Ecological Compensation Mechanism Red River Basin

Water Basin is a property owned public goods, the system integrity and external resources, such as the requirements of the relevant regional characteristics watershed basin should jointly undertake the construction of environmental protection. How to properly measure the relationship between the regional water resources development, utilization and environmental protection investment between and establish a reasonable ecological compensation standard model, has become a topic nowadays watershed management areas of common concern.In this paper, based on the theory of the case, literature studies, the establishment of ecological compensation standard watershed, watershed ecological construction of the data downstream into two regions. Using the theory of water footprint, water footprint defined watershed, thereby consuming explain the situation on the downstream river basin water resources; by basin water footprint calculations to determine the gain or loss of water basin, then explain the environmental problems of water resources, determine the compensate owners, objects and standards. Existing research-based watershed ecological compensation standards, can be relatively objectively and accurately quantify the amount of watershed ecological compensation, provide scientific basis for conflict between the interests of the regions the right solution watershed management side, and strive to achieve ecological and economic watershed sustainable development.The main contents are as follows:(1) The main thesis of the research background, purpose and significance, ecological compensation basin and abroad as well as(2) Thesis watershed ecological compensation connotation, theoretical basis and subject, object, compensation standards and ways and means are described, and the theoretical basis of the connotation of water footprint analyzes and research;(3) Footprint is determined by water basin water footprint calculation method, combined with the available water resources theory, the determination of water basin loss situation, establishing ecological compensation based on the standard model of water footprint;(4) In the Red River, for example, the amount of water footprint calculation and use of water on the Red River downstream of 2009-2012, to understand the relationship between the various regions; according to the situation of environmental inputs to calculate ecological compensation standards; at the same time as the Red River Basin proposed countermeasures and suggestions related ecological protection;(5) The study can be explained by the establishment of standard indicators of ecological compensation system can be effective watershed ecological protection and construction analogy of regional differences, the precise scope of ecological compensation, laid the basis for the establishment of the relevant criteria for ecological compensation; application of water to the water footprint theory ecosystem services and human resources, water use combine to reveal a variety of human activities on water consumption, indicating that the human ecological pressure on water resources, watershed ecological compensation standards take to calculate accurately the watershed increased downstream fairness and public recognition of the ecological compensation between.
