water is the source of life, the most primary factor of production and the foundation of the ecosystem. china is a country of relative water shortage and frequent water hazards. with its speedy economic development, rapid urbanization and impacts of global climate change, managing, harnessing and developing its water resources is growing with time into a daunting yet significant task, for which the country has been proved to be fully capable.
the annual no. one document of the central government, which usually targets the top priorities of the country in the year, focused its attention in 2011 on accelerating water management reform and development, which marks a new era of integrated water resources management of china. the subsequent initiatives of china like the most stringent water resources management, “three red lines”, are all bold and determined endeavors of the chinese people towards better managing their water.
nhri is very much honored to have been invited by the chinese ministry of water resources to host a china session on integrated watershed management in china. come and meet china’s most experienced practitioners of integrated watershed management and let’s hear their stories.
