China is increasingly facing water-related problems, such as water scarcity, pollution, and overexploitation of groundwater. This paper discusses the water status in China and claims that governance is the cause of water-related problems. The structure of the current water management is analyzed to conclude that the control-command is a static approach which is less capable of dealing with the uncertainty in the water resources system. An adaptive governance frame is introduced, which highlights the learning process and participation. The learning process avoids making the same mistake twice and the participation ensures the diversity of information, which are both necessary for water resources management.
中国正日益面临水相关问题，如水资源短缺、污染和地下水超采。本文讨论了中国的水状况，并声称治理是水相关问题的根源。分析了当前水资源管理结构，得出结论认为，控制-命令是一种静态方法，应对水资源系统中的不确定性的能力较弱。引入了适应性治理框架，突出了学习过程和参与。学习过程避免了重蹈覆辙，参与确保了信息的多样性，这两者都是水资源管理所必需的。
