Caused by climate change, natural disasters has increasingly impacted the development of our national economy and an indispensable element of social life. "A line of floods and a range of droughts." According to statistics nearly 20 years, average annual economic losses of flood disaster in China more than 100 billion yuan, accounting for about 1% of GDP, a 3% deaths each year thousands of people, flooding the average crop area of about 26,000 hectares affected, the average annual drinking water population of about 2900 people, the threat of flood and drought in southwest China in 2010 was a serious drought, and water resources in southwest China and the country is quite rich. Relatively rich in water resources in the southwest regions, what are the reasons for severe drought? Deeper factors, in addition to climate change, stresses water resources, uneven temporal and spatial distribution, the impact of people's economic activities, the result of unclear property rights resulting from the construction of water conservancy facilities which is seriously lagging behind agriculture (in particular the absence of main supply), low water resources development, severe water shortage which is caused by construction of a regional drought of important reasons. Southwest drought and other national drought lead us to further recognize the need for investment in agricultural water conservancy facilities and urgency. Water has always been the lifeblood of agriculture; because of the flood drought, irrigation, protection of food production, harvest and safety improve the competitiveness of agriculture which is of strategic significance.So far, the agricultural water conservancy facilities and research can be described as voluminous, which has been acquired from the existing literature point of view, the arrangements of property rights on agricultural water conservancy facilities studies have focused on small-scale agriculture (field) in current situation of water conservancy facilities and existing property rights system issues, innovation and efficiency of the system of property rights research has been involved, but the analysis of efficiency is only limited to the traditional input-output, with the relative lack of benefits from the system in terms of cost and system efficiency of the system; on agriculture and irrigation facilities, institutional mechanisms for financing research, the author is currently combing the literature from the point of view, mainly focused on the following aspects: First, infrastructure investment and financing mechanisms for agriculture and irrigation research; Second, agricultural research management system of water conservancy facilities; three irrigation facilities for agriculture operation mechanism. Theoretical results of these scholars will undoubtedly become the theory of investment and financing of agricultural water conservancy facilities, management theory and practice of the theoretical basis for further development, but existing research point of view, a clear benefit from the perspective of agriculture and irrigation facilities, the issue of financing is also relatively scarce. In particular, the arrangements are consistent with the property investment and financing mechanism literature search by the author have not yet discovered.The study will be based on studies which have been conducted. Agriculture is the foundation of national economy; agriculture is conducive to the world steadiness. Water is the first national infrastructure and basic industry, the lifeblood of agriculture. The growing emergence of severe drought conditions have forced us to come back to re-examine the performance of agriculture and water conservancy construction. From a practical and long-term, if the system can not solve the underlying factors of water, not in the country, especially in dry regions to establish an effective resource allocation, thereby forming a water-saving model of economic development, it is hard to solve the current water shortages, Yin Han and disaster will continue to worsen and expand. Therefore, this article based on Professor Alan Smith's "Situation-Structure-Performance" the SSP paradigm, attempts to explore the impact of agriculture and irrigation facilities in the derived factors of performance differences, and to invoke Economic theory related to analysis and demonstration, agriculture and irrigation facilities in order to reveal the root causes of performance differences in their own different characteristics; namely, the state of agricultural water facilities in different agricultural irrigation facilities determines the choice of different systems in order for our agriculture and irrigation facilities provide a workable analytical framework and theoretical basis. This article is divided into 7 chapters. Chapter 1 is Introduction. Chapter 2 is literature review and theoretical basis. Research on a simple review of the literature, focusing on agriculture and irrigation facilities, property arrangements, research and agricultural investment and financing mechanism for water research results have been a brief and carding, while the need for the article on property rights theory, public goods theory, institutional change theory and the theory of investment and financing and other related theoretical basis of a brief introduction. Chapter 3 on the basis of the previous chapter, carries out an analysis of building water conservancy facilities in Agricultural Investment and Financing Mechanism of property rights arrangements and theoretical framework; that is, "SSP" analytical paradigm as the basis to establish a "goods characteristics--the right of the main structure--Choose a specific property--performance analysis "of the framework. Chapter 4 analyzes the financing of agricultural water conservancy facilities and rights of the principal structure of division, from a historical perspective of the investment in the agricultural water conservancy facilities, the right to change the intergovernmental, governmental fiscal system changes and changes in financial resources, changes in inter-governmental powers and the evolution process of investment and financing mechanisms. Chapter 5 on property type and analysis discusses the property rights of agricultural irrigation facilities selection principle, and on this basis, build water conservancy facilities, agricultural property rights model. In Chapter 6 from the micro level investment in irrigation facilities in agriculture the economic performance of an empirical study on the performance of agricultural inputs of water conservancy facilities were affirmed, and the water conservancy facilities in Agricultural Systems in the cost from the system, the system proceeds to the system of opportunism performance is analyzed. Chapter 7 as a brief conclusion--that of this research were summarized at first,studies property rights from the agriculture and irrigation facilities, the possibility of innovative analysis of the induction factors and start to build water conservancy facilities, agricultural innovation index system of property rights, and made arrangements with the property investment and innovative financing mechanisms consistent. on agriculture and irrigation facilities, investment and financing mechanism of property rights arrangements and policy recommendations. Based on the above study, several important conclusions are obtained in this paper and some policy implications. Main conclusions are:(1) agriculture and irrigation facilities have special properties. The first is its natural properties, agriculture and irrigation facilities have separate items can not be accurately measured, that has integrity, indivisibility; the second is the externality of water conservancy facilities; the third is a public good characteristics. (2) property rights reform and innovation, agriculture and irrigation facilities for all types of clear ownership of the property rights is conducive to a clear relationship among responsibility, rights and interests is conducive to broadening the investment and financing channels, but does not necessarily bring performance, can not be completely Agricultural irrigation facilities to solve the situation of insufficient supply. As agricultural irrigation facilities is a common-pool resources, with exclusive insurance can be a competitive advantage and, even in a closed border and the beneficiaries of the resources that people have a free ride in the border opportunistic motives, let alone allow outsiders Free access to this resource. Therefore, our country's market reforms, property rights reform, but to resolve the ownership of the facility, but because of the complexity of the facilities, as well as the plight of the existence of collective action of farmers, with small farmers on the basis of the enormous costs are smaller system of revenue, making it an institutional arrangement does not necessarily bring the expected performance. (3) Under the framework of the existing system, government financial authority and division of powers between the "reverse" of agriculture and irrigation facilities is caused by the inadequacy of the source of the overall supply. Agriculture and irrigation facilities by the Government in the history of financial authority and powers of analysis can change that, along with China's financial reform and the rural tax and fee reform started, the Government clearly exists between the property right move but the powers it down trend. The reverse, making the central government due to "cast it" and quit, the local government due to limited financial resources that can not be put into the farmers because of "atomization" and the lack of building incentives. (4) Agriculture and irrigation facilities must be raised to the national strategic level, in order to fundamentally solve the problem. On the national point of view, agriculture and irrigation strategic, as it relates to food safety, related to people's livelihood is related to ecological security, it is not simply an economic issue, are essentially political problems. As for countries, agriculture and irrigation facilities is a political issue, it should be in accordance with the political issues of governance to deal with, at the macro level to rise to a strategic height, at the micro level to build institutional mechanisms at the operational level, should agriculture and irrigation facilities building from the current emergency management into risk management. (5) Remodeling new rural collective organization on the basis of collective management of agricultural water facilities. Traditional collective economic organizations both from the economic point of view, or from the social point of view and cultural point of view, have been very difficult to play its due effect, so the reconstruction of a new type of rural collective organizations is imperative. (6) Agriculture and irrigation facilities, investment and financing mechanisms required at the national, social, and between farmers find the best combination of methods. Rural local conditions vary widely, which means not only a system arrangement. Conducting system of thinking, it is necessary to jump out of a single or country, or market, or farmers simplistic imagination, but also to avoid the abstract to state, market, farmers in general terms the three together, but must be from the agricultural water conservancy facilities characteristics, the nature of rural society, the country's stability and a market economy these basic premise, in the state, market, farmers find the best combination of three ways. Coupled with the history of agriculture and irrigation facilities are too many debts, the scale of investment is huge, simply relying on a single investment and financing channels can not meet the needs of rural economic and social development, therefore, play a leading role to ensure that government investment in the case of in different areas, for the state, collectives and farmers the best combination of methods to solve the source of funds for agriculture and irrigation facilities, the best way.Some policy recommendations:(1) investment mechanism and improve the agricultural water conservancy facilities, improve the mechanism of steady growth in government investment. First, make laws and regulations; increase the government-led investment, to ensure that sources of funding. Second, broaden the financing channels, the effective use of capital market, and establish flexible and effective financing mechanisms. (2) Improve agriculture and irrigation facilities, property rights reform, and investment in building new growth mechanism. Agriculture and irrigation facilities, reform of property rights to the core of clear property rights to protect the legitimate interests of farmers as the fundamental, in order to ensure the safe operation of agricultural irrigation facilities as a precondition, the right to release the building, transfer of assets, rights, conversion management rights and revitalize the stock of assets optimize the portfolio to fully mobilize the broad masses of peasants and community participation in agricultural construction and management of small water conservancy facilities, the enthusiasm to play good efficiency small water conservancy facilities in rural areas, promote rural economic sustained, rapid and healthy development. (3) To transform government functions, optimize investment environment. First, change concepts of the agriculture and irrigation facilities from the emergency management to risk management. The second is to develop and publish long-term agricultural water development planning. Third, develop investment and finance-related policies, regulations and systems. Fourth is to strengthen the whole process of agricultural water control facilities. (4) Effective use of good "thing" policy. (5) Refer to the "theory of multi-center management," Construction of the water conservancy facilities of agricultural investment and financing system.The innovations of this paper are:(1) research perspectives and theoretical frameworks of innovation. Germany by Professor Alan Smith·SSP paradigm of Chinese agriculture and irrigation facilities, property arrangements and investment and financing mechanism for a comprehensive and systematic theoretical analysis, this paper is not only an innovative research method, this study is a major characteristic. (2). Reveal the overall lack of irrigation facilities in agriculture causes the system. A long time, highlight the urban-rural dual structure, a single main supply of agricultural water conservancy facilities; reform and opening up, due to agriculture and irrigation facilities, market-oriented reforms, coupled with the financial system caused by changes in the intergovernmental process of "property rights" and "powers" and "reverse "and thus give rise to government investment in agriculture on the absence of irrigation facilities, farmers invest in agriculture and irrigation facilities in the pan on the force is inadequate investment in agriculture and irrigation facilities, the importance of the overall system of roots. (3) Agricultural irrigation facilities constructed "state" consistent with the investment and financing mechanisms. Different agricultural irrigation facilities of the "state" correspond to a different property rights arrangement thus corresponds to a different investment and financing mechanisms.
