In order to effectively regulate the construction and operation management of the irrigation management mode, with our distinctive feature of the WUA, to make it widely, the thesis of the WUA specific with running problems, from a macro and micro level to do a detailed study.In this thesis, including:Firstly, the introduction and review of the literature, this part refers to the problems and purposes of the research, introduces the ideas, methods, content and possible innovations of the research, and review the previous theoretical and empirical research. Secondly, theoretical basic research of WUA, refers to the participatory management theory, the theory of property rights and water rights related to the theory, the theory of collective action, institutional innovation and institutional change theory, transaction cost theory.Thirdly, the study of the formation and operation management of the WUA, write this part of the definition of the WUA; the WUA formation of conditions, principles and procedures; the WUA running management principles and content; WUAthe price of water accounting and collection; WUA research through field visits and research of Farmer Water Association and plumbing units, listen to the opinions and ideas of the leadership and the person in charge of the Association, in-depth analysis of the of Farmer Water Association in the formation and runningthe problems in the process, affect the Association for the development of deep-seated external factors.
