Improving the water utilization efficiency (WUE) is the key to solve the problem of water resources shortage. Based on the super-efficiency data envelopment analysis(DEA) model and Malmquist index method, we selected the industrial water consumption, the number of industrial employees and the net value of industrial fixed assets as input indicators, and the industrial total output value and waste water discharge as output indicators to analyze the industrial WUE in Ningxia region from 2006 to 2016 from dynamic and static perspectives. The results showed that the industrial WUE of Ningxia region was good in general, and the technical efficiency was the main factor reducing the industrial WUE of the region. Yinchuan and Shizuishan had reasonable water consumption and rapid growth of total factor productivity in the past five years. Wuzhong and Zhongwei had serious labor redundancy problems, and Guyuan was the most underdeveloped city in technology and scale. This research provides scientific basis for industrial production and resource allocation in Ningxia.
