Abstract：Water resources allocation and regulation is the essential measure to achieve spatial equilibrium of water resources,improve the overall efficiency of the water network,and promote regional high-quality development.Nowadays,the institution building of water resources constraints and national water network construction are being promoted as national strategies,and concepts of"water dominates development"and"water-adapted development"have gradually become a social consensus and implemented in socio-economic management.The requirements and conditions for water resource allocation and regulation are changing fundamentally,and the dramatic progress of technological methods in the new era has also brought new opportunities.The traditional water resource allocation and regulation model of"determining water based on water itself"and"determining supply based on demand"can no longer fully adapt to the new situation and requirements.It is necessary to raise awareness,identify problems,seize opportunities,and propose effective solutions under new conditions.Major challenges and opportunities faced by water resources allocation and regulation and its involved key issues in the new era are put forward based on a systematic analysis,then the key issues faced in water allocation and regulation are summarized,including:understanding in ranges and ways of decision-making,analysis of allocation and regulation path,judgment on supply-demand situation,and measures designing on allocation and regulation.The solving direction and pertinent countermeasures are analyzed,following the principles of water resources constraints,"spatial equilibrium"and"water determining demand".In response to the existing problems,the implementation paths for modernization of water resources allocation and regulation management are summarized,from the aspects of policy making,technological breakthroughs,models development,and standards design.The relevant contents could provide references for the decision-making on regional development and industry development,the optimal layout and operation of key hydraulic engineering,and policy-making on water-related management.
