Why is the compensation for reservoir relocation the lowest?

Legal analysis: there is no minimum compensation for reservoir relocation, and the relocation compensation is used for resettlement and property loss caused by land acquisition, subject to the actual land use income.

Legal basis: Regulations on Land Requisition Compensation and Resettlement for Large and Medium-sized Water Conservancy and Hydropower Projects Article 22 The land compensation and resettlement subsidies for land requisitioned by large and medium-sized water conservancy and hydropower projects are the same as those for infrastructure projects such as railways, and shall be implemented according to the standards stipulated by the provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government where the land is requisitioned. The compensation standards for scattered trees and young crops on the expropriated land shall be implemented in accordance with the standards stipulated by the provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government where the expropriated land is located. The attachments on the expropriated land shall be compensated according to their original scale, original standards or the principle of restoring their original functions; Appropriate subsidies should be given to poor immigrants whose compensation expenses are not enough to build basic housing. Other units or individuals who use state-owned cultivated land according to law shall be compensated according to the compensation standard for expropriation of cultivated land; Units or individuals that use unused state-owned land with undetermined purposes shall not be compensated. After the immigrants move away, the scattered trees and houses owned by the immigrants above the submerged line around the reservoir shall be compensated according to the standards stipulated in the second and third paragraphs of this article respectively.
