2.3.3 Timing
Timing in water resources management refers to the temporal aspect of the management system, which includes the medium and long term (20 years in the future), the
near term (10 years in the future), and the present or current year.
In the water resources management framework of China, the systems related to
the medium- and long-term issues include the medium- and long-term water supply
and demand plan. Near-term water issues are managed by the systems for water
resources allocation, water resources justification, water function zoning, groundwater management, quota management, total pollutant discharge volume control,
discharge outlets into water bodies, water abstraction permits, and water resources
