The Transformation of Water Legal System in the Republic of China
During the period of the Republic of China,with the introduction of the western knowledge of water conservancy sci-ence and the idea and system of rule of law,China's water legal system began to explore the modernization,which was mainly re-flected in three aspects:first,the government got out of the traditional pattern,absorbed the western scientific idea of water man-agement according to law,took into account the inherent habits,and initially constructed a pluralistic water legal system with na-tional law,local regulations and folk customary law as the main body;secondly,the government broke the situation that the cen-tral water administration which was disorganized and inconsistent with power and responsibility for thousands of years,and crea-ted a unified water administration system from central to local;thirdly,the government innovated the water rights system,clari-fied the ownership of water rights,and established a diversified modern settlement mechanism for water rights disputes.The wa-ter legal system in the period of the Republic of China not only actively absorbed and introduced the advanced thought and prac-tice of western modern water legal system,but also retained some contents of the traditional water conservancy society,and stepped into the road of modernization transformation.
