Water Resources Management in the
People's Republic of China
Chinese water resource managers face a challenge that is both immense and unique. They must balance limited water supplies against the needs of the world's largest population; demands for rapid economic growth with calls for improved environmental management; and the desire for a market-based approach to the allocation of water with a history of State ownership and strict government control of all resources.
This book describes the development of a water rights system in the People's Republic of China. It covers different aspects of water resources management in China including water planning, the provision of environmental flows, urban water management, and irrigation district management and examines how these are being addressed through a rights-based approach. The book includes several detailed examples of the Chinese application of water rights as they address the diverse challenges of different basins across China.
This book previously appeared as a special issue of the International Journal of Water Resources Development.
Sun Xuetao is the Director-General of the Department of Water Resources, Ministry of Water Resources, People's Republic of China. In that role, he leads the formulation and implementation of China's policies for water resources management.
Robert Speed is a water policy consultant from Brisbane, Australia and was the Australian Team Leader on the China Water Entitlements and Trading project from 2006-8. Robert has held senior positions in the Water Reform Unit of the Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Water and was involved in the development and implementation of the Australian water sector reforms.
