China's newly revised Water Law will become effective on Oct. 1 this year, the Ministry of Water Resources announced on Friday.

The revised law was adopted late last month by the 29th meeting of the Standing Committee of the Ninth National People's Congress (NPC).

Compared to the original Water Law, which was drawn up and came into force in 1988, the revised version stresses unified management of water resources. It highlights efficient water consumption, steps up macro management and spells out a national strategy on water resources. It stresses the importance of a balance between water resources and the population, economic development and the environment and values environmental protection amid development, plus legal responsibilities in case of violations.

Experts believe the revised law is calculated to build a water efficient and pollution-free society, achieve sustainable use of water resources and promote sustainable social and economic development.

The new law focuses on improved efficiency in water use. It highlights saving, protection and rational distribution of water resources in an effort to promote a balance between resources and social and economic development and the environment, experts say.
