| As the source of growth and an irreplaceable substance, water is the basis for human survival, life and development of the national economy. It has become a bottleneck now and in the future, affecting and restricting the global economy, sustainable and healthy development of society. Its status quo is drawing international concern. In recent years, our country places more importance on water conservancy projects and increases investment in irrigation and water conservancy construction. Although during the "12th Five-Year" period, 2 trillion Yuan was invested on water conservancy, the actual needs in the construction of water conservancy were still not fully met.Located in the south central part of Jilin Province, Dongliao County is characterized by agricultural population, less arable land and occasional natural disasters, so the irrigation and water conservancy work has always taken the priority in the economic and social development. Based on the analysis of domestic and foreign construction of farmland irrigation and water conservancy, combined with the actual situation of the county, with reference to the domestic and foreign outstanding experience and related theory, this paper attempts to summarize the basic ideas and countermeasures that suitable for local irrigation and water conservancy construction in order to achieve effective management strategy, improve the work efficiency of irrigation and water conservancy facilities, lighten the burden of government and establish long-term mechanism. The research will provide scientific guidance to the water conservancy construction in Dongliao County and offer reference for other similar farmland water conservancy.The paper consists of six chapters. Chapter one introduces the significance of the research, its research status at home and abroad, the research contents and methods and technical route. Chapter two offers theoretical foundation for the research. It introduces the related concepts about farmland water irrigation and water conservancy construction, the contrast between traditional and modern agriculture, the theory of public goods and public choice theory. Chapter three describes the construction status and the investment of farmland water construction project in Dongliao County; the existing problems are pointed out like unclear construction main body, insufficient investment and lack of professional talents. In the fourth chapter, the farmland water conservancy construction experience at home and abroad are summarized and analyzed to form an optimal method for the actual situation in Dongliao County, thus enlighten the farmland water conservancy construction in the local area.Suggestions are made in chapter five for the farmland water conservancy construction in Dongliao County: first, central governance and famer’s individual participation should be combined; second, the main construction body should be strengthened and reasonable planning and scientific management should be made to constantly improve the management mechanism and system; more efforts should be made to open up new channels for investment and encourage the civil organizations to get involved in irrigation and water conservancy construction; a variety of educational methods should be developed to improve the professional level of water conservancy staff and the overall performance of the water conservancy work team. In Chapter six, the main conclusion of the research is drawn and the prospect of the farmland water conservancy construction in Dongliao County is put forward. |
