Policy context
• Basin master plans
• 1950s-60s – flood & drought control
• 1980s – water resources development
• Now – “harmonious development”
• No. 1 Policy, 2011“The
Decision on Accelerating
the Reform and
Development of Water
Conservancy”
• Budget for water
management doubled
(>USD 600 bn over next
ten years)
Project aims & scope
To support:
- Revision of water management frameworks & plans in
China
- Strategic & integrated approaches globally
Two phases:
- 2009-12: River basin planning, Flood risk management,
Basin water allocation planning
- 2012-15: Drought risk management, River restoration

River restoration plans
Water resources development and operation plans
Water quality protection plans
Water allocation plans
Flood risk management plans
• Water quality at level to support restoration objectives• Restore rivers to protect/improve water quality
Wetlands, storages, and sediment/ debris management used to promote biodiversity and reduce flood risk
•Water/flows available to support restoration efforts
Infrastructure development, (or removal) and operation consistent with restoration activities
Ecological conservation plans
• Support asset prioritisation• Ensure long-term benefits from restoration are realised
River restoration plans and other thematic plans
