A Study On The Scientiifc Management Of Well Irrigation Water In Rural Area Of Midong District

Agriculture refers to the national economy and the people’s livelihood, which isdirectly related to the social stability. Irrigation, as the lifeblood of agriculture, isabsolutely crucial for agricultural production. The role of well irrigation for agriculturalproduction is increasingly important for the arid and semi-arid regions and the watermanagement of well irrigation in rural area has become an issue for the rural economicdevelopment. Therefore, it is very important to focus on the research of well irrigationwater management in rural area.This paper uses economics and management methods to study the scientificmanagement of well irrigation in the Midong District of Urumqi, Xijiang. Based on theresearches both on international level and domestic level, the current irrigation status ofMidong District is introduced and the existing problems are proposed. With the aim toresolve those problems, the factors affecting well irrigation are analyzed, including thereasonable dispensation of well and irrigation acreage, setting up water pricingmechanism, and establishing well management mode, etc. Finally, a series of measureson scientific management of well irrigation are proposed.Main conclusions of this paper include: Firstly, the water management of wellirrigation is a systematic project which needs the integrated management, reasonabledispensation of motor-pumped well and irrigation area, and it can be resolved byusing mathematical models which can help to achieve a finer and scientific managementand modify the current extensive management level. Secondly, a scientific water pricingmechanism should be established and Limited Price Measures should be considered.Thirdly, the management mode of Water Users Association is recommended for thewater management in Midong District.
