Abstract:
Development of an effective inter-governmental horizontal cooperative mechanism is an important solution to improve the trans-boundary water environment management in China. Much efforts has been performed and desired results have been achieved in the international trans-boundary water co-management, cooperation among different ministries in China, trans-boundary water cooperation among local governments, and departmental cooperation inside one government. At present, the horizontal cooperation among governments is carried out through the agreements, planning, joint action, and joint conference, and these methods generally involve different departments of the government. The content of the cooperation includes the law, policy, institution, and information sharing, monitoring and assessment. However, due to the existing problems in the law, cooperative mechanism, and technical support, the inter-governmental horizontal cooperative mechanism did not act significantly effectively in China and the contamination in trans-boundary surface water is still severe. Therefore, several countermeasures were proposed in this paper, including the improvement of system and structure of the cooperative mechanism, strengthening of the core content of cooperative mechanism, enrichment of realization solutions of cooperative mechanism, and improvement of the secure conditions of cooperative mechanism.
