Water Management: Water Metering, Sludge Management, and Nonrevenue Water - the PRC Experience

Asian Development Bank | June 2014
Abstract
The People’s Republic of China over the years was able to introduce significant reforms to improve its water supply infrastructure and services. To further strengthen and expand its water management capacities, the government sought assistance from the Asian Development Bank and initiated three pilot projects that featured effective mechanisms to address the big gap between water supply and demand. This knowledge product features these pilot projects and the best practices that were adopted in Beijing and Xinjiang Altay Prefecture. It provides an overview of how these mechanisms worked to help manage and operate efficiently the water supply services in these areas.
