Efficient Water Use

Water resources management requires an interdisciplinary approach to meet the challenges posed by ever increasing water demand and pollution. This paper discusses in which way appropriate institutional arrangements are complementary to technical interventions that aim to increase more efficient water use and allocation. Specific emphasis is given to water property rights as one of the determining factors in regard to the institutional framework. Issues such as the range of flexibility in designing property rights to water, the implications for pricing, enforcement and sanctioning mechanisms as well as for water trading and information needs are highlighted.

The Decision of Constitutional Court No.85/PUU-XI/2013 (The Decision of CC 2013) has canceled Law No. 7 Year 2004 on Water Resources (Law on WR 2014). The cancellation is a new hope for improving the management of water resources. During the implementation of Law WR 2004, there is mismanagement in the provision of drinking water. This paper has two focus issues, namely: first, how the low responsibility of the state for managing water resources impacts the fulfillment of drinking water for the citizens? Second, how are the improvements of water resources management expected to be realized through the Decision of CC 2013? From the discussion, the author has two conclusions. First, the negligence of the state caused that the role of the state in providing drinking water for the citizens was  lost by the role of private sector. For example, a year before judicial review (2012), the number of consumers of drinking water supplied by the national sector in in the counting unit of household level is only the part of 11.79 percent. The number was lost by the supply of private sector covering 38.85 percent of households nationally. Second, the Decision of CC 2013 brings a new hope. Some basic thought are the improvement of state’s responsibility for managing water resources, termination  on the private’s monopoly and termination on commercialization of water value.

Abstract Water is essential to man’s life, nature and economy and has a fundamental role in the climate regulation cycle. It is a resource that is continually regenerating, but is at the same time finite and cannot be produced or replaced by other resources. Nothing is possible without water, this resource being the heart of human and economic development. That is why water is an essential factor for the existence of life and the development of human society. Rapid urbanization, the global demographic explosion and climate change have led to water quality degradation and have become acute pressures on water resources, which has led to concern for water protection. Water is the common denominator that links all areas of activity, and these actions have the role of encouraging a better understanding of the need for water use and management in a more responsible manner.

Formulating and implementing river basin water resources allocation scheme is one of the most crucial measures to promote orderly development, efficient utilization and management, reasonable allocation of water resources. Clarifying water share for each region in a river basin and perfecting water resources allocation system can effectively contribute to achieve the social stability, eliminate the water use contradiction among different regions, realize sustainable water resources utilization and eco-social development, guarantee environment flow. It also conforms to the strictest water resources management system proposed and carried out at present of China. In order to make the readers better understand water allocation done or being done in China, river basin water resources allocation practice was summarized in this study. Institutional arrangements related to water resources allocation in China was also been summed up.
