Each of the chapters presented in this
report is based on a series of 15 thematic reports. They
provided the basis for the joint identification of key
priority reforms by the World Bank and China that were
bought together and published in an accompanying Synthesis
Report. Topics included: (1) overview of water governance in
China; (2) evaluation of China’s water security status and
issues; (3) advancing water quality markets in China; (4)
macro-economic impacts of water scarcity and redlines in
China; (5) re-examining the Three Red Lines Policy; (6)
water rights verifications and transactions; (7) best
practices in cost-benefit analysis for water investments;
(8) water prices, taxes, and fees; (9) flood risk management
and protection; (10) ecology compensation and governance;
(11) legal reform for water governance; (12) China’s water
management administrative system and its reform; (13)
technical innovation and development of an information
platform in China; (14) Public Private Partnerships and
water governance in China; (15) summary and overall design
of China’s water governance system. These discussions
emphasized key issues for water governance in China,
including the need for a stronger legislative foundation for
water governance; enhanced basin-scale governance
institutions; harmonization of existing policy tools, such
as water permits and water rights; better information and
data-sharing; and the need to promote ecosystem resilience.
Based on these consultations and discussions, a final set of
15 key recommendations have been put forward. These
recommendations form the core of the accompanying Synthesis
Report. Each priority area is the subject of a separate
chapter focusing on the rationale for each of the policy
recommendations, drawing on research completed by each study team. |
