Abstract: To alleviate agricultural water shortage and pollution and ensure food security, this paper use the SBM-Undesirable model to estimate the agricultural water use efficiency for China’s 31 provinces from 2011 to 2014. Some conclusions are as follows:During research period, the agricultural water use efficiency in China is rising,but still has a large space to improve.The trend of efficiency of different provinces is various and Xinjiang,Jiangsu and Guangdong have great water-saving potential.Then we cluster 25 provinces which are not achieving the effective frontier into four categories by clustering analysis. Respectively,the optimization strategy of agricultural water are put forward.

Key words: undesirable outputs, agricultural water use efficiency, water-saving potential, SBM-Undesirable model, cluster analysis
