ABSTRACT: Overcoming the cut-off problem doesn’t mean the realization of Yellow River ecological water rights because the social water is still occupying the ecological water in a number of ways. This paper analyzes the lower reaches of the Yellow River’s ecological water rights crisis and illustrates that the property rights of the ecological water rights are low. The systematic root of low property rights of the ecological water rights lies in the stagnant construction of water rights systems and insufficient supply of protection systems, which are presented by unclearly defined subjects and objects of the ecological water rights, the ambiguous water rights ranking system and the imperfect water rights allocation mechanism. In this paper, the authors put forward the optimization path of safeguarding the ecological water rights, including defining the subject and object of the ecological water rights of the Yellow River, clearing rights responsibility and benefits; refining the water rights ranking system and having the ranks of ecological water rights advanced; strengthening the effective supply of ecological water by utilizing the water rights market; upgrading the management system of ecological water rights and boosting the labor division and collaboration among water management organs.
