The stakeholders and local governments are fully aware of the challenges and are committed to achieving a solution through integrated water resource management (IWRD). The concept and the application of IWRD for rural China are reviewed and analyzed, and a framework for implementation of IWRD in China is developed. It is concluded that the keys to successful implementation of the approach will depend on optimal arrangement of institutions, policy reforms, community involvement and capacity building in water sector, which need to fully integrate various management functions within the watershed.
