Features: The research purpose of this book is to preliminarily establish a river water rights system, further establish a Yellow River water withdrawal rights system, and systematically analyze the Yellow River water withdrawal rights market, laying a theoretical foundation for the market-oriented reform of the Yellow River water resources allocation system. The study of water rights and water markets is still in the exploratory stage. The research on the river water rights system and the Yellow River water withdrawal rights market in this book will fill the gap in the theoretical research on water rights and water markets in this field, which will have significant theoretical implications for the construction and development of the discipline of water resources economics, as well as for the enrichment and development of Yellow River governance theory. It will also have significant practical implications for guiding the reform of river water resources allocation systems, especially for the Yellow River. The book is divided into ten chapters and conducts research from both qualitative and quantitative perspectives by comprehensively applying the basic theories of water resources, economics, management, law, and other disciplines. Innovations have been made in the following areas: proposing the concept of river water rights and studying the river water rights system and river water withdrawal rights system; researching the concepts of fairness and efficiency in water withdrawal rights allocation; establishing an initial allocation model for regional inter-basin river water withdrawal rights within the basin; analyzing the direction and measures of the reform of river water resources allocation systems; using game theory to conduct a deductive analysis of the Yellow River water withdrawal rights allocation system; establishing a Yellow River water withdrawal rights system with two levels—basic water rights and surplus water rights; in-depth exploration of the tradability of Yellow River water withdrawal rights; theoretically exploring the basic water rights market and surplus water rights market for regional inter-basin water withdrawal rights in the Yellow River mainstream; exploring the irrigation water market based on a multi-center governance structure; conducting a technical and economic analysis of irrigation water conservation behavior; preliminarily studying the impact of the Yellow River agricultural water rights non-agricultural market, the Yellow River external basin water transfer market, and the South-to-North Water Diversion water rights market on the Yellow River water withdrawal rights market; establishing a Yellow River water price system based on the water withdrawal rights market; analyzing the demand of the digital Yellow River project for the construction of the Yellow River water withdrawal rights market; and establishing a digital Yellow River water resources allocation and management system based on the water withdrawal rights market.
