Abstract: How to judge the water environment effect of industrial transfer in the context of industrial development is the urgent need to realize high-quality development and build a beautiful China in the new development pattern. Using the data of 31 provincial-level regions in China from 2016 to 2022, we apply the dynamic deviation-share method to measure the scale and trend of industrial transfer, and adopt the industrial gray water footprint to calculate the amount of industrial water pollution, and use the Spatial Durbin Model to analyze the ''pollution paradise'' or ''pollution halo'' effect of the water environment of the current industrial transfer. The Spatial Durbin Model is used to analyze the ''pollution paradise'' or ''pollution halo'' effect of the current industrial transfer. The following conclusions are drawn: The industrial transfer shows the compound water environment effect of ''pollution paradise'' and ''pollution halo''. The water pollution in the receiving place shows the effect of ''pollution paradise'' due to the deepening of industrial transfer. Industrial transfer reduces the total amount of industrial water pollution in China, but this ''pollution halo'' effect has not been fully confirmed. The water environment effect of industrial transfer varies according to the type of industry and region. The results show that there is a ''pollution paradise'' crisis and a ''pollution halo'' transformation opportunity for industrial transfer in the new development pattern. Therefore, China should seize the time window of industrial transfer and promote industrial upgrading to better adapt to the water resource constraints and environmental protection needs in the new development pattern.
