Abstract
ABSTRACT Building large water diversion projects to form a grand national or regional water network is an important option to address the water crisis. It is necessary to explore the systems for managing large water network projects. This paper studied the management systems for large water network projects based on the institutional change theory. It put forward a set of innovative management options for the South-to-North Water Diversion (SNWD) project, the Three Gorges project and other similar projects in China. A comparative of these options, in both qualitative and quantitative terms, was conducted based on SWOT analysis and comprehensive expert evaluation. This paper finally proposed a recommended option, which requires the SNWD project, the Three Gorges project and the Danjiangkou reservoir to be managed together, and reservoirs along the three projects to be managed by local authorities.
