Hydraulic engineering constructions have received great achievements in our country, the exploitation and utilization of water resources have greatly offered to economic development and society advancement. Now the direction of Hydraulic engineering constructions is being changed to ecology, resources and people's livelihood, and the importance of Hydraulic engineering constructions' management has been emphasized. Water price is one of the key questions. A reasonable and feasible water price is the one answered for the rule of the market's supply and demand, satisfied to reclaim the investment as well as been accepted by consumer, allowed to empolder water resources as well as protect environment, advanced to develop society and economy, as well as favor people's livelihood advantage. If water price is too low, go against the construction of water saving society, but if it is too high, it would bring on a phase of couldn't sell out water. The two are all the phase of waste of water resources.The author aims at the questions of water price, uses of reference from the developed country's advanced experience about water resources' management, anatomy characteristics and meaning of water resources, research principles to water price established, analyse it's composing, bring forward originally a new method to establish integrated water price which consider both the cost of engineering and the paying capacity of consumer.The author firstly considered the water supply side, analysed engineering water price, resources water price and environment water price, summed these three kinds of water price to one which is named "supply water price". It can ensure the operation of the project and will bring some benefits. Secondly, it analysed the "integrated water price" which is setted forward from the endured capacity of consumer. Finally, based on analyzing the principle that must be considered in confirming reasonable water price, used AHP method to analyse and integrate the two kinds of water price. The paper linked one big water diversion project, formed water price structure AHP model, analysed and confirmed every factor's guide line and connection of each other, based on the data of water resources supplied and required, coupled supply water price considering the project development and consumer water price basing on consumer endure capability to one. This water price considering the benefit both the developer and customer is a reasonable and feasible water price named "integrated water price", which can facilitate sustainable development and reasonable resources distribution. So it has an important and realistic referenced meaning to confirm water price of this project.Studying the contradiction between supply water price and consumer water price in theory and analyzing systemically them by using AHP method, the paper proposed an integrated water price not only feasible in theory but also acceptable by both the developer and consumer, therefore, the view in paper is of significant value both in theory and in practice. The method of water price constituted has an important meaning in exerting benefit and andvancing fine development of water resources engineering.
