For a long time, our government always adopts the tactics of supply management on solving the problem of the water shortage. Its countermeasures mainly rely oh engineering technology, for instance developing groundwater, south-to-north water diversion, etc. According to situation of the area of our country shortage of water at present, such technological tactics have already received the restriction of the reserve of water resources. People have to turn sight to the management of demand. From the views of demand, it's every economic subject excessive quote and waste a large amount of water that result in the water shortage, at present. So solving water shortage another train of thought is properly restrict. Its core is that the water-saving incentive mechanism and the restriction mechanism of the water resources are formed by a kind of appropriate institutional arrangements. The market mechanism is introduced to the course of the water resources allocation by tradable system of water rights. Utilizing the strength on the market forming the water-saving incentive mechanism and restriction mechanism of water resources is a very good system choice to resolve the problem. The research purpose of this text theoretically make clear the essential structure and operation principle of water market, put forward perfect water rights organization, tradeable system, laws and regulations system, information system, supervisory system and adjusting and control the system of market. Give the management frame of water market on the function of rational allocation of agricultural water resources; have proposed quite new thought on the distribution of agricultural water rights. Using water market in the allocation of river, reservoir, and groundwater it offer guide for realizing agricultural water resources utilization. The full text is divided into the following five major parts altogether:(1) Adjustment of the train of thought of water resources management and the crisis of water resources. Currently the profound reason cause the water shortage is the right structural defect of system at present. Because the property right of water resources (namely water rights) is unclear, the economic subjects regard the water resources as the public resources taken freely. Therefore the water resources is quoted and wasted excessively. So if the current water rights system won't be basic reformed in our country. Only improving consciousness of saving water and expanding limited water resources supply is impossible to solve the problem of water resources utilization inefficiency at present. For this reason, firstly we should change train of thought of water resources management, transfer demand management to supply management of water resources, change from the resources into the assets management. About the issue of function of "south-to-North water diversion", thistext think South-to-North water diversion can't solve the problem of northern water shortage fundamentally. If water rights trade is allowed existence, water transferred to the north can only become "the spare tyre". In allusion to the "externality" and "public resources" problem of water resources allocation, the thesis propose adopting the train of thought of the market mechanism to solves it.(2) Water rights and water rights system. On the basis of the defect of current water resources management in our country and the success of water rights system in foreign counties, we introduce the water rights management system in terms of property right economics. Define the intension of bunch right (water rights), point out the usufruct is the subject of water rights and the main target of water rights trade too. At the same time the water system, such as riparian ownership, prior right-, public water right, is analyzed and compared and has proposed the suitability Trading Water rights in our country. This is the main topic in the whole thesis. Under the water rights system of competitiveness, the condition, area and vocation of water resources are different. Aiming at diffe...
