Abstract:

At current the shortages and inefficient use of water resource are serious problems in China.In order to solve these problems,the best approach is to build water right market.The tradable water right institution has been realized as an effective way to solve the water problems and to allocate reasonably water resources in the world.This paper introduced the basin initial allocation of water right from the latest research,including distribution principle,indicator system,distribution methods and distribution mechanism,and so on.The studies had the detailed and comprehensive description on distribution principle,general and specific principles of initial water right distribution.Different studies had different comments on the fairness and efficiency.Also principles hadn't been quantified.It couldn't get success only by distribution water quantity,because the water resources distribution involve water quantity,water quality and other factors.Available knowledge had not regard to several target models and the configuration of the multiobjective coupling methods.This paper discussed the future research direction of the basin initial allocation of water right,and on the basis of the water right,waste water discharge right and woods right,it took into account of the initial water right allocation principles,indicator system and distribution mechanism.In selecting indicators of the basin initial water right allocation fairness and efficiency should be considered.The distribution mechanism is quasimarket,including synergy mechanism,democratic consultation mechanism and cooperation game mechanisms.The development trend of water resource allocation model was integrated,and river basin water resource optimal allocation models of multiobjective,multiuser,and multilayer with group decisions should be developed to serve decision makers for rational allocation and scientific management of river basin water resources.

Key words: initial allocation of water right, integration, distribution methods
