Access restriction includes the systems of medium- and long-term water supply
and demand planning, water resources allocation, water resources justification, water
function zoning, groundwater management, total water volume control, total pollutant discharge volume control, planned water use, managing discharge outlets into
water bodies, water abstraction permits, and quota management. The systems of
metric charging, water saving, overcharges for plan/quota-exceeding use, and water
resources fees function as internal incentives (Table 2.7).
2.3.7 Management Level
If the water abstraction permit is regarded as the dividing point, water resources
management activities can be divided into three levels: river basin and regional level
(above water abstraction permit), water abstraction permit level, and water user level
(below water abstraction level).
According to this grouping principle, the systems at the river basin and regional
level are those of medium- and long-term water supply and demand planning, water
resources allocation, water function zoning, groundwater management, total water
volume control, total pollutant discharge volume control, and planned water use
(annual water resources regulation plan).
The systems at the permit level include those for water resources justification,
planned water use (annual water abstraction plan), water abstraction permits, quota
management, metric charging, water saving, overcharges for plan/quota-exceeding
use, and water resources fees.
