River and Water Management and Problems to Be Solved

Abstract

Adjusting laws and rules to social change requires constant efforts by the people. The river and water management system is no exception. Since the late 1990s, the system has faced two major changes. The first change arose when the River Law was revised in 1997. However, before public participation, which has been one of the most important requirements of the revised River Law, could be established, the second change appeared: the decrease in the population. To adjust the national and local expenditure to the smaller income through less tax payers, we have to continue reforming legislation and the judicature system in order to control administration.

To avoid deprivation of national and local budget among the aged and future generations, we have to continue reforming legislation and the judicature system in order to control administration.
