水利经济学研究水利事业各种经济关系和经济活动规律的科学。是经济学学科体系中的部门经济学的一个分支。它应用经济学的基本原理和方法,研究提高水利事业经济效益的途径和措施。2011年中央一号文件《中共中央国务院关于加快水利改革发展的决定》是建国来中央首次对水利工作进行全面部署。但是,在高等教育中,水利水电类等非经济类专业很少开设水利经济学等相关课程,在水利事业受到高度重视的 Water conservancy economics studies the science of various economic relations and economic activities in water conservancy. It is a branch of departmental economics in the discipline system of economics. It applies the basic principles and methods of economics to study ways and measures to improve the economic benefits of water conservancy projects. In 2011, the Central Document No. 1 “Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Accelerating the Reform and Development of Water Conservancy” was the first time that Jianguo came to the center to fully deploy water conservancy work. However, in higher education, non-economic majors such as water conservancy and hydropower rarely open related courses such as water economics, and they are highly valued in water conservancy projects.
