2006 to 2020. The core goal of this plan is to establish a modern
irrigation water system that uses IWRM principles to allocate water
resources efficiently and equitably throughout the basin. Under this
plan, specific measures taken in the Minqin oasis have included the
following: (1) allocating initial water rights to all farmers based
available water; (2) establishing farmer WUAs at the administrative
village level; (3) increasing surface water tariffs; (4) imposing a
groundwater resource levy and establishing a scalar pricing
mechanism; (5) facilitating water rights trading through marketbased
instruments, and (6) developing water-saving agricultural
technologies (DWR and DPC of Gansu Province, 2007).
Beginning in 2007, WUAs were organized by the local government
in every administrative village of Minqin. (In rural China, the
administrative village is a political unit that usually consists of
several “natural” villages, each of which is a single ecological unit.)
The objectives of the WUAs were to involve all small-scale farmers
in IRWM; ensure democratic decision-making, management, and
supervision in water-related affairs, and promote cooperation in
water management through self-organized community networks.
The WUAs were expected to maintain the systems of field ditches,
allocate water rights to the farmers, help water administrative
departments impose water fees and groundwater resources levies,
publicize water-related laws and regulations, popularize watersaving
agricultural technologies, and mediate water disputes and
conflicts that might arise in the communities (MWR et al., 2005).
