对缺水的关切使人们集中注意灌溉，这是全世界最大的用水部门，人们普遍认为这是一种低价值、浪费和“低效”的用水方式。然而，这场辩论的术语定义很差-往往甚至无法区分消费性和非消费性用途。因此，技术干预并不总是产生预期的理想结果，许多报告和文件中的建议充其量是可疑的，最坏的情况是完全错误的。“灌溉效率”的分析的历史被追溯，并与水文科学，它提供了一致的术语，从领域通过灌溉计划的区域和流域的各种规模的分析相比。在以前各位作者的工作基础上，提出了一个分析框架和相关术语，以更好地满足所有用水部门的技术专家、决策者和规划者的需要，实现更有效的用水，并追踪干预措施对其他用途和用户的影响。排灌委员会建议在分析所有规模的水资源管理时使用这一术语，并作为其研究论文和其他出版物的基础。版权所有（c）2007约翰威利父子有限公司。
Concerns about scarcity of water have focused attention on irrigation, the largest water-using sector worldwide, which is widely seen as a low-value, wasteful and "inefficient" use for water. The terminology for this debate is, however, poorly defined - often failing even to distinguish between consumptive and non-consumptive uses. In consequence, technical interventions have not always led to the expected, desirable outcomes, and the recommendations in many reports and papers are at best dubious, at worst simply wrong. The history of the analysis of "irrigation efficiency" is traced, and compared with the science of hydrology, which offers consistent terminology for various scales of analysis from field through irrigation scheme to region and basin. Based on the work of various previous writers, an analytical framework and associated terms are proposed to better serve the needs of technical specialists from all water-using sectors, policymakers and planners in achieving more productive use of water and tracing the implications of interventions on other uses and users. ICID recommends that this terminology be used in the analysis of water resources management at all scales, and form the basis for its research papers and other published outputs.
