Objectives
The activity is envisaged to aim at strengthening local capacities for managing water scarcity threats in Chinese inland river basins, using the example of Shule and Shiyang River Basins in Gansu Province. It will build on previous interventions by the World Bank and the UK Department for International development DFID. It has the potential to assist in local water resources master planning, replication of successful pilot experiences and contribution to the national policy formulation related to inland basin management.
