Abstract：The Three Gorges Reservoir Region,as an important component of the Yangtze River Economic Belt and the upper reaches ecological buffer zone,has always been highly valued by the central and local governments for its ecological nurturing and development and environmental protection.Nevertheless,there has been little research on the choice of policy tools and the system construction.This paper analyzes and studies the current water ecosystem features,water ecological status and environmental problems,and protection policies in the Three Gorges Reservoir Region,and builds a water ecosystem protection policy system that is suitable for the new development stage.The system mainly consists of three layers,including top-level regulatory design and planning,core policy system layout,and basic support policy system.It involves management systems,dam safety,water resources allocation and regulation,water pollution prevention and control systems,regulation systems for submerged areas,water ecosystem restoration,ecological space access and control,and green development systems,etc.It completes the policy system for ecological and economic synchronous development and coordinated development in the Three Gorges Reservoir Region,and provides scientific basis for the strategic decision-making and management of the ecological protection of the Three Gorges Reservoir Region.
