Abstract

This Act amends the Act on Regional Bodies and the Water Boards Act 1931 for the purpose of reactivating Water Boards and to provide for coordination between Water Boards and regional administrative bodies in the framework of functional and geographical decentralisation. The amended Water Boards Act provides that Water Boards are established, modified or abolished by State Order of the Minister responsible for regional administration. For the areas where no Water Board is established, the regional body shall be responsible for the administration of water resources.
