Abstract: Wetlands in irrigated agricultural areas have great environmental benefits as
agricultural pollution sinks; but agricultural development and water resources redistribution have
caused these wetlands to diminish rapidly worldwide. This is the case in the YinNan Irrigation
District (YNID) in the upper reaches of the Yellow River in China, where wetlands once flourished
as the result of large amount of irrigation diversion and low irrigation efficiency. In this paper, we
presented an analytical study on the impact of irrigation water saving practices on wetland
distribution in YNID; we also discussed the effect of considering wetland water consumption as
beneficial or efficient use on the overall water use efficiency. The study area has a maximal
