Water efficiency of canal system is an important index to measure water conveyance efficiency of irrigation district canal system, and its accurate calculation is of a positive significance for evaluating canal system condition and management level of irrigation district. The control range of Renmin branch canal in Hetao irrigation district of Inner Mongolia was taken as the research area, and water efficiency of canal system in the research area was calculated through surveying the distribution of canal system using the calculation software of water efficiency of canal system based on the canal seepage empirical formula in this paper. According to possible lining condition, canal flow and groundwater depth, different scenarios were set up to calculate water efficiency of canal system. The results show that, (1) water efficiency of canal system in this area is 0.728 in present situation; (2) if all canals do not take seepage control with cement concrete lining, water efficiency of canal system is only 0.567; (3) if all canals take seepage control with cement concrete lining, water efficiency of canal system can be as high as 0.934. The analysis shows that, (1) if canals take partially seepage control with cement concrete lining, the upstream position is preferred and water efficiency of canal system can be improved; (2) if lining conditions are the same, water efficiency of canal system is higher when canal flow is larger or groundwater level is higher. Above results are of practical significance for selecting the lining scheme and for operation management of canals.
