Modern river basin management techniques are gaining popularity in China to effectively manage increasingly vulnerable water resources. China has several large river basins, with a variety of resource conditions and development challenges. River basins in China are facing aggravated water pollution, and development and management issues. In dealing with these issues, and in line with the evolution of modern concepts of river basin management, the 2002 Water Law of People's Republic of China for the first time defines river basin management institutions and functions, the legal status of river basin management organizations in China, and strengthens the administrative rights of river basin management organizations. However, although it is a good beginning, it is far from perfect. There are still several key issues which need to be addressed in the future, such as: function clarification, relationships between river basin management and jurisdictional management, participation, and coordination and integration of natural resources management.

The feasibility of implementing integrated river basin management in countries with strong federal structures such as Austria or Germany has always been questioned. The present systems of water management in two Austrian states are examined as case studies. The obstacles to integrated river basin management are analysed. A possible solution is suggested, involving all stakeholders within an institutional framework to be created under the federal water law. In addition, the implications of the proposed EU Water Framework Directive for a federal state within a large, politically diversified basin (Danube River Basin) are analysed. Future prospects for river basin management, despite the inherent difficulties, are bright.

Due to rapid industrialization and the concentration of the population shifting towards large cities starting from the 1950s, Japan experienced severe water pollution problems throughout the country. In order to cope with these problems, the legal system has been refined and various measures to control water pollution have been taken. This paper summarizes the current institutional structure, legal system, as well as plans and programs, for water pollution control and river basin management in Japan.
