Abstract
This Water Supply Regulation establishes a national framework to promote high-quality development in the water sector while ensuring the safety and reliability of services. The Regulation emphasizes a balanced approach between water source development and conservation, with a specific focus on achieving equitable access through urban-rural integration. By treating water supply as a public interest necessity, the Regulation mandates that local governments incorporate infrastructure support into their economic plans to meet the evolving demands of both industrial growth and residential livelihoods.
Furthermore, the Regulation mandates standardized operations and enhanced emergency response mechanisms to address supply disruptions effectively. It sets rigorous protocols for infrastructure maintenance and water quality monitoring to safeguard public health against biological and chemical risks. To ensure compliance, the Regulation reinforces accountability by clearly defining violations and increasing penalties for non-compliance, underscoring a strong governmental commitment to rigorous oversight and the long-term protection of national water resources.
