To introduce market mechanism into water resource management and to implement water right transaction have become the trend of water management innovation and academic research priorities. Currently, most of the domestic researches in this area focus on the concept of water right and the necessity and feasibility of water right transaction, but lack of empirical research for specific basin. To combine with the need of implementing water right transaction in East River Basin, particularly emphasizing the role of government in promoting water right transaction, this context is of great theoretical and practical value.By using literature and empirical analysis, this paper firstly analyze the implementation of water right transaction in East River Basin, and then identify the problems and the causes. Secondly, by comparing the practices of water right transaction in different areas of different countries, this paper also provides co-experience of government role in improving water right transaction for East River Basin.Through sorting the implementation of water right transaction in East River Basin, it could be found that, the subject and object of water right transaction are comparatively clear, laws and other policies lay down the rules of transaction, and the using gap of different cities constitute a driven force. However, due to the ambiguous relationship between government and market, legislation conflicts, legislation emptiness and the barriers of current water management system, water right transaction in East River Basin is not deep enough in practice, and lack of necessary legal protection and has loose function systems and so on. To improve water right transaction in East River Basin, the content of existing laws should be amended to eliminate conflicts, the follow-up legislation should be speeded up to provide protection, the functions of related institutions should be strengthened, and also should the market in a whole basin and different cities be constructed.
