Background Water has the distinctive characteristics of the valley to valley as a unit of

water resources management is the current international common practice.

To achieve by watershed management, all using a variety of watershed

management system, the establishment of the different watershed management

organizations. China's water resources in the basin management has been active in

the exploration and practice, and has achieved good results.

Watershed management agencies have under gone several adjustments

and changes with functions continuously consolidated.

China's high-speed economic and social development, faces the current

water management with a tremendous challenge.

To achieve the sustainable use of water resources to support sustainable

economic and social development, need for integrated water resources and

watershed management; To achieve integrated watershed management, must

establish a scientific watershed management system.

1, integrated watershed management From the valley of natural, economic and social relations between the intrinsic, analysis

and understanding within the watershed between the constituent elements of the link,

Integrated basin water management objectives.

Basin within different administrative regions and cutting accros the different sectors,

water resources departments in the development, utilization, protection, obeying

integrated watershed management objectives.

To achieve integrated watershed management should aim to create a scientific and

democratic consultation, effective water management system.

Parties in the establishment of basin stakeholders exchange, consultation and

coordination platform for decision-making mechanism.

And the establishment of integrated watershed management system and mechanisms

that suit the integrated watershed management organizations.

With the corresponding information technology and legal support, funding.

2, the Yangtze River basin management objectives and tasks as well as the wider economic and social sustainable development.

1. Management Objectives The aim for Yangtze River Basin Integrated Management is the river basin as the basic unit for

water resource management at the core. The protection of the ecological environment led to the

scientific development concept to guide the work of watershed management, administrative, legal,

economics and Technology in a comprehensive way, and coordinated so that the socio-economic

development of watershed and water resources, water environment carrying capacity are

compatible; comprehensive development, utilization and protection of water, land, biological

resources, the comprehensive construction of water conservation, pollution prevention and

environmental-friendly society, ensure the safety of flood control basins, water safety and the

safety of the environment; to maintain the health of the Yangtze River, the water for human

harmony, Basin achieve economic and social and ecological environment comprehensive,

coordinated and sustainable development.

1. Evaluation of the existing management system 　

　　　　 2002 Amendment to the "water Law", water rights, Basin water resources

management and administration of combining regional management

system, This is draws on decades of practice and experience in the

management of water resources, but also the international advanced

management experiences draw is a scientific system.

Watershed management and administrative areas of water resources

management is to adapt to the characteristics of two management methods,

and both are equally important and must not replace each other.

2. Problems

CWRC

Water management fragmented, multi-water management, with no mutual

communication, the basis of dialogue and platform no link to a link to coordinate,

splashing through the decision-making watershed affairs of the parties to a conflict of

interest, Therefore it will be impossible to achieve the entire valley to maximize the

benefits.

"Watershed

Management" merely

Basin water "industries

(sector)" management is

not on the integrated

management of water

resources.

Whether as watershed

management agencies of the

Yangtze River Water

Resources Committee, or the

basin water levels within the

executive bodies, only from

the department, The duties

of the region are starting in

water management.

Yangtze River Water Conservancy

Committee is not a member of the

Committee, Watershed management in

more decision-making to the

government is playing a "staff

functions," and the commitment of the

administrative licensing of water,

equivalent to a water administration

departments of the role.

4, the Yangtze River Basin Integrated Management System concept 1. Experts suggest

Quasi-market and political democracy to replace water management consultations acts of

the government and mandatory plans (Hu Angang).

Watershed management should be the unified management of water resources, under the

premise of the establishment of the government's macro-regulation and control, watershed

democratic consultation, Quasi-market operations and water users in the management of

the operation mode (Wang Sucheng – Minister MWR).

Establish as soon as possible the integration of the Yangtze River water resources

management system, accelerating the Yangtze River Basin water resources management

system. Realizing the Yangtze River basin water management integration. Consideration

may be given to the Yangtze River Water Conservancy Committee to the Yangtze River

Basin Commission on Sustainable Development (or Yangtze River Management Committee),

Central lead, which is participation of the provinces and municipalities, in charge of the

Yangtze River Basin water resources planning, flood and drought, water distribution,

Comprehensive development and utilization of water security, pollution control and so on

all issues, so as to reverse the current fragmentation, fragmented and overlapping

management and lack of co-ordination between the situation (in 2003, the democratic

parties).

CWRC

Experts suggest

Submitted to the State Council's "Water Act (the draft for review)," "Article 10" that countries

in key rivers lakes could be established by the State Council departments, The provincial

people's governments and watershed management agencies responsible member Basin

Management Committee, is responsible for coordinating the development of watershed

management solution of the major problems of supervision, inspection Basin water resources.

and the exercise of the State Council granted the other functions, its offices located in

catchment management agencies (in November 2001. MEW).

To gradually establish a unified and coordinated the integrated watershed management

system. Watershed management system overall direction is the establishment of various

stakeholders participatory democracy, coordination, authority, Efficient watershed

management committee system. Taking into account the Yangtze River basin in the country's

important status, the State Council proposed the establishment of the Yangtze River Basin

Management Committee, by the State Council as director of the competent leadership to unify

and coordinate the inter-departmental and inter-basin Administrative Region of the major

issues, under watershed management, for specific watershed management services (April 2007

the second session of the Yangtze River Forum summit meeting Sun Honglie Sciences).

To achieve integrated watershed management,

we must build integrated watershed management

system, must be integrated watershed

management and line organizations.

The establishment of a comprehensive

watershed management committee envisaged by

the widespread concern in society, and the

practice of a series of useful exploration.

CWRC

Exploration and thinking 2

In the Yangtze River basin, localities and governments at all levels have set up water distribution, water vigorously promote integration, is a positive act.

The national organizations sequence: watershed management agencies can not become an independent administrative level, though the establishment of a genuine sense of Basin Commission is totally feasible.

Watershed Committee of the composition and functions of the special needs of the legal mandate, it is precisely because of the special nature of the characteristics of water.

Other industries question why they should not have similar integrated functions but Water Resources is different to other industries.

CWRC

Exploration and thinking 3In Europe and the Americas, Watershed Management Committee to effective decision-making and implementation of watershed management matters, in addition to state laws mandate, There is an important point for the watershed management, protection and management of the funds generated in the basic basin.

China has long been a major rivers of funds for the development of governance mainly from the central government, in which the investment system, impossible to establish autonomous decision-making and coordinating the watershed task management system.

With the Yangtze River basin management, protection and development of management tasks and promote the continuous development of watershed change in the investment structure, Valley makes it possible to make decisions on their own.

• The central policy adjustments, the Yangtze River basin management, protection and management of funds to be raised through the following measures :

Will be included in the Yangtze River Three Gorges Project Corporation watershed management agencies, its operating income for the valley.

water resources fees. Bonds issued for financing stakeholders (business and

personal) financial support. insurance companies to

cooperate with flood disaster insurance.
