A New Approach

Welcome to the home page of the US - China Water Resource Management Program. Through this program, we hope to develop a coordinated, sustainable water resource management program between the United States and China in four activities:

1. Coordination of U.S. and China participants in the identification of common problems associated with water resources.
   
   
2. Implementation of the recommendations of the April, 1999 bilateral water resources management workshop to compare approaches to water resources management issues. Participants in the workshop identified and prioritized key areas where ongoing cooperation can lead to significant improvement in global water resources management.
   
   
3. Development and implementation of a joint program for cooperative water resources management activities, including jointly funded research on broad water resource issues and energy projects to demonstrate application of selected technical approaches.
   
   
4. Joint involvement of the private sector and the international financial community to facilitate application of technological innovations in water resources management for the benefit of both the U.S. and China.
