【 摘 要 】

The difference of water resources distribution between north and south in China is very obvious, so the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and Tianhe Project emerge as the times require. Combining with the similarities and differences of the two projects, this paper analyzes the sustainability of the Tianhe Project and the western route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project through a simple game model, and finds that the short-term applicability of the Tianhe Project are more significant, and the long-term applicability of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project are more significant. Therefore, the Tianhe Project and the western route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project should be jointly constructed to achieve the maximum economic sustainblility. Both can bring great improvements to arid areas in environmental and social effect. Although it is conducive to realize the rational allocation of water resources, there are still many problems in the implementation of Tianhe Project, this paper puts forward relevant policy suggestions after analyzing the causes.
