Besides GWP China and SZCCYL, the Forum was jointly sponsored by the Shenzhen Municipal Water Bureau, the Municipal Environment Administration and the China River Chief Think Tank Research Institute. Prof WANG notes that volunteers play a vital role in meeting outcomes of the river chief system in Shenzhen. Even the city employs financial and regulative tools in the urban river governance (USD 12 billion in 2017), the rivers are still under threat and pressure is owing to pollution. Youth volunteers and authorities would be a critical solution for this issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe River Chief System\u201d enacted in 2016 which refers to a general mechanism for supervising efforts to treat polluted rivers, lakes and seas in China and the top leader at each level is \u2018the river chief\u2019 whose professional credits are closely relying on the local aquatic environment. In addition to the authorities, youngsters are active in the river protection arriving at 702 voluntary \u2018river chiefs\u2019 and 160,000 members regarding the river management and prevention.<\/p>\n

According to the lead of SZCCYL, GWP is influential in water knowledge dissemination, young water leader building and IWRM practice at the global level. GWP China is remarkable in the impacts on urban water management and public involvement in the river governance at local, national and regional levels. Joining the GWP network would invigorate the city to mobilise the strengths of multiple stakeholders at each level to stir more youngsters, governmental agencies and volunteers to water management and river prevention in towns. It also expects that the regional network of GWP China will facilitate Shenzhen authorities for better collaboration among governments, international\/national NGOs, youth\/women associations, communities, etc. towards an integrated contribution to the protection and management of rivers in urban areas.
