The concept of driving force-state-response (DSR) framework was used to identify and develop the assessment model of water-land environment carrying capacity (WLECC) for a river basin. The river basin water-land management (RBWLM) decision support system was developed, based on the assessment model of WLECC, as a decision making tool. The Chung-Kang river basin, located in northern Taiwan, was used as a case study to generate a sustainable water-land management strategy. This strategy simultaneously derives the optimal solutions for land use management, water demand allocation, and water quality management. Furthermore, the sustainable WLECC can also be obtained. The WLECC can be used as the area-based indicator of sustainability to accurately measure the progress towards sustainable development for a river basin.

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.

AbstractSweden is a decentralised country where local managers, who are key actors in water management, often deal with relatively difficult prioritisations, tradeoffs and conflicting goals. Many of these challenges relate to the effective implementation of the European Union Water Framework Directive. As an input to these challenges, the present paper elicits and analyses local and semi-local citizens’ preferences for water quality attributes related to the European Water Framework directive in a river basin located in southeast of Sweden. Based on a choice experiment tailored to the case study area, the paper analyses preferences for selected attributes based on real criteria for ecological water status in the implementation of the directive. The target population lives in the municipalities through which the river passes, or in municipalities neighbouring those. Despite this spatial proximity to the river, the analysis reveals limited knowledge and interest in matters related to the environmental quality of the river. There is no evidence that preferences differ between respondents with regard to experience or knowledge about the water basin, nor with regard to recreational habits in the area. These results offer input to local water management by providing information about preferences for explicit water quality attributes.

Winongo river is one of the rivers in the province of D.I. Yogyakarta that included in the category of contaminated. the research aims to learn on the effect variation of cloud cover, wind speed, and water temperature on BOD and DO concentrate in order to choose water quality management strategy at Winongo river. This research conducting a simulation with variating the cloud cover variables (0%, 69%, and 88%), wind velocity (0 m/second, 0,211 m/second and 1,22 m/second), and so the water temperature air (24,2°C, 28,14°C, and 30,6°C). The modeling result shows that cloud cover variables don’t affect the DO-BOD concentrate at Winongo river (sig = 0). While the wind velocity variables only have a small effect on the changed of DO and BOD at Winongo river (sig > 0,05). And for water temperature variables had the significant effect on the concentration changed of DO (sig < 0,05) and have a small effect on the changed of BOD at Winongo river (sig > 0,05). The DO and BOD management strategy can be done by making of riparian buffer strips or planting vegetation on the riverbank Winongo, build a WWTP Communal in every district along the river Winongo
