increase the nutritional level of M. sativa using a mixed sowing method. In June and September, only irrigating to near field capacity (T1) can increase the long-term water-use efficiency (WUEL) of both species. We suggest irrigating with water to near field capacity in June, and applying deficit irrigation in July and August. Deficit irrigation is an effective water management technique to both save water and increase forage quality in arid areas.

“…Taheripour et al (2016) point out that there are two ways to increase water use efficiency in irrigation: reduction of water loss in delivery, and improvements in water use by plants [8]. Studies on delivery improvement have covered a variety of topics such as process chains [9]; irrigation method [10][11][12]; manure and cropping frequency [13]; irrigation regimes [14,15]; cropping management [16]; and furrow and plant spacing [17,18]. On the other hand, Amanullah (2015) propose that crop competition affect water use efficiency markedly based on prospect of water use by plants [19].…”

Water resources play a vital role in human life and agriculture irrigation, especially for agriculture-dominant developing countries and regions. Improving agricultural water use efficiency has consequently become a key strategic choice. This study, based on Zhangye City's economic characteristics and data, applies a static Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model with a constant elasticity of substitution (CES) composited water−land resources account to assess the impact of improving agricultural water use efficiency on economy, water conservation and land reallocation. Results reveal that: Zhangye City's GDP increases by 0.10% owing to an increasing average technical level by improving agricultural water use efficiency; total water consumption decreases by 122 million m 3 , 69% of which comes from a reduction of surface water use; and land demand increases by 257.43 hectares mainly due to agricultural land demands. With respect to the sectors' output, export-oriented sectors with higher water intensities in the agricultural sectors benefit most. In contrast, land-intensive sectors contract the most, as the rental price of land rises. Therefore, agricultural water conservation technology should be introduced considering more in surface water. Furthermore, higher demand for agricultural land would reduce land availability for other sectors, thus inhibiting urbanization pace on a small scale.
