It is not possible to report, report late, misstatement, conceal information on hydrological monitoring and to refrain from countering hydrological monitoring information.

Article 14. Specific technical equipment and measurements used for hydrological water monitoring should be determined by law.

Article 15. Hydrographic institutions should strengthen water availability, water quality monitoring in water functional areas and sources of drinking water, detect changes in water quality, water quality, etc. that may endanger water safety, or may occur as a result of sudden-on-scale water pollution incidents, should follow up monitoring and investigation and, in a timely manner, monitor, investigate and report to the people and their water administration authorities, environmental protection administration authorities.

Article 16 of the Government's water administration authorities at the district level should organize the approval of hydrological institutions for the innerability of water functional areas and draw the advice of the Water Administration to the same level of environmental protection administration.

Article 17 Hydrographic institutions should establish emergency monitoring mechanisms for the pollution of sudden-on-scale water and accelerate capacity-building for hydrology, water resources automatic monitoring, trajectory and rapid response.

Article 18

Significant flood information forecasts and drought situation analysis forecasts were issued by the local people's Government in the tropolitan-resistant drought command institutions at the district level; other hydro-information forecasts and drought analysis forecasts were issued by the local people's Government in the tropolitan areas, water administration authorities or hydrological institutions. Other units and individuals shall not issue hydrological information forecasts to society. The media, such as radio, television, newspapers and networks, should be broadcast in society in a timely manner, publish hydrological information forecasts, and indicate the name and timing of the institution.

Article 19 Basic hydrological stations and specialized hydrology stations with hydrological intelligence missions should be provided with information on hydrological information in a timely and accurate manner to the local people's Government of the tropolitan-resistant drought command and hydrological institutions at the district level. The water-related engineering units should provide information on the operation of the water work.

Article 20, the electricity sector, the communications management and radio management should guarantee access to hydrology, wireless and cable communications lines. The unwarranted channels used by hydrological institutions are exempted from payment.
