Article 1 strengthens water management and protection, regulates the use of watersheds and plays a functional role in water conservation, drainage, water supply, irrigation, shipping and ecological environment, guaranteeing sustainable development of the economy, in accordance with the laws, regulations and regulations of the People's Republic of China Water Law, the People's Republic of China Act on Hunger and the Water Management Regulations of the State of Broadland.

This approach is applied to the activities of construction projects in the city's administration area and their management.

Developments such as beaches and recuperation are carried out in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Synergy Management Regulations.

Article 3 construction projects should be guided by the principles of security, the protection of ecology, strict control and satisfaction.

Article IV municipalities, the people of the region should strengthen the management and protection of watersheds and take effective measures to ensure that basic water levels are not reduced in the present administration.

Article 5 municipal water administration authorities are responsible for the integrated management and protection of the waters in the city and organize this approach.

In accordance with the terms of reference, the Regional Water Administration is responsible for the harmonization of management and protection of waters within the present administration.

Development reforms, land planning, rural and urban construction, transport, ports, shipping, maritime, environmental protection, urban management, agriculture, marine fisheries, forestry parks, etc., are aligned with the management and protection of water resources in line with their respective responsibilities.

Article 6 of this approach refers to areas such as rivers, rivers, lakes, water banks, mountain ponds management, sands, beaches (including arable land), shores, etc., excluding and extracting fish ponds from the sea.

The scope of waters is defined in accordance with the following principles:

(i) The rivers, the rivers, which are located in the area between the two shores of fire protection; the no-failed rivers, the rivers, which are covered by the historical top flooding line or the design of areas below the flood line, have been delineated and their waters have been defined as the scope of the Blue Line;

(ii) Lakes with fires, which are surrounded by the slack of water; lakes with no slack of fire, have been delineated in the area below the design of the flood line or the historical top water line, and their waters have been delineated to the Blue Line;

(iii) The dam's ponds, the area under which the dam is located below the dam's top axes; the dam ponds of the dams, which are located below the historical top water line, have been delineated and their waters have been delineated as the scope of the Blue Line;

(iv) The water area of the garage is situated on the dam's top axes or areas below the land cover line.

Article 7:

(i) Rotary flooding and river influx;

(ii) More than 10,000 cubic metres;

(iii) More than 1 million square meters of lakes;

(iv) Waters in watershed areas;

(v) Waters in wind areas and natural protected areas;

(vi) Other important waters under the law, regulations.

The municipal water administration authorities should make a directory of major waters in the city's administration under the preceding paragraph and be made available to society after approval by the Government of the city.

The directory of important waters published should include the content of the name, scope, area, and main functions of the waters.

Article 8 Water administrative authorities should incorporate the protection of watersheds into integrated planning, regional integrated planning or the development of professional water conservation planning.

The content of water conservation should be based on the non-reducing of water resources in the current administrative area, including the overall watershed, the water functions and the objectives, scope, hierarchy and measures protected in watersheds, and the identification of the basic water loads in different parts of the current administrative region and in the region.

Article 9 prepares or revises plans such as urban and rural planning, land-use planning, transport planning, etc., and requires the occupation or adaptation of watersheds, which should include remedial measures in feasible water areas and seek advice from the water administration authorities.

Article 10 Water administrative authorities should establish a dynamic monitoring system for waters, conduct monitoring and evaluation of water area, size, functions, and use, and establish sound water management information systems that provide the basis for the management and protection of waters.

The situation of dynamic monitoring and evaluation in waters should be made public to society.

Article 11 construction projects should be in possession of waters and should be in line with planning and technical requirements such as water conservation, flood protection, air conditioning requirements, shoreline use, pollution control, aquaculture, and should not jeopardize the safety of the berm, affect the stability of the river, impede access to water and undermine the ecological environment.

Prohibition of the use of rivers, rivers, lakes, ponds, water garage waters as follows:

(i) Building buildings and constructions that endanger flood, water supply, water conservation, hydropower, irrigation;

(ii) Real estate and other business development construction activities.

Article 12 construction projects occupied waters and are governed by infrastructure-building projects and non-infrastructural construction projects.

Infrastructure construction projects, such as railways, airports, roads, bridges, terminals, electricity, communications, fuel, water supply, drainage and water, are generally not in possession of important water resources; and they are to be taken into account in accordance with the relevant provisions of this approach.

Non-infrastructural construction projects should not take over important waters.

Article 13, which has been approved by law for construction projects in occupied waters, should be constructed in accordance with the area, congestion and function of the occupied waters, to be replaced with functional remedies. These alternative work or functional remedies programmes should be included in the construction of construction programmes; the cost of efficient alternative water works such as construction or functional remedies should be included in the construction of project engineering estimates.

Article 14.

The construction of projects that could take advantage of the work of alternative waters, including:

(i) The construction of projects that affect flooding capacity in the water area can be restored in accordance with the principle of a greater balance;

(ii) Construction projects that have an impact on the use of water resources can restore water area in accordance with the principle of greater balance;

(iii) For construction projects that affect the ability of water pipelines, measures to reduce water areas or to increase watersheds could be used.

Article 15 functional remedies refer to the small adverse impact of construction projects on the area, congestion and function of water-occupation, compensatory engineering measures, such as the rehabilitation of hydro-facilitative works, the consolidation of waters.

The functional remedies available to construction projects in the occupied waters include:

(i) Construction projects that give rise to river nutrients could be used to increase rivers, or to reduce construction barriers to water area;

(ii) Construction projects that have an impact on the impact of the cushion could be used to increase protection measures, such as stones, escorts, etc.; construction projects that have a sludge impact could be used to develop long-lasting plans and measures and to include sludge costs in the operating management costs of the project;

(iii) Construction projects that affect the effectiveness of drainage facilities, which could be used to increase the pumping stations, drainage facilities, etc.;

(iv) For construction projects that affect water exposure, the minimization of the impact of construction projects on access to water, or the addition of compensatory measures to ensure access to water, in accordance with different water access facilities and requirements for influenza;

(v) Construction projects that affect the water environment could take measures to eliminate the impact on the functionality of the waters;

(vi) Construction projects that have an impact on the water industry can take remedial measures such as relocation and consolidation;

(vii) Construction projects that have an impact on hydrology measurement facilities can be removed from hydrology stations or increased remedies in accordance with the principle of restoring the original function of hydrology stations;

(viii) Other measures should be taken to restore or reduce the impact on the area of occupied waters.

Efficient water works, such as Article 16, should be built in line with the principle of “whatever, how much” is to be done, with their area, size and function less than the occupied waters, and their construction standards, key functions should be in line with the requirements for water resource planning and maintain the overall nature, coordination, safety, ecologicality of water systems in the occupied waters.

One of the following conditions in the construction of the project in the occupied waters should be welcomed by the construction of alternative water works:

(i) Making rivers and rivers renovated;

(ii) To cover, clean watershed;

(iii) The adverse impact on the functioning of waters goes beyond the relevant technical standards, such as the regulatory technical norm for the construction of the River project, and that functional remedies cannot be eliminated;

(iv) Other circumstances leading to a severe recession or loss of the water function.

Article 17 construction projects take over waters, and construction units, in accordance with Article 23, Article 24, Article 25, apply to the water administration authorities for the processing of the construction programme review, shall include, for example, alternative water engineering construction programmes or functional remedies programmes. The water administration authorities should organize expert arguments on the feasibility of such effective alternative water construction programmes or functional remedies programmes.

Such work-building programmes or functional remedies programmes should be developed by units with relevant qualifications, including engineering location, size, functionality, structure, engineering, engineering cost estimates, construction programmes and their effectiveness analysis.

The construction projects set out in paragraph 1 of this article are required by law to be submitted to national, provincial and territorial water administration authorities, in accordance with national, provincial and relevant laws, regulations and regulations.

The construction project occupies waters that relate to natural protected areas of water, or water-based resources protected areas, and should prepare thematic evidence reports on the impact of construction projects on protected areas and incorporate them into environmental impact evaluation reports; and project planning and approval should seek advice from the marine and fisheries administration authorities.

Article 18 requires such alternative works as construction or remedial measures, and construction units shall conduct the reporting process to the water administration authorities in accordance with the relevant provisions of the water-living engineering management.

The construction projects in Article 19 occupied waters and their location, boundaries, scales, layouts, structure and other major changes in functional remedies, which should reproduce the approval of the water administration authorities.

The construction project in the occupied waters, the construction programme of which was not constructed within three years from the date of the review of the consent by the water administration authorities, should apply for the extension process to the competent water administration authorities within 30 days of the expiration of the deadline; the decision of the extension period after the expiry of the period of the period of the period of time had not been applied, the licence would be self-exclusive and would need to be implemented and the approval process should be replicated.

Article 20, or functional remedies should be designed in parallel with construction projects, accompanied by construction and simultaneous use; in relation to rivers, rivers and severe adverse impacts on streams, drainage and flood safety, such as alternative water works should be completed and used in advance of construction projects.

Prior to the start-up of the construction project, construction units should enter into agreements with the relevant water engineering management units to clarify the construction cycle, the construction phase, the construction of the programme, the responsibility for the construction of the flood protection period, the recovery measures in the waters and the implementation assurance measures.

Functional remedies, such as Article 21, should be qualified by the administrative authorities of the water industry, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the management of water. Within the 30-day period of eligibility, construction units should transfer related works such as functional remedies to the relevant hydro-engineering units and send relevant photographs and archival information.

Article 2 construction projects are approved for occupancy in waters and should pay for the scope of river management, as prescribed, and take measures such as construction to replace water works, free of royalties for the management of rivers.

Article 23 of the water administration authorities should monitor the construction of project-occupation activities. The inspectorate or the individual shall, if any, deny or impede the supervision of the water administration authorities.

Article 24 of the water administration authorities and other relevant administrations have one of the following cases, which are redirected and criticized by an executive authority at the superior or administrative inspectorate at the highest level; in serious or grave circumstances, responsible supervisors and other responsible personnel are held accountable by their duty-free agencies or by the inspectorate, in accordance with the authority of management, which constitutes a crime punishable by law:

(i) Expropriation of the construction project in the area of water;

(ii) Non-compliance with oversight and management responsibilities by law;

(iii) Other acts of negligence, abuse of authority, favouring private fraud.

Article 25 violates Articles 13, 14, 15, 16 of this approach, and provides that construction units are not subject to the provision of efficient alternative works such as construction or functional remedies, which are converted by the water administration authorities in accordance with article 52 of the Regulations on the Management of the Municipalities of Hiroshima and can afford a fine of up to $20,000.

In violation of this approach, the construction unit of article 26 has one of the following acts, which is being responsibly corrected by the water administration authorities and a fine of over 3,000 dollars.

(i) In violation of article 20, paragraph 2, of the scheme, no agreement was reached with the relevant hydropower management units;

(ii) In violation of article 21 of this approach, such as replacement of water work or functional remedies have not been collected by the water administration authorities or have not reported to the water administration authorities the relevant paper and archival information as required.

Article 27 defines the following terms as follows:

It is occupation that construction projects account for pressure, cross-border and trans-shipment of waters, which reduces or functionally affect water area.

Mountains ponds refer to the interception and storage of local surfaces in mountain areas for agricultural irrigation or rural water supply and the accumulation of water facilities for more than 500 cubic metres and 10,000 cubic metres.

The basic water footage means a small percentage of the area of the territorial area, based on the principle that economic and social development demands multiple functional needs and technical standards, such as flooding, water use, landscape, ecological protection, within a certain regional context.

The twenty-eighth approach was implemented effective 1 August 2015.
