According to the current situation of social development of Shandong province, water resources have become the bottleneck of rapid development of Shandong's economy. However, the combination of increasing water shortage and waste forces us to ponder over the pattern of water use and management. Furthermore, as agriculture is a great water consumer, the imperfect management of irrigation water has increasingly been recognized as one of important factors leading to water shortage. Therefore, use and management of irrigation water has been increasingly attached importance to.On the basis of research theories and successful practice in fields of use and management of irrigation water at home and abroad, and scientifically directed by such theories as institution economics, economics of property rights, resources and environmental economics, economics of industry and game theory, this thesis attempts to design administrant system and regulatory policies of irrigation water that are propitious to water saving of Shandong province, by studying water use management, water supply management and water obtaining management of Shandong irrigation water use. And these can directly guide the realistic practice of use and management of irrigation water and provide service to improve allocation efficiency of irrigation water and achieve its sustainable use. The main contents and conclusions of this thesis are as follows:(1)The fact that irrigation water of Shandong province faces current austere situation, makes us realize reform of administrant system of irrigation area is one of important measures to improve the use efficiency of irrigation water and save agricultural water. According to institutional analysis of property rights of irrigation water, such water resources belong to "common pool " resources, and besides, irrigation water use has obvious characteristic of externality. What's more, in the light of game theory analysis of irrigation water users, serious phenomenon of free ride exists in irrigation engineering facilities without efficient institutional design. Theoretical analysis of property rights of irrigation water indicates that rational institution arrangement of irrigation water can internalize externality; and thereby decrease exchange cost and uncertainty of economical activity; and in opposition help entities of property rights to improve rational anticipation of future proceeds and increase...
