Abstract:In 2016, it launched the comprehensive reform of agricultural water price in Linqing City, which took such actions as regulating pricing mechanism, upgrading water metering facilities, implementing targeted subsidies and water-saving incentives, with achievements such as total agricultural water consumption deduction, water use efficiency rising, and optimized administrative management mechanisms. Nevertheless, there are still bottleneck issues during reform implementation, including incomplete coverage of metering facilities, low capacity of inter-departmental cooperation and non-standard daily operation and maintenance. This paper summarizes major achievements and follow-up promotion measures of Linqing's agricultural water price reform, analyzed existing drawbacks, and puts forward countermeasures including perfecting metering infrastructure, establishing an integrated construction-operation-maintenance mechanism, improving daily management system, advancing institutional transformation of administrative agencies and innovating project construction modes, so as to provide references for further deepening agricultural water price reform in peer regions.
