China Water Sector Briefing Note Series(available in PDF format both English and Chinese) This is a set of thirteen Briefing Notes describing different aspects of IWRM and the more specific experiences of a recent project, namely the Water Sector Development Project (WSDP), that attempted to pilot different approaches to IWRM in four Chinese provinces. The project began in 2001 and was a technical cooperation project between the British Government's Department for International Development (DFID) and the Chinese Ministry of Water Resources (MWR). The project was restructured and has gone on to successfully develop models for participatory approaches to community managed rural water supply schemes. The purpose of the Briefing Notes is to provide a concise introduction to current knowledge and policy on various aspects of IWRM. To attempt to summarise several lessons learned from the WSDP, and to help disseminate knowledge gained from the project. They are intended for decision makers and graduates who are working in the water sector who have some knowledge or experience in the subject or discipline related to individual Briefing Notes. Each Briefing Note sets out the general theoretical basis of a topic, compares the WSDP Phase I project experience to the theory, and then gives lessons for similar projects. Experiences from Phase 2 of the project are consolidated into a series of manuals for developing and supporting community-based management of rural water supply schemes.
