Starting from fully excavating the potential of various agricultural water resources in the Huang Huai Hai Region, the achievement, experience and existing problems about agricultural water saving were summarized. It was proposed that by implementing semi dryland farming, developing simultaneously irrigated lands and dry lands on the basis of full utilization of local natural rainfall, and saving the large amount of irrigation water is an important approach for resolving serious water resources shortage and meanwhile for achieving sustainable growth of agricultural production in this region. Dryland farming, irrigated farming and semi dryland farming will exist at the same time as the new structure of agricultural water use in this region. By implementing these measures, field irrigation water consumption in this region is expected to reduce more than 30 % in around 2020 and take the lead in realizing the modernization of agricultural water system.
