“…Self-compiled questionnaires take a wide range of factors into account including age, gender, type of management, management level, etc. Among them the management department type Currently, most research that involves lakes is usually focused on water management (quantity and quality) with little on governance [6], and the existing researches only measure governance outcomes and do not offer holistic views of governance practices [7][8][9]. Also, estimating governance performance is generally complex because in most cases we do not know what and how to measure it [10].…”

The protection and management of lakes is closely related to people's quality of life and the rapid development of urban economy, and it is also an important aspect of realizing ecological sustainability. Hubei Province has over 1000 lakes, so the importance of the protection and governance of lakes is self-evident. Since the Lake Protection Regulations of Hubei Province came into being, Hubei Province has achieved the gradual extension and improvement of the system of responsibility for the protection of the lake. In order to understand the development of the system of responsibility for the protection of the lake and to explore the shortcomings in the implementation of the lake management system, this paper takes Wuhan city, capital of Hubei Province, as an example, as the object of research and evaluates the implementation effect of the lake protection mechanism and system after the promulgation of Hubei Province Lake Protection Regulations. According to the evaluation results, since the implementation of the regulations, the formal protection of lakes in Wuhan city has been promoted step by step, and the effect of lake management has also been remarkable. The government attaches great importance to lake protection, and the enthusiasm of government staff participating in this is increasing. However, the evaluation results also reveal some weaknesses of the current system of lake protection and governance, including the protection of lake quality, the perfection of the annual appraisal system and the administrative responsibility system, and the optimization of the lake garbage disposal system. On the basis of the results, this paper puts forward countermeasures and ideas to perfect the mechanism and system of lake protection and management in Wuhan city, in order to provide reference for the lake protection and management in other areas.

“…This figure constitutes an average 0.9% of gross domestic product (GDP) of the Latin America, Caribbean, Africa and Asia Pacific countries impacted by poor sanitation, which is a modest decline from 1% GDP five years ago (LIXIL et al, 2016). Studies have shown that several sewerage systems globally discharge sewage without treatment and as a result more than 50% of the world's rivers, oceans and lakes are polluted with untreated wastewater; and on-site sanitation systems characterized by high rates of failure and absence of technological improvement rates, especially in the developing countries, add to this burden (Baum et al, 2013;Brown & Root, 2001;Cookey et al, 2016d;Jones et al, 2004;Siegrist et al, 2000;Starkl et al, 2013Starkl et al, , 2015. To eliminate the above challenges, sanitation technology and management solutions should be approached with the NToB principle and from localized pyscho-socio-cultural-economic, ecological, geographical, resource recovery and technology perspectives; and within the technology (Box 2.9)…”

“…RoDF became necessary in view of the large population (2.4 billion) without adequate and functional sanitation infrastructures, especially in developing countries of Latin America, Caribbean, Africa and Asia Pacific impacted by poor sanitation (JMP, 2015;WHO & UNICEF, 2017). Structural inadequacies, material degradation, poor construction and workmanship and ageing centralized sewage treatment facilities in developed countries, as well as lack of operations and maintenance cultures, are of great concern (Brikke, 2000;Brepolsa et al, 2008;Cookey et al, 2016d).…”

Abstract:Governance is essential to lake basin management, but it is the most challenged and needs increased attention. Lake Basin Governance performance assessment is designed to measure the progress and impacts of policies, institutions and the roles of various actors in ensuring sustainability. It measures the performance of technical/operational, social/networks, and institutional arrangement that make up the socio-ecological system. Governance performance assessment becomes very necessary with over-emphasis of institutions on resources utilization and exploitation. The purpose of this paper is to present a governance performance assessment framework specifically for lake basins. The Adaptive Integrated Lake Basin Management (AILBM) framework is a diagnostic and prescriptive performance assessment tool with an outcome to produce an adaptive and integrative system with equity, inclusiveness, transparency, accountability and flexibility to problem-solving and resilience. A case study on water governance performance assessment of the Songkhla Lake Basin (SLB) in Thailand is provided for illustration and application and indicated a poor performance rating on governance in the Basin, revealing gaps, defects, strengths and weaknesses in the current system, necessary to recommend future improvements.
