Evaluation of the Acceptance Method for Integrated Agricultural Water Pricing Reform in Jiangsu and Construction of “Looking-back Reform Performance” Indicators

Integrated agricultural water pricing reform is an important strategic measure of the“water-saving priority”policy to promote agricultural water-saving in China. Jiangsu as a pioneer and explorer of the reform is the first province which had completed the reform by the end of 2020. To effectively promote the reform,Jiangsu first issued the acceptance method for integrated agricultural water pricing reform（AMIAWPR）in 2019.AMIAWPR is a guide for Jiangsu’s reform,and can also be an important reference for other reformed provinces.This paper first analyzes the consistency between Jiangsu’s reform goals,tasks,and national reform requirements,and then comprehensively evaluates the suitability of the assessment indicators in AMIAWPR. Finally,the indicator system of“looking-back reform performance”for Jiangsu’s subsequent reform is preliminarily constructed.
