This Water Code establishes a comprehensive legal framework governing water management, protection, and use, emphasizing sustainable development aligned with objectives such as ensuring water provision for the population, economic sectors, and environmental systems. It underscores principles like targeted and integrated water resources management, prioritization of drinking water supply, water object protection, and ecological balance, with international treaties taking precedence over national legislation where applicable. Key measures include the delineation of water objects and entities, management structures such as water councils at various administrative levels, and the responsibilities of state bodies like the Ministry of Water Management, Ministry of Mining and Geology, and Ministry of Environment. The document details procedures for water use, including licensing, quotas, and contracts, as well as regulations for water abstraction, distribution, and the establishment of water management contracts. It emphasizes the importance of water accounting, state water register, and data sharing through integrated information systems, alongside measures for water quality control, pollution prevention, and protection zones. Implementation mechanisms involve institutional responsibilities assigned to specific ministries and local authorities, timelines for planning and revising water use and protection plans, and procedures for harmonizing projects related to water facilities. The Code stipulates enforcement through state control, sanctions for violations, and procedures for resolving inter-state water disputes, with stakeholder participation explicitly recognized in water management activities. Overall, the document provides detailed procedural and institutional guidelines aimed at ensuring legal compliance, environmental protection, and sustainable water resource utilization.
