At last, the system are evaluated from the aspects such as water rights transaction parties, tradable water rights, transaction procedure, transaction price and transaction period. It is conducive to promoting the construction of a fair and orderly water rights transaction market with Chinese characteristics, and provides decision-making reference for improving China's water rights management system.
