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. In China, changes are
occurring in water resources management that are representative of
many of the fundamental changes occurring within Chinese society,
on issues such as property rights, community participation,
improved environmental management, and the shift towards
market-based decision making. 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.
