"Executive summary" harmony between man and water has become the natural harmony of man and the biggest challenge. Harmony between man and water from people's discord. Instead, people contribute to the harmony between man and water in harmony. Harmony between people depends on incentive-compatible institutional arrangements. This is because the system changes the basic functions and the role of the largest cost savings, reduce risk, encourage Cooperation . System construction is the major challenge of the most efficient human response.
1999 since dried up in the runoff and the situation continued, the Yellow River Conservancy Commission to ensure the continued flow of the Yellow River for five consecutive years. This is a major achievement in the New Harness, Harnessing the Yellow River from the traditional to the modern Yellow River in an important symbol, with important ecological, economic, social and political significance. Yellow Anti-drying practice is a successful systems change, through the implementation of the water regulation, strengthening the overall control of regional water, provinces and regions along the Yellow River water has changed the incentive structure, and promote the river basin water rights established order. Yellow summarized the most important anti-drying work experience, the system construction is the key to success.
But the constant flow of the Yellow River at present is still fragile, anti-drying is still long way to go. Yellow River to win the continuous and reliable stream, river basin watershed system still requires an efficient major institutional change.
The Yellow River watershed practices on behalf of our country's water management system for the construction of important progress. Yellow River watershed over the past 10 years practice, in particular, anti-drying practice in recent years, as China's major rivers and lakes of the water management system guidelines for the path, on behalf of the Chinese the basic direction of water management reform. Implementation of water management from the traditional to the modern transformation of water management into the institutional and legal operation of the track, it is workers in the next 10 years, the historical mission of water. The core is shifted from system construction as the central building of the center, in all relevant areas of water to establish an effective, transparent and predictable institutional arrangements to promote the establishment of water-saving society and pollution prevention society and to social harmony between people the relationship between the promotion of human natural harmony of water.
"Key words" Yellow River, water allocation, unified control, water rights, institution building
1, Introduction: Yellow five-year results of surprise continued flow
20 Century 90, the lower Yellow River intensified the drying national attention, but also shocked the world. Since 1999, the implementation of the Yellow River Conservancy Commission water regulation. 2000 to 2004, continuing in the Yellow River dried up in the case of inflow, the Yellow River flow to achieve continued for five consecutive years and achieved remarkable economic and social and ecological Environment Effectiveness of the Yellow River Anti-drying stage of significant progress achieved, surprisingly, has attracted worldwide attention.
Continued flow of the Yellow River five years, achievements, comprehensive use of various means, the most important is to strengthen the management of water regulation, implemented in 1987 the State Council issued the Yellow River watershed program, provinces and regions to achieve the orderly and water basin and regulating water use. Yellow Anti-drying the greatest success is that the large-scale institutional change through the establishment of water rights in the basin for distribution to system construction for the optimal allocation of water resources.
Human activities require taking into account the two flood control management: the relationship between Man and nature of water management, coordination of human relations and social governance. Governance of the Yellow River in the past mainly natural governance, performance management for the engineering technology has reached a very high level, contrast, social control is still very weak, is drying up and pollution caused by 3 important reasons. Through the unified control management, the establishment of water rights system, the implementation mechanism, improve the water distribution system of river basin system, effectively alleviate the Yellow River, which is full of social governance of the Yellow River to strengthen the mark. Over the past three years of the tests conducted in the Yellow River, known as the Yellow River in the passive to active Yellow River in the turning point. In contrast, anti-drying over the past six years to carry out large-scale system, and could be regarded as passive to active Harnessing the Yellow River Yellow River in yet another turning point. Harnessing the Yellow River water and sediment regulation from the traditional to the modern Yellow River in the first major sign of the Yellow River is the second important anti-flag stop. The former is used a lot of modern technology Harness model, which is the Harness of social governance in the overall strengthening of the beginning.
