Abstract: According to the status analysis of water rights transfer in Ningxia Region of Yellow River Basin, this article proposes four future water rights transfer models: gravity irrigation district, water-saving at farm, intercept-sediment transfer water and pumping irrigation area in edge region. From analysis on water saving potential, the difficulty of implementation for four modes, gravity irrigation district and water-saving at farm water rights transfer modes have higher feasibility, intercept-sediment transfer water rights transfer mode calls for careful study, the water rights transfer mode of pumping irrigation area in edge region does not equipped with water rights transfer condition.
