Spatiotemporal Differences in Relative Efficiency of Regional Industrial Water Utilization in Xinjiang

Article Preview

Abstract:

DEA was used to estimate the relative efficiency of industrial water in Xinjiang. Using data from 2005 to 2010 for fifteen prefectures in Xinjiang, this research selected productive water usage, employed persons, land area and fixed asset investment as the inputs, and chose gross regional product as the output. The scale redundancy ratio and technical redundancy ratio were also calculated. On the basis, the water utilization relative efficiency was calculated for every prefecture and the spatial-temporal variation of regional industrial water distribution were discussed. The spatial analyses show that the relative efficiency of industrial water utilization is distinctly different among the fifteen prefectures. Agriculture-oriented areas have relatively low water use efficiency, mainly due to the large proportion of agricultural water and seriously wasted water. Every prefecture should adjust the industrial structure and strengthen the agricultural water's conservation according to local condition.
