Abstract: Regarding the background of the “urban–rural dual structure”, the scientific evaluation of the relationship between urban and rural water resource systems is of great significance for alleviating water use contradictions and optimizing water resource allocation. Based on the theory of water poverty, the coupling coordination model was used to quantify the relationship between the urban and rural water resource systems in northwest China from 2000 to 2020; furthermore, the spatial and temporal evolution characteristics and driving mechanism were studied by using spatial autocorrelation, a hot spot analysis and the Tobit model. The result showed the following: ① The scores of urban and rural water poverty have risen significantly, and the urban and rural water resource systems have improved significantly. Among them, urban water poverty demonstrated a tiered pattern of “east–middle–west”, and rural water poverty demonstrated a pattern of collapse of “high on both sides and low in the middle”. ② The overall degree of coupling coordination between urban and rural water poverty has greatly improved. However, nearly 70% of the regions are still of the basic uncoordinated type, and the differences between regions have been gradually expanding, showing a state of agglomeration in space, mainly of the low–high and high–high agglomeration types. The hot spot area was mainly concentrated in the southeast area, showing a gradual expansion trend, and the cold spot area was mainly concentrated in the central area, showing a gradual shrinking trend. ③ The level of economic development, industrial structure and agricultural production demonstrated a positive impact on the degree of coupling coordination. The degree of industrialization, the level of opening, technological progress, population size, expenditure on supporting agriculture and environmental regulation had different effects on the degree of regional coupling coordination. Different strategies should be adopted to promote the coupled and coordinated development of urban and rural water resource systems.
