China's draft Water Law was submitted for third reading at the 25th meeting of the 14th NPC Standing Committee on Nov. 2. The third-reading draft adds language targeting the comprehensive enhancement of water-security capacity and accelerating construction of a national water network described as “system-complete, safe and reliable, intensive and efficient, green and intelligent, with smooth circulation and orderly regulation." The draft also tightens water-resource planning rules, requiring plans to “coordinate domestic, production and ecological water use,” establish public-participation and expert-consultation mechanisms, and employ modern information technologies to raise planning quality.
