The Tarim Basin, an important energy and agricultural production base in Northwest China, is a most fragile environment. This paper a) introduces the research results of a study undertaken of Water Resource Management and Desertification Control in the Tarim Basin, and b) analyses the problems of water resource management at both the macro‐ and micro‐levels. The paper outlines a number of proposals that will allow local policy‐makers to increase basin‐wide water use efficiency, control desertification expansion, and improve the sustainable development of the regional economy. The proposals include reforming price regimes, establishing a basin‐wide, water‐right trading system at the macro‐level, and the setting up of a villager‐participant water management system at the micro‐community level
