The Government of the people at the district level should incorporate the cause of hydrology into national economic and social development planning, accelerate the construction of hydrological modernization and guarantee the development of hydrological and economic societies.

The Provincial Government should include the requirements for hydrology in the provincial fiscal budget. The Government of the city (States, land) and the provincial-level people's governments should arrange some funding for hydrological work for local economic construction and social development services.

Article IV is the responsibility of the Provincial Government's water administration authorities for the entire province's hydrological work, with its immediate hydrological body responsible for organizing management.

The hydrological institutions in the city (State, land, district, district) are specifically responsible for the management of hydrology within the present administration, under the leadership of the parent hydrological institutions and the same-level people.

Other relevant sectors of the people's government at the district level should be responsible for the management of hydrology in accordance with their respective responsibilities.

Article 5 Hydrographic institutions should provide hydrological services for local economic construction and social development, increase service projects, expand services and improve the quality of services.

The Government of the above-mentioned population at the district level and its relevant departments should include the construction and rehabilitation of hydrological monitoring facilities when planning for the use of water resources. In carrying out the planning and design of river water projects, the establishment of units shall seek advice from hydrological institutions in accordance with the management authority.

Article 7. The construction of the entire provincial hydrology network should be harmonized, consistent with the integration of watersheds with the region, regional adherence to watersheds, the rational, functional integrity, effective use of the current and long-term needs, and implemented in accordance with the national fixed asset investment project construction process.

Article 8. Hydrographic stations are divided into national basic hydrological stations and specialized hydrology stations.

The State's basic hydrology stations within the province are constructed by provincial hydrological institutions based on hydrological development planning, and management is organized.

Small (i) above, hydroelectric plants should be established or dedicated hydrology stations; small (ii) hydrates, hydropower stations with no-hazard functions should be established. The automated monitoring point should be accompanied by a drought-resistant command system.

Article 9 requires the addition of specialized monitoring projects at the national basic hydrology stations, at the request of the use of information units, to be implemented by the provincial hydrological institutions. Costs such as basic construction inputs, operation management, maintenance of instruments and equipment are borne by the use of information units.

Article 10. Water, rainfall, water condition monitoring stations established by hydrological institutions can be delegated to other units or individuals.

Article 11. Hydrographic institutions should conduct dynamic monitoring and evaluation of water bodies such as rivers, lakes, water banks and water sources.

More than the people at the district level should issue hydrowater information to the community in accordance with the terms of reference.

Article 12 Hydrographic institutions in the province should establish a national hydrological database in the provinces of Honour, which will synthesize and manage hydrological monitoring information.

Monitoring information transmitted to hydrological institutions shall be complete, reliable and consistent, in accordance with the information management authority. The management approach to hydrological monitoring information is developed by the provincial hydrological institutions.

Article 13. The hydrological monitoring information based on the following activities shall be reviewed by provincial hydrological bodies and the applicant shall submit a request for a review of hydrological monitoring information to the provincial hydrological bodies:

(i) The production of hydrological monitoring materials based on provincial rivers, cross-markets (states, land) water resource planning;

(ii) The hydrological monitoring information on the basis of the national and provincial priorities for the construction of the project's water resource logic, the conduct of the flood impact evaluation;

(iii) The production of hydrological monitoring materials based on water allocation programmes, water resources evaluation;

(iv) Laws, regulations stipulate that other hydrological monitoring information should be reviewed by provincial hydrological bodies.

Non-reviewed hydrological monitoring information should not be used as a basis for engineering planning and design.

Article 14. Provincial hydrological institutions shall review hydrological monitoring information within 20 days of the date of receipt of the request for a review of hydrological monitoring and make written decisions. The decision to grant the use is in accordance with the conditions; the decision to prohibit the use and the reasons for writing.

Article 15 units engaged in the evaluation of hydrology, water resources should be able to gain the quality of the country's mandated hydrological, water resources survey and work in accordance with the scope established by the award.

The provincial rivers, cross-markets (states, land) rivers or cross-provincial hydrology, water resource survey evaluation should be undertaken by units with high-level hydrology, water resource survey evaluation qualifications, and other hydrological, water resource survey evaluation evaluations should be carried out by hydrology units with higher than tiers.

Professional technicians engaged in the assessment of hydrology, water resources survey should have the qualifications of the State.

Article 16, the communications sector and the radio administration should work in coordination with hydrological institutions to ensure the accessibility of hydro-communication networks and the accurate and timely delivery of hydrological information.

In the case of road, bridges to carry out hydro-hydro monitoring operations, hydrological institutions should be supported by transport, public safety and transport management, with the consent of the transport and public safety authorities.

Article 17, Public interest building, such as hydrological monitoring facilities and the ombudsman base, should be supported by the local and sectoral authorities, which are required by law by local units and are processed for clearance.

Article 18

(i) The range of protections in the hydrological basic bathymetry, the 500,000 rivers and hydrological measurements of the two shores of the rivers, the area of 20 metres outside the established buildings of the two shores of the rivers; the area between the unleashed hydro basic measurements, the downstream of 500 metre rivers and the design of flood areas between the two sides;

(ii) The scope of the protection of hydrological metric facilities is 10 metres around hydrology measurement facilities, and the range of protection of hydrological observation sites is 20 metres around observation sites.

Any unit and individual have the obligation to protect the environment and facilities.

Article 19 builds on the construction of works within the context of hydrological monitoring of environmental protection or constructs at its downstream, affecting the hydrological monitoring environment and should take the appropriate remedies. With regard to the impact of the State's important hydrology stations, construction units should be submitted in advance to the provincial Government's water administration authorities in accordance with the relevant provisions; affect the State's general hydrology stations; construction units should obtain prior consent from the provincial government water administration authorities. This will require the alteration of the hydrology station monitoring facility, which is assumed by the Provincial Hydrographic Agency in accordance with the standards for the construction of hydrological facilities.

No units or individuals shall be intrusive of hydrological monitoring facilities, observation sites, observation signs, specialized roads, electricity lines, equipment, inspection of ship terminals, observation of wells, communications facilities for the transmission of hydrological information, and shall not interfere with hydrological monitoring.

Article 21 is to be dismantled by provincial hydrological institutions in accordance with the criteria for the construction of hydrological facilities, as a result of major engineering construction needs. The cost is borne by the construction unit.

In violation of this approach, the production unit did not seek advice from hydrological institutions in accordance with the management authority, and was warned by the territorial Government's water administration authorities over the district level to correct the deadlines; and was later uncorrected, with a fine of over 3,000 dollars.

Article 23, in violation of this approach, provides that one of the following acts is warned by the water administration authorities of the people at the district level to stop the offence and to impose a fine of up to 30,000 dollars:

(i) To deny access to hydrological monitoring information;

(ii) Transmit false hydrological monitoring information;

(iii) Use of non-reviewed hydrological monitoring information.
