(December 5, 2007 the Ministry of water resources, the 32nd released as of February 1, 2008) article for the implementation of water allocation, for optimization of water resources allocation, rational exploitation, utilization and conservation and protection of water resources, in accordance with the People's Republic of China water law, these measures are formulated.
    Second water allocation of the available water resources total amount or allocation of water allocated to administrative region step by step, determine the administrative, production and water consumption in the share or share water water withdrawal (hereinafter referred to as water share). Total available water resources including surface water resources available groundwater resources and exploitable volume, excluding both the duplication of.
    Surface water resources can using volume is refers to in protection ecological and environment and water resources can continued using of premise Xia, through economic reasonable, and technology feasible of measures, in local surface water resources in the can for River outside consumption using of maximum water; groundwater resources can mining volume is refers to in can foreseen of period within, through economic reasonable, and technology feasible of measures, in not caused ecological and environment deterioration of conditions Xia, to chisel well of way from underground aquifer in the gets of can continued using of water.
    Can distribution of water is refers to in water resources utilization degree has is high or water resources rich of basin and administrative or flow conditions complex of River area and other not for to water resources can using total for water distribution of basin and administrative, according to convenient management, and conducive to operation and water resources save and protection, and supply and demand coordination of principles, and Manpower consider life, and production and ecological and environment water, determine of for distribution of water.

    Sixth water allocation should be based on integrated water resource planning. Have not yet developed integrated planning of water resources, can survey of water resources and its exploitation and utilization in evaluation, based on the analysis and prediction of water supply and demand balance of supply and demand, water distribution pilot project. Rivers across provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the pilot programme, reviewed by the river basin authorities, reported to the Ministry of water resources approved of rivers within the provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the pilot programme, after examination by the river basin authorities, approved by the water conservancy administrative departments at the provincial level.

    Seventh of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities announced industry water quota is an important basis for the administrative implementation of water allocation.
    River basin management in basin water allocation plans are drawn up, can be combined with basins and administrative areas of the actual technical and economic conditions of water, considered advanced and reasonable level of water consumption in the reference basin water quota standard of the relevant province, autonomous region, watershed coordination and balance, and the relevant province, autonomous region, municipality directly negotiated administrative regions accounting for share of water indicators. Eighth article in order to meet future water demand and water demand of national development strategy, and administrative areas of the watershed or water resources, water allocation plan consultation with relevant Administrative Region Government set aside a certain amount of shares.

    Tenth water allocation plans includes the following main elements: (a) the administrative area of river basins or total available water resources or water distribution.
    (B) the administrative share of the water and the River, reservoirs, lakes, and groundwater.
