Mooyoung - many countries have systems in place which do exactly what you propose. In my own (UK) water is a national resource which is managed centrally by the Environment Agency. Contrast this with the free-for-all in the US where the EA has very limited powers and water rights are like land ownership. You can find my water related papers - many on the subject of 'asset management' here: https://felixschrodinger.wordpress.com/category/water-2/
