摘要

At present, the utilization rate of water resources in agriculture is low. And proprietary rights and the right of using water resources are not clearly separated. Agricultural using water is wasted too much. Based on the present development of market economy in our country and the condition of the Yellow River irrigation area, the right of using water should not be transferred withou compensation, although there are some practice problems and difficulties needed to be solved as soon as possible during transfering. It is shown in the study that the realization of the Yellow River irrigation water compensable transfer would play very important significance to realize Yellow River water resources optimum allocation and to raise efficiency and benefits of water resource utilization. This paper studies the ways and means of compensable transfer of water rights in the Yellow River Irrigation areas and provides some suggestions.
