Development of Integrated Drinking Water Source Protection in China

摘要

With the living level of people has been greatly improvement, the safe of drinking water has become more and more taking into count. This paper examines the proposed approach to the planning and management of drinking water source protection. An institutional arrangement framework is used to facilitate comparison of the two initiatives with information coming from both analysis of policies and practices. The analysis reveals that source water protection largely occurred outside of the long-standing watershed planning process in China. Local involvement, a flexible approach, and linking the process of implementation to other land management initiatives are opportunities to realize synergies within the multi-barrier approach.
