Article 335 Rural water supplies should be integrated in the planning of surface water and groundwater sources, with priority being given to the development of surface water sources.

Rural water supply systems are implemented. The watershed area that concentrates on water supply works is defined by the commune people's government, which is approved by the provincial people's Government and clearly protects the responsible units or the responsible person. The demarcation of the water resource area across the district level is agreed by the relevant communes' governments, with the approval of the provincial government.

The watershed area that concentrates water supplies is classified according to the following criteria:

(i) Water-water water sources in general rivers, which are not less than 1,000 m to less than 100 metres of water in water access sites; water protected areas do not reach less than 100 metres above water from 2000 to less than 100 metres below the water point;

(ii) Water water sources in water banks, lakes and ponds should be transferred to watershed areas, depending on the needs of different circumstances;

(iii) Water-water and spring water sources are not less than 100 metres around water access points.

Water-water watershed protected areas, such as water drilling, are not less than 30 metres around water access.

The Government of the population at the district level should establish a watershed protection mark to inform the scope of protection and the prohibition of matters, as well as to plant trees within the context of water resources, which would cover water sources.

In the course of geological drilling, protective measures must be taken to end water, seal and prevent contamination of groundwater sources.

Article 37 Water supply units should establish water purification facilities, use water security products and poisoning products consistent with national standards, establish a sound water quality testing system to ensure that water quality is in line with national standards for water sanitation.

The water supply units should conduct water quality testing, such as water water, pipe water, user terminal water, and report on the results to the district-level government water administration authorities and the health administration authorities.

Water units that do not have water quality testing capacity should be delegated to agencies with corresponding qualifications to conduct regular inspections.

Article 338 The Government's water administration authorities should organize the preparation of a rural water supply emergency response case, which should establish a security emergency response for water supply in this unit and report on local water administration authorities, prevent and reduce the damage caused by sudden water supply accidents and guarantee water security.

As a result of water contamination or other sudden water supply accidents, water-quality contamination should be launched immediately, emergency response measures should be taken and reported to the population at the district level of the accident.

Article 39 of the rural public water source is damaged or contaminated by water quality, and should be compensated by law in accordance with the principles of who destroys, rehabilitates and who is contaminated, who governs.
