Shanghai Municipality Dike Management Measures.

These Measures are formulated to strengthen the management of dikes and ensure flood control safety. The Measures clarify responsibilities among municipal and district water authorities, distinguish between public and private dike sections, and set financial arrangements for their upkeep. They define protection and management zones, specify planning and technical standards, and require approval for activities such as drilling, construction, or vehicle use within protected areas. Public dike sections may be used only under regulated agreements. The Measures also strengthen safety oversight through monitoring, inspections, and mandatory safety appraisals, while prohibiting harmful activities like blasting, excavation, or damaging protective vegetation. Provisions encourage ecological and scenic improvements, integration of recreational facilities, and digitalized management using monitoring and early-warning systems.
