| Abstract: |
| 【Background】China is a large agricultural country and the agricultural sector is still the largest water use sector. Water conservation in the agricultural sector has become an important way to alleviate China's water poverty problem. And water saving is one of the key factors that determine the sustainable development of agriculture in arid areas. However, the improvement and universal implementation of agricultural water saving technology may lead to the phenomenon that the actual water saving may not reach the expected water saving, i.e., the "agricultural irrigation water rebound". That is, water-saving irrigation policies failed to achieve the expected water-saving goals. 【Objective】The study explores the factors affecting the rebound of agricultural irrigation water, which will contribute to water conservation and optimization of water resources management, and maintain the sustainable use of water resources. At the same time, this is of great significance for the implementation of water-saving policies and the realization of regional agricultural sustainable development. 【Method】Based on this, the paper constructs a non-substitutional agricultural production function of irrigation water use and other factors (including not only the means of production other than water resources, but also agricultural production technology and agricultural labor input), focusing on the influencing factors of agricultural irrigation water rebound through theoretical derivation. And then this paper builds benchmark models (pooled regression model, fixed effects model and random effects model) and binary choice models (Logit models and Probit models), using the city-level panel data of five northwestern provinces, to verify the influencing factors of agricultural irrigation water rebound. 【Result】First, the paper found crop yield and irrigation water productivity are two factors affecting agricultural irrigation water rebound through theoretical model derivation. And the increase in crop yield has a positive effect on the rebound of agricultural irrigation water, and irrigation water productivity has a reverse effect on the rebound of agricultural irrigation water. Second, about 65% of the cities in Northwest China have agricultural irrigation water rebound, which means there is a general rebound of agricultural irrigation water in the Northwest China. Third, in the benchmark model, the agricultural irrigation water rebound will increase by 0.094 3% - 0.611 3% for every 1% increase of crop yield; under the same other conditions, the rebound of agricultural irrigation water will decrease by 0.927 3% - 0.990 1% when irrigation water productivity increases by 1%. The influence direction of binary choice model is consistent with that of benchmark model, indicating that the results of the study are robust. 【Conclusion】The agricultural irrigation water rebound is that the increase in crop yields caused by changes in agricultural production factors has led to an increase in demand for water resources, which partially offset the expected water savings that can be achieved by water-saving technologies. Water-saving policies should adhere to the popularization of water-saving technologies to improve irrigation water productivity, but also pay attention to the new water demand and scientifically guide agricultural production behavior. First of all, farmers' water use behavior needs to be guided. In addition, attention should be paid to the increase in agricultural water consumption caused by the expansion of irrigation area. |
