Research status and application of horizontal ecological compensation mechanism for basin hydropower development
Horizontal ecological compensation in the basin is an important means to achieve resource complementary and economic reciprocity among various stakeholders within the basin,which is of great significance in promoting the equali-zation of ecological environment services and development equity within the basin.From the concepts,principles,models,benchmarks,funding sources,and other related theories of horizontal ecological compensation in river basins,we analyzed the current research status of horizontal ecological compensation in river basins.By combining the characteristics of hy-dropower development in river basins,the horizontal ecological compensation and funding sources related to hydropower development were analyzed,and the deepening application of the horizontal ecological compensation model in environ-mental management of hydropower development in the middle reaches of Jinsha River basin was explored.We proposed the application suggestions in two aspects,the horizontal compensation mechanism for upstream and downstream power generation enterprises in the basin and reward and punishment mechanism of horizontal assessment for project manage-ment.
