Abstract: For a long time,the integrity of watersheds and the fragmentation of authority have resulted in high cost of water resources governance in China’s watersheds.The transition to network governance has become a hot topic of watershed research in recent years,and a broad consensus has been formed.Compared with the three traditional schemes proposed by western scholars,the RNAO(Restricted Network Administration Organization)network structure focusing on coordination strategies is more in line with the practical needs of localization of water resources governance in the watersheds.A more general governance theory for RNAO is the direction of its theoretical development.First,this paper sorts out the triple advanced logic of the “traditional-network-hypernetwork” process of water resources governance of watershed research.Secondly,it integrates RNAO and “social-ecological” system theory,innovatively proposes an “RNAO-ecological” scale matched watershed hypernetwork governance mode,and analyzes the complex interaction mechanism of the three-layer sub-network of “organization network,behavior network,and ecological network” in detail,thus initially forming a general theoretical construction of RNAO.Finally,according to the two cases of “united river chief system” and “water resource governance of Heihe watershed”,this paper analyzes the application of RNAO and “RNAO-ecology” system in China’s watershed governance practice and gives relevant policy suggestions and possible academic topics for the future network transformation of watershed governance.

Key words: Water resources in watersheds, Network governance, Hypernetwork complex structure, RNAO, “Social-ecological” system
