Abstract
This chapter is the concluding chapter of this book. It first provides an overview of the theoretical enquiry made in the book by presenting a water rights governance spectrum. It also draws together the proposals that are made throughout the book to feed pragmatic strategies for China’s water law and policy reform to move towards tradable water rights. It puts China’s water reform in the context of its wider societal transition, as well as the wider context of international water governance discussions and policy challenges in responding to future changes in water supply and demand. It also points out directions for future research.
