Currently,watershed management has become a tried and true mode in most countries and regions of the world.Watershed management has been constantly explored by most countries,and both the theory and the practice of river basin management have been greatly enriched.However,watershed management is still in the initial stage of exploration in our country.Therefore,how to learn the foreign successful experience in watershed management in order to form an effective watershed management model in our country has been one of the major tasks in water resources management.In order to provide some useful lessons to domestic watershed management practice,this paper summarized the successful experience and the existing problems of three representative watershed management modes,that is the Tennessee River watershed management mode,Australia MurrayDarling River watershed management model and the Thames River watershed management model in British.This paper took Yalong River hydropower development as an example.The authors first conducted a comprehensive analysis of the actual situation in Yalong River watershed.Second,River watershed and the three foreign watersheds were compared.Third,the authors adequately took the successful experience in watershed management model of the three foreign watersheds for reference to put forward the relevant measures and suggestion to the Yalong River watershed management.

Key words: Yalong River Basin, watershed management model, water resource exploitation
