A new regulation on establishing and improving the cooperation mechanism between water resources law enforcement and procuratorial public interest litigations was made public on June 9. Jointly issued by the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the Ministry of Water Resources, the new document specifies cooperation mechanisms such as consultation, special actions, clue transfer, investigation, and case notification.
Xi stressed better use of water resources, with rational planning of the population, urban and industrial development to resolutely curb unreasonable water demand.
