Abstract: The total water consumption, fixed assets investment, employment figure, amount of discharged wastewater and GDP output of three provinces and one city in the Yangtze River Delta from 2002 to 2017 were choosed to construct the DEA-Malmquist index model. The green water efficiency of the provinces was analysed,combining with environmental factors. The result showed that year 2010 and year 2015 were two obvious turning points of green water efficiency in three provinces and one city, which showed the significance of water conservation and water pollution governance policy implementation; During the study period, TFP total factor index was greater than 1, but technical efficiency showed a regressive trend, especially in Anhui Province. Therefore, the provinces should pay attention to optimizing industrial structure while implementing water-saving policies, ensuring technological progress and expanding industrial scale.

Key words: green water efficiency, DEA and Malmquist index, economies of scale, environmental protection, Yangtze river delta region
