Water Resources Of Trans-regional Cooperation

The scarcity of water is becoming the key bottleneck of the economy development in China. In the coming years, the scarcity of water will be the foremost problem for the sustainable development of China, in which the distribution of water resources is very uneven from areas to areas.Because the water has the characteristic of fluidity, the cross-board cooperation in water resources can not only optimize the water collocation, but also reduce the massive water-environment problems.Based on the water rights theory, this thesis studies the government administrative ways in water resources management in China, and expresses that the government administrative has been ruling alone in the cross-board cooperation during a very long term. The practices and studies show that the order from administrative intervention is less effective than the market mechanism. When the water becomes more and more scarce, the importance of market mechanism for more effective water collocation becomes more and more obvious. In china, it is the time to change the government administrative ways in water resources, to introduce the market mechanism, and to establish the mechanism of responsibility.By comparing the advantages and disadvantages between the market mechanism and the government administrative intervention, this thesis educes that the both ways have their failures in water collocation, so each of them can not reach the aim of optimization collocation. The reason is that the water resources have both public and private attributes. Finally, the author suggests that a system combined with market mechanism and the government administrative intervention should be established in china as soon as possible, in order to reach the aims of water's optimization collocation and ecological balance.
