The water footprint (WF) links the consumption of physical water with virtual water and can truly reflect the spatial differences of water use. In this paper, we used the bottom-up method to calculate the WF and the WF per capita at the city and district/county levels from 2000 to 2014 in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Besides, the temporal and spatial variation characteristics of the WF were analyzed. The results showed that: (1) at the city level, the WF and WF per capita in Beijing were the highest, followed by Tianjin. The WF and WF per capita in Shijiazhuang were relatively high, while they were relatively low in Hengshui. The average WF of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region at the city level increased from 3.588 billion m³ in 2000 to 5.082 billion m³ in 2014, with the largest increase in Tianjin and Beijing. (2) At the district/county level, the WF and WF per capita of Beijing's six core districts were the highest, followed by Beijing's other districts, Tianjin's six core districts, and the Binhai New District. Besides, the WF and WF per capita of the core districts of Shijiazhuang were relatively high. The WF and WF per capita of the counties located in the Yanshan Mountains in the north and Taihang Mountains in the west, and Hengshui were the lowest. The average WF of the counties/districts in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region increased from 230 million m³ in 2000 to 316 million m³ in 2014. The municipal districts of Beijing had the fastest growth in WF, followed by Tianjin. (3) The composition proportion of the WF in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region from high to low was virtual water consumption, domestic water consumption, and ecological water consumption. The consumption of virtual water accounted for about 90% of the WF. The proportion of ecological water consumption and WF in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region has generally increased, and its proportion in Beijing was higher than that of Tianjin or Hebei. The WF of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region was calculated and the characteristics of its spatial and temporal variations were analyzed in this paper, which aimed to provide a reference and basis for studying the coercive effects of urbanization on water resources in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
