Research On Water Industry Regulatory System Reform Of China

The running water is the essential substance and source for the existence and development of the human beings. Its steady and efficient development will directly influence the prosperity and development of the national economy and the stability of the society. Countries in the world think highly of the running water and strengthen the regulations of it. The reform of the running water in China has made a periodic achievement, but there are still restrictions to access to it, and the functions of the regulations have not been fully exercised, and the regulations on the quality of water and the regulations on environment protection seriously lag behind, which restricts the rapid development of the running water industry. Presently, China is now in the process of over-all advancement of the market economy. Neither the laggard operation mode nor the traditional systems of the regulations of the running water industry can adapt to the new conditions. Therefore, it is very essential to have a further reform on the system of the regulations of the running water industry, to have more financing channels, to introduce in competitive mechanisms, to regulate the market operations and to establish rational and effective systems of regulations so that the efficiency of the running water industry will be improved and that the development of the running water industry will be quickened.In this dissertation, the author has, on the basis of the comparison with the experience in the reform of the system of the regulations on the running water industry in main developed countries, made a exploratory study of the reform of the systems of the regulations on the running water industry from the regulation of access, of price, of quality and of the environment by means of the unity of logic and history , the comparative study, the normative analysis, the qualitative and quantitative analysis etc:Firstly, the author has introduced the achievements (made by famous writers home and abroad) on the nature and features of the running water industry. Then she has, on the basis of the analysis of the theory of the regulated economy and the natural monopoly theory, studied the present conditions of the research on the reform of the regulations of the running water industry inside and outside China. The author has not only built a strong theoretical foundation for the writing of this dissertation, but also put forward the direction and task of her study in this dissertation.Secondly, the author has, from the perspective of economic performance, technological performance and the social performance, made a study of the performance and the influencing factors of the regulations in the present system of regulations. Although a big improvement in the running water industry in China has been made since the open-door policy after the reform outset stage, gradually reform stage and the reform deepens the stage gradually, the productivity efficiency has been, to some degree, improved, there are still some problems: the running water industry is now running a serious loss in terms of economy performance; there is still a long way to meet the national standard in terms of the quality of the running water and the rate of the leakage of the networks of the pipes as far as the technology performance is concerned. As to the social performance, the conflict between the demand and supply is getting more and more serious, so are the water pollution and irrational water consumption, whose reasons that influence the performance of the running water regulations are originally many: this article has carried on the analysis from regulations of access, regulations of price, regulations of quality, regulations of environment and so on several aspects.Thirdly,through the analysis of the background, major measures and the performance of the reform of the systems of the regulations on the running water industry in the U.S. A., England, and France, the author has generalized common grounds from the reform of the system of the regulations of the running water, which has offered a rich theoretical support and experience for China's reform of the system of the regulations of the running water industry. Five major aspects are included in these common grounds: the deregulation of access is the trend of the reform of the system of regulations; the construction excitability price rules and regulations model is the price rules and regulations reform preferred plan; the regulations of the quality of water and the control of the water pollution are the common measures adopted in the world; the unification of the system of the regulations of the running water is the important guarantee of the further reform of the system of the regulations; the improve legal system is the premise and guarantee of the effective regulations of the running water industry.Finally, author has, through the analysis of the influencing factors on the performance of the regulations on China's running water industry, and the reference to the experience in the system reform of the regulations of the running water industry in the major developed countries, made a exploratory study of the reform of the systems of the regulations on the running water industry from the regulation of access, the regulation of price, the regulation of quality and regulation of environment. She puts forward a suggestion on the policy of the further reform of the regulations of China's running water industry. As far as the access to the reform of the regulations is concerned, the restructuring of the market shall be carried out so that an effective, competitive market structure will be formed. Besides, it is necessary that a reform of the investment and financing mechanisms of the urban running water industry should be further implemented, that the reform of the marketization of the running water industry should be standardized, and that the reform that promotes the regulation of access of the running water industry should be constructed. In terms of the reform of the price, it is very essential to normalize the pricing procedure in the running water industry and to improve cost-based pricing, to introduce the incentive mechanism, to continue to promote two-way pricing step-mode water-measurement pricing, to implement the accumulative water pricing in the special industries, to promote the categorized water pricing and quality-based pricing, to implement the busy and off season pricing as per the differences in different regions and in different seasons. In addition, it is necessary to improve the sewage disposal charging system, to institute and improve the auditing system of the price of the running water so that the price of running water can be effectively supervised. In terms of the quality regulations, it needs to revise the norms of the quality of water, to set up the urban running water- managing network; furthermore, it is necessary to carry out the quality-graded pricing policy in different areas according their specific conditions,to strengthens the pipe network to transform, enhances the pipe network water quality,to adopt new technologies to improve the running water service and to set up the relevant punishment system to protect the quality of the water and to improve the service. It is also important to enhance the construction of the security alarming system and emergency system of the urban running water. As far as the reform of the environment regulations is concerned, it is necessary to reinforce the protection of the water resources, to strengthen the urban sewage disposal and the protection from water pollution, to take effective measures to recycle the wastewater to built a water-saving city, to increases the pollution punishment dynamics, active control pollution and to promote the practice of the exchange of the sewage discharging right to promote the sound and steady development of the running water industry.The author has made some breakthroughs of the present domestic research achievements: firstly, In profits from the Western main developed country running water rules and regulations reform experience's foundation, to the Chinese waterway and well construction rules and regulations reform, regulated the system reform to conduct the system research particularly originally, simultaneously paid attention to and the rules and regulations organizational reform effective engagement. Secondly, While regulations of access, regulations of price, regulations of quality to the waterway and well construction to conduct the research originally, strengthened to regulations of environment research, and the perspective of the study of the running water regulations has been developed. Thirdly, Carries on the thorough analysis and the discussion originally to the waterway and well construction fixed price pattern,and construct the incentive pricing regulation models in the running water industry; besides, in terms of the price of water, introduced are"the floating pricing system","the card-inserted and the water-out"system,"the off and busy season system","the graded-quality water supply system"etc., which are of some certain practicability and operability, and proposed suits our country national condition the countermeasure suggestion, to deepens the waterway and well construction rules and regulations system reform to have originally refers to and profits from the function.
