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.
