Abstract: Dujiangyan Water Resources project,constructed in 256 B.C,is one of the oldest water resources projects which are still functional in the world.Recently,due to lack of maintenance of project's infrastructure,deterioration of the ecological environment and excessive industrial and agricultural expansions in its surrounding areas,the existing traditional water resources development model can no longer be able to adapt to the current and future demands of Dujiangyan irrigation area.Therefore,under the guidance of sustainable development principles and with a clear objective and a complete framework in mind,a new strategic framework for Dujiangyan water resources development is presented,together with its associated enforcement measures and an evaluation system,to push Dujiangyan Irrigation Area's progress toward sustainable development.
