Farmers' Water-using Association:A Successful Water Resources Management Patternof Socialized Management:A Typical Example from the Middle Reach of the Heihe River

水是生态与环境的控制性要素,更是人类和一切生物赖以生存与发展的最重要的物质基础。然而,在我国特别是在西北内陆干旱地区,水资源短缺已成为制约经济社会可持续发展的关键因子。农民用水户协会作为农业用水社会化管理的主要模式已在国外众多流域中被推广运用,这一模式的引进,为解决解决我国水资源短缺问题开辟了新途径。以水资源极度短缺的黑河中游地区为例,就农民用水者协会的运行状况及其绩效进行了实证调查。

Water is considered as a controlling factor to ecological environment.What＇s more,it is an important guarantee for the existence of human beings and animals.However,the shortage of water resources is thought to be a key factor restricting the sustainable socio-economic development in China,especially in northern China.As an important attempt,Famers＇ Water-using Association（WUA） is an irrigation management model which should be popularized in irrigation districts.When this model is introduced in China,it is considered as a new way to solve the problem of water shortage in China.In this paper,the authors take Zhangye City of Gansu Province as an example,a severe water-shortage region in arid northwest China,and have conducted an empirical investigation on the operation situation and performance of WUA.
