What methods can the owners take to implement the main body of water conservancy project management and protection?

The management and protection of water conservancy projects can be managed by the owners themselves, and the owners can also implement the main body of management and protection by leasing, contracting and entrusting. Large and medium-sized irrigation and drainage backbone projects are funded by the government in principle, and the management and maintenance are separated. Small-scale irrigation and water conservancy projects can be independently operated by farmers, rural collective economic organizations, farmers' water cooperation organizations, and new agricultural business entities. Professional property management can also be implemented through large-scale and small-scale joint management. Encourage the introduction of professional and socialized service teams to undertake the management and maintenance of farmland water conservancy projects through government purchase of services and entrusted operation. Local water administrative departments at all levels should clarify the standards and systems of management and protection, actively promote the standardized management of farmland water conservancy projects, and strengthen supervision and guidance.

In principle, the project owner is responsible for the implementation of the project management and protection funds, and the government at or above the county level shall establish a reasonable burden mechanism for project management and protection composed of water fee income, operating income and financial subsidies. Implement the basic expenditure of public welfare personnel and project maintenance funds for large and medium-sized irrigation and drainage backbone projects. Actively explore mortgage financing with project ownership or use right, and introduce commercial insurance to solve operation and maintenance costs. The expenditure on the maintenance of farmland water conservancy facilities arranged by financial funds at all levels shall be fully used for project maintenance and operation management, and the government at or above the county level and its relevant departments shall formulate management measures for the collection and use of project management and protection funds, and establish an assessment and reward mechanism.
