This paper reviews the potential impact of climatic change on agricultural water security based on an analysis of the changes in agricultural water consumption and agriculture water use efficiency during the past years.Then it is pointed out that the low efficiency and high proportion of agricultural consumption are the main causes of water crisis in China,and this will challenge agricultural water security.Finally,demand control and quota management strategy are proposed as the main way for water demand management to balance the supply and demand.
