Yufei, Pu ; Xueying, Zhang ; Min, Liu ; Rui, | Zhao ; Lei, Sheng
This report starts with a historical review of water resources management in China and then summarizes the legal system for public participation and policy evolution in water resources administrative department. Based on experiences and case studies, the report analyzes public participation practices in water resources management in China and puts forward the revised Vroom-Yetteon model for public participation options. The report suggests that the main issues of public participation in water resources management in China are as follows: first, the administrative department makes insufficient analysis on applicability of public participation options. Second, public participation options are restrained by various factors when put into practice. These issues make the effects of public participation in water resources management deviate from the public's expectation. More common understandings could be reached between the general public and the water resources administrative department by further improving policies and regulations, enhancing propaganda and education, fully exploring public participation options, making good use of the third party and strengthening self-restraint. Therefore, it is expected that the Chinese government will achieve more in improving water resources management efficiency and promoting sustainable development of water resources.
