STUDY ON THE ECOLOGICAL COMPENSATION SHARING IN THE CENTRAL LINE OF THE SOUTH-TO-NORTH WATER DIVERSION PROJECT.

The way to calculate and share the total amount of ecological compensation for inter-basin water transfer project is directly related to the enthusiasm of the water-receiving area in participating in the ecological protection of the water source area. This paper takes the water source area of the South-to- North Water Diversion Project and the water-receiving areas of Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and Henan as the research objects, and using the single-index method, the comprehensive index method and the deviation method to make appropriate calculation for the ecological compensation amount of 6.248 billion yuan paid to the water source area each year by the water receiving area. The results show that the method of deviation is more objective, comprehensive and reasonable, which can provide a new idea for the ecological compensation apportion calculation of the Central Line of South-to-North Water Diversion Project.
