Abstract

Agricultural water consumption security is crucial for maintaining food production stability. Aiming to investigate water consumption efficiency and objectives in agricultural and non-agricultural sectors, we adopted a Budyko-analogous framework to establish an optimal water allocation model based on the maximum water utilization benefits principle. The proposed Budyko framework was verified through its application in Anhui Province, China, and the difference in water utilization efficiencies among different regions was discussed. The research findings can be concluded as follows: (1) during 2011–2020, the provincial agricultural productive loss caused by per-unit water shortage was lower compared to non-agricultural sectors, and this trend was adaptive in the south but totally opposite in the north; (2) the guaranteed level of agricultural water consumption was higher compared to non-agricultural sectors in the north due to the predominance of agricultural production but totally contrary in the south. Overall, the above findings are consistent with the actual industrial structure of Anhui Province. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
