Study On The Implementation Effect Of Agricultural Water Rights Trading System In Arid Areas Of Northwest China

With the continuous advancement of agricultural modernization in China,agricultural development has entered into a fast lane.As an important Public affairs,agricultural irrigation system is crucial to rural economic development and food security.However,in recent years,the ecological environment of water inflow has become increasingly severe,and the contradiction between supply and demand of agricultural irrigation water has become prominent.Agriculture,as the largest industry in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region,has a high demand for and a large proportion of water resources,"the total amount of water resources determines the planting area of land,the quota of water resources determines the planting varieties of crops,and agricultural water rights are granted to farmers" has become a rigid demand for agricultural development in Xinjiang.Therefore,the establishment of"agricultural water rights trading system" is of great significance to improve agricultural water efficiency and promote agricultural water-saving.This paper taking C City of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region as an example,starting with the number of water resource surplus transactions in the agricultural water rights trading system,interviews the direct participants and beneficiaries of the system,and analyzes the influencing factors of the implementation effect of the agricultural water rights trading system using the "social ecosystem" analysis framework.The results show that there are three aspects that have a significant impact on the implementation effect of agricultural water rights trading system:first,the level of government service ability,including the impact of policy publicity and guidance on farmers’ policy cognition;the impact of supply and demand information transfer mechanism on water rights trading efficiency;the impact of trading process on farmers’ water rights trading cost.the impact of trading price formation mechanism on water rights trading revenue;the influence of grass-roots government’s governance capacity on the efficiency of water right transaction.the second is the level of farmland water conservancy infrastructure,specifically including the impact of new channel maintenance input mechanism on agricultural irrigation water-saving effect,the impact of the popularization and application of drip irrigation water-saving technology on agricultural irrigation water-saving effect and the impact of agricultural water intake measurement technology level on the fairness of water right transaction.the third is the level of farmers’ cooperation,specifically,it includes the impact of the degree of farmers’ cooperation on the efficiency of water rights trading,and the impact of farmers’ cooperation on the efficiency of water-saving irrigation.And four suggestions are put forward.First,improve the government’s ability of good governance to ensure the realization of policy objectives;second,improve the construction of farmland water conservancy facilities and strengthen the efficiency of agricultural water conservation;third,cultivate farmers’ cooperative organizations to effectively improve the space for water conservation;fourth,improve the water rights trading system of "government supervision and market regulation".
