This book provides a first comprehensive legal examination of water
rights arrangements and water rights trading in China. Although
recent water reform in China has made substantial progress in
policy development and practice, how its legal and institutional
framework facilitates or hinders the application of tradable water
rights remains less addressed in the existing scholarship. Against
the backdrop of China's water reform and the wider international
debate in water governance, this book aims to provide an innovative
approach to the complex issue of water governance by critically
analysing the recent legal and policy developments in China towards
tradable water rights. It examines the deficiencies of the current
systems for water rights arrangements and trading, explores how
China may learn from and build on the international trends in water
rights trading practice (mainly Australia and the US), and proposes
legal and policy frameworks for defining and administering tradable
water rights in China that underpin sustainable water use in the
face of exacerbated water scarcity, variability, and uncertainty.
All in all, the book proposes pragmatic strategies for China's
water law and policy reform to move towards tradable water rights,
which encompasses a comprehensive prescription from initialising
and defining tradable water rights to administering water rights
and trading. By reflecting on the deepening water reforms in both
China and other jurisdictions, the book aims to contribute to the
international water governance debate by exploring from a legal and
policy perspective, how China, comparative to other cases around
the world, can find a balanced combination of water allocation
mechanisms to address its water challenges. It is hoped that the
observations and proposed implications for China's water reform
will contribute to developing a better understanding of the way in
which experiences in water markets can be shared from jurisdiction
to jurisdiction.
