Abstract: In September 2019, the Chinese government elevated ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River basin to a major national strategy. However, the scarcity and inequitable distribution of water resources in the basin remain a tough and urgent problem. Therefore, this study probed into the initial water rights allocation (IWRA) of Industry in the Yellow River basin driven by high-quality development. First, based on the status quo of water resources in the basin, this study proposed principles of IWRA of Industry were total quantity control, safeguard, fairness, and efficiency. Next, the paper set the Industry water priority based on the configuration rules, constructed a goal programming model for IWRA of Industry, anticipated the ideal value via the gray model(1,1)(GM (1,1)), and suggested IWRA for end-users through both quota method and water-demand proportion. Last, this study calculated that the initial water rights (IWR) for Hetao Irrigation District in Bayannur city of Inner Mongolia should be 4.38 billion m3. Theories and methods put forward in this paper helps enhance water resources management and improve the high-quality development of the Yellow River basin.
