The potentials of development and utilization for water resources in the Changma, Shuangta and Huahai irrigation areas of the Shulehe River Basin were evaluated by using fuzzy synthetic judgment method and analytic hierarchy process. The results show that there are different potentials in the 3 irrigation areas. The development and utilization of the water resources in the Changma irrigation area is situated in the advanced stage, while the Shuangta and Huahai irrigation areas are in the intermediate stage. The exploitation potential in the Huahai irrigation area is the most and the Changma is the least. Further development in the Changma irrigation area should focus on the depth exploitation and strengthen the water resources integrated management, while width exploitation and water consumption in water resources should be gradually shifted to depth exploitation and water saving in the Shuangta and Huahai irrigation areas.
