摘要

Lying in the south of the Changjiang delta with favorable geographical position along the middle sector of eastern coast, the Qiantang Estuary is among the areas with the higher standard of urbanization and faster speed of economic and social development. Hence, strengthening the management in this area is of great importance for sustainable development of Zhejiang Province as well as the Changjiang delta. This essay is intended to analyze the current management systems of the Qiantang Estuary and summarize the experience and problems existing in the management in recent decades. From evolution of management in history and present reality, this essay provides the following ideas on new management systems: 1. Put the unified management into practice and make the two types of relations clear, i.e., longitudinal relation (relation between special managerial organs and regional administrative departments in charge of water conservancy) and horizontal relation (relation between water conservancy organs and other departments). 2. Set up the Qiantang Valley Management Committee. 3. Give full play to the function of special management organs. 4. Strengthen legal system and promote administration in accordance with laws. 5. Carry forward modem management modes featuring science, law and modernization of management methods.
