ABSTRACTThis study summarizes the progress of the coordinated management of routine and emergency water resources globally and then investigates the Chinese situation. The results show that China’s coordinated management system needs further optimization, the technical system needs further innovation, construction projects need further support and information construction needs further updating. This study proposes perfecting the management system and routine and emergency management mechanism; improving the engineering technical system to promote the ability to build water resources management; strengthening the ability to identify routine and emergency thresholds; adhering to comprehensive prevention and control management; and encouraging public and stakeholder participation.
