Analysis Of "River Chief System" Based On Cooperative Governance

With the rapid development of China's industrialization process,the water environment problem has become increasingly complex and severe.In order to solve a series of complex and long-term water environment problems,the "River Chief System",as an innovative water environment management model,emerged at the historic moment The "River Chief System" was created by Wuxi City,Jiangsu Province in 2007.At the end of May 2007,the Taihu Lake drinking water crisis occurred in Wuxi.Although the water crisis is a contradiction between economic growth and environmental capacity,it also forced the Wuxi government to re-treat the water pollution and water environment management work in Taihu Lake.The purpose of governance is unclear,the coordination mechanism between departments is unclear,and the lack of Public supervision and other issues have paid for.Coincidentally,the waters in most parts of China have been reported to have cross-flow of sewage,black and odor,water pollution has become an important export channel for environmental pollution,who will be governed,how to manage,how to control and methods are urgently needed to be solved.In order to break the water pollution control dilemma,Wuxi took the lead in implementing the river length system.Established "River Chief" for the 64 main rivers in the city,led by the municipal party committee,the government aiming at improving the water quality of the river,restoring the river water ecology,and comprehensively improving the function of the river,and achieved remarkable results in the short term.And soon promoted in various provinces and cities across the country.Through the analysis of the progress and current situation of the "River Chief System" work in Gaogang District in the past two years,the author uses the theoretical basis of collaborative governance to find out that there are still many problems to be solved.First,due to the absence of the rule of law and excessive dependence on leadership and other factors.Second,which to some extent undermines the mechanism of the original functional departments working together;The "River Chief System Office" is vaguely positioned,lacking statutory status,and unable to fully organize and coordinate other departments to participate in coordinated governance.Third,the "River Chief System" has a wide coverage,heavy governance tasks,lacking of social capital injection,and financial pressure on the district.Fourth,the current assessment mechanism is unscientific,lacking public participation,mainly in the system self-study;Fifth,the single subject of governance,the degree of social participation is low,showing a series of problems such as "unipolarization" led by the government.Based on the analysis of the successful cases of the "River Chief System"at home,in view of the current problems in the work of the river system in Gaogang District,and drawing on the advanced experience of the "River Chief System" at home,this paper intends to improve the mechanism and strengthen the synergy and absorption.Social forces and other aspects to build a coordinated management system for the current river system,including building up the legal system,making the assessment and coordination mechanism better,joint law enforcement and introducing the "River Sheriff System" to provide legal protection for the enhanced synergy of the river system;The market mechanism broadens the sources of financing sources;relies on the "Internet+" to establish a digital integrated management platform,actively mobilizes social forces such as the public,social organizations,and enterprises to participate in governance,and builds an improved water environment coordination system and other improvement measures,with a view to providing recommendations for the implementation of the "River Chief System"work in Gaogang District.
