Through two years lysimeter experiments, the variation of leaf area index, water consumption and grain yield of winter wheat under different soil water deficits were analyzed. The results showed that the regular nutritional growth of winter wheat was inhibited by severe water deficit, its grain yield and water consumption were also decreased. The reduced tiller number of winter wheat was the main reason for LAI values decreased rapidly after reaching its maxima at the end of the jointing stage. The maximum yield reduction rate and water consumption amplitude of winter wheat were 50.02% and 44.44% in 2012-2013, 50.14% and 26.52% in 2013-2014, respectively. In order to achieve high yield and high WUE, priority should be avoided is continuous drought, and the recommended low limits of soil moisture index was 45%FC (field capacity), 55%FC, 70%FC and 65%FC at seedling stage, jointing stage, heading stage and filling stage, respectively.
