| As a new thought of water resources management, the Strictest Water Resources Management System(SWRMS) is a profound institutional change in the history of China’s water resources management. It has been attached great importance by the government. Since SWRMS is a new thing, and it has put forward higher goals and requirements for China’s water resources management, a large number of technical problems still need to be solved, which is an urgent task as well as a difficult challenge in the current. In addition, establishing an evaluation system of water resources management responsibility is a crucial guarantee of implementing various measures of SWRMS and achieving its ultimate goal. Water resources management performance evaluation is a key component to successfully implement SWRMS. Also, it is a premise of scientific decision-making during water resources management, and a momentous basis for scientifically and rationally developing water resources management strategies adapted to economic and social development. Accordingly, it is of great significance to implement water resources management performance evaluation. Furthermore, building a safeguard system for performance evaluation can afford support and protection for the effective implementation of the strictest water resources management performance evaluation. Therefore, to study the strictest water resources management performance evaluation and its safeguard system are the focuses of this paper.Based on summarizing the domestic and foreign research status and existing problems, and a comprehensive interpretation of SWRMS, the strictest water resources management performance evaluation index system was established in this paper. Also, the paper proposed determination methods of performance evaluation standard and a performance evaluation method, and built a safeguard system to guarantee the performance evaluation of the strictest water resources management. Finally, a case study for application was researched. In particular, the research contents of this paper were mainly as follows:(1) Interpretation of SWRMS. The transform of China’s water resources management ideas and the proposed process of SWRMS were expounded. Also, the concept, content, system configuration of SWRMS, the meaning and interrelation of three red lines as well as four systems were analyzed. On this basis, the paper presented the essential points to practice SWRMS.(2) Performance evaluation of the strictest water resources management. On the basis of fully understanding the concept, necessity and significance of water resources management performance evaluation, the thought of index system establishment, conceptual framework of index selection, principles and ideas of index selection were elaborated. Then the performance evaluation index system of the strictest water resources management was built based on the Pressure- State- Response framework. Also, the paper pointed out ideas and methods to determine performance evaluation standard, and proposed the Strictest Water Resources Management Performance Index(SWRMPI). It selected the Single Index quantification- Multiple Indicator integration- Poly criteria integration method(SMI-P) as the performance evaluation method.(3) Security system establishment of the strictest water resources management performance evaluation. The value targets, construction principles and the four functions of the security system for the strictest water resources management performance evaluation were analyzed at first. Then the paper a reasonable security system and the main protection safeguards to make guarantee for the effective implementation of performance evaluation.(4) Case study in Zhengzhou City. Combined with the situation of Zhengzhou City, the strictest water resources management performance evaluation system applicable to Zhengzhou City was established. Based on this, the strictest water resources management performance of administrative districts in Zhengzhou City was evaluated by collecting related indicators data. Then the rationality of the evaluation results was analyzed, and finally the appropriate adaptation safeguards for the actual situation and existing problem were put forward. |
