Recent Development of Small-scale River Basin Organizations in China and their Legal Framework
China is testing new models for integrated river basin management in response to the serious water management issues on many of its rivers. A common feature of these models is to promote enhanced cooperation and coordination between sectors or between administrative units to address either serious water shortage or serious water pollution. Three river basin management models have been identified. The first model addresses inter-provincial cooperation within the Heihe Sub-basin, an inland rive bordering the Yellow River Basin, authorised through the State Council and the Yellow River Water Conservancy Commission. The second concerns intra-provincial river basins authorised by the people s congress or provincial governments under the 2002 Water Law, for instance Talimu (Tarim) , Shule and Shiyang River Basins in northwest China. The third model comprises river basin organisations on tributaries of the Pearl River authorised by the Guangdong provincial government, but overlapping with the authority of the Pearl River Water Resources Commission. The research was carried out by the EU China River Basin Management Programme in preparation of support to river basin management in the Chi Shui River, a tributary of the Yangtze River.
