Article Abstract:

The way economic consequences of a set of water management regulations is taken by a group of stakeholders in Ronnea catchment is investigated by exploring the perceived cause of eutrophication, preferences using water rule and the extent to which polluter-pays principle should be applied. The stakeholders have a conservative view of water management and they accept the combination of regulations and economic incentives and are fully aware of the complexity of the issue.

The protection policy of eco-environment in desertification areas of Northern China: Contradictions and countermeasures

Article Abstract:

Protection policies such as returning farmland to forestry and pasture, conserving water, prohibition of grazing, and migration of farmers are the primary principles for regulating eco-environment degeneration in desertification areas of Northern China. However, conflicts have arisen between the policies implemented and the reality of eco-environmental protection, leading to an unchanged situation in the degeneration of the land.
