14 Water Resource Allocation and Regulation in Yellow River Basin
Finally, a new allocation plan would be formulated according to a new allocation
after transfer. This is a necessary and proper procedure to guarantee farmers’ water
rights before and after trade, as well as being a required procedure for trade.
14.6 Summary
The chapter introduces water resource allocation and regulation in the Yellow River
Basin. The water resources, problems, and their evolution in the river basin are
presented. The water resource allocation and changes to the basin plan are analyzed.
The water resource regulations at different levels are discussed. At the same time,
the water trade, from agricultural savings to industry in the middle reach of the basin,
is investigated.
The water resource allocation and regulation in the Yellow River Basin is the first
modern and most important case of a water rights system in water resources management in China. The allocation target in the Yellow River has changed several times to
improve management, from runoff to both surface and groundwater resources, from
mainstream to all river basin, and from usage to consumption. At the same time, there
have been several technical and managerial linkage issues in the implementation.
