Conclusion. 330 $aThis book provides a first comprehensive legal examination of water rights arrangements and water rights trading in China. Although recent water reform in China has made substantial progress in policy development and practice, how its legal and institutional framework facilitates or hinders the application of tradable water rights remains less addressed in the existing scholarship. Against the backdrop of China?s water reform and the wider international debate in water governance, this book aims to provide an innovative approach to the complex issue of water governance by critically analysing the recent legal and policy developments in China towards tradable water rights. It examines the deficiencies of the current systems for water rights arrangements and trading, explores how China may learn from and build on the international trends in water rights trading practice (mainly Australia and the US), and proposes legal and policy frameworks for defining and administering tradable water rights in China that underpin sustainable water use in the face of exacerbated water scarcity, variability, and uncertainty. All in all, the book proposes pragmatic strategies for China?s water law and policy reform to move towards tradable water rights, which encompasses a comprehensive prescription from initialising and defining tradable water rights to administering water rights and trading. By reflecting on the deepening water reforms in both China and other jurisdictions, the book aims to contribute to the international water governance debate by exploring from a legal and policy perspective, how China, comparative to other cases around the world, can find a balanced combination of water allocation mechanisms to address its water challenges. It is hoped that the observations and proposed implications for China?s water reform will contribute to developing a better understanding of the way in which experiences in water markets can be shared from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. 410 0$aGlobal Issues in Water Policy,$x2211-0631 ;$v18 606 $aEnvironmental law 606 $aEnvironmental policy 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aPublic administration 606 $aClimate change 606 $aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U16002 606 $aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/215000 606 $aPublic Administration$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34030 606 $aClimate Change Management and Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/314000 615 0$aEnvironmental law. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aPublic administration. 615 0$aClimate change. 615 14$aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice. 615 24$aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management. 615 24$aPublic Administration. 615 24$aClimate Change Management and Policy. 676 $a346.51052 700 $aJiang$b Min$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01063527 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299411303321 996 $aTowards Tradable Water Rights$92532891 997 $aUNINA
