The modernization process of Tibet is a seldom treated issue, because of its controversial nature. This paper reviews some policy changes related to land and water management. The Tibetans inhabit a harsh and ecological sensitive land area. The population in Tibetan Autonomous Region was 2 096 000 in 1990. The lamaist feudalship was abolished in 1959 and replaced by a system of collective agriculture. Since 1980 a household based agrarian system coupled to a set of preferential policies has been introduced. Though still a poor region, Tibet has especially since the beginning of the 1980s undergone a profound modernization change. This change includes emphasis on land and water conservation works and a general rise in the standard of living
