Reviving Lakes and Wetlands in the People's Republic of China, Volume 2: Lessons Learned on Integrated Water Pollution Control from Chao Lake Basin
Asian Development Bank | October 2015
Abstract
This publication continues the Asian Development Bank’s analysis of lake and wetland rehabilitation in the
People’s Republic of China. It examines how the current situation in the Chao Lake Basin compares with
international thinking on the conditions necessary for sustainable management of lake basins. The analysis
highlights that the creation of the Chao Lake Management Authority (CLMA) and the formulation of the
master plan do not mean the problem has been solved, only that the basic framework for solving the problem
has been created. Building CLMA capacity, focusing more on managing agricultural pollution, introducing
incentives to change farmer behavior, and updating the master plan to ensure its relevance are four key
actions for the government to undertake in the coming years, if not decades.
