This report examines China's development plans for seven main river basins and discusses the tremendous problems the country faces in scaling down water projects to match reduced funding. It also reviews the need to link water development to changes in the macroeconomy and the management of water institutions. Water management specialists describe the benefits of an integrated system for developing river basins and suggest changes in China's water policies. They recommend actions to improve river basin commissions, make management more efficient, create a cost recovery system, enforce higher environmental standards, and provide resettlement and job training.Aryeetey, Ernest is the author of 'Supply and Demand for Finance of Small Enterprises in Ghana' with ISBN 9780821329641 and ISBN 0821329642.
