Shiyang River Basin as a typical inland river basin has their shared characteristics. At the same time, Shiyang River Basin is the reflection of problems encountered in the development and utilization of water resources of inland river basins and others. The paper analyzes the water use in Shiyang River Basin from the perspective of environmental ethics and puts forward the corresponding environmental ethics building model and proposal. It also hopes to be a reference for the sustainable use of water resources of China northwest inland river basins and the socio-economic sustainable development in oasis. First the paper summarizes the research content and related theory, make full use of the existing research results and strive to realize the combination of theory and practice.
