Abstract: To solve the contradictions between the whole drainage basin and the regional basin in controlling water pollution,trans-regional cooperation has increased in the polluted basin,making comprehensive reclamation of river basin a tendency.Unfortunately,the river pollution has been worsening.Little is found in the laws and regulations concerning governments’ cooperation in controlling pollution,and the operation standard is still to be perfected.Due to the unclear legal nature,the governments’ agreements of cooperation in controlling pollution often have limited binding force.When a dispute of water pollution happens,the lack of legal solution often leads it to a deadlock.On the basis of the perfected laws on the cooperation in controlling pollution,we should give full play to the comprehensive governance and coordination function of the river basin governance organizations.It is important to make clear of the legal nature of the agreements in controlling pollution and perfect the operation provisions,liability provisions,and responsibility provisions of the agreements,so that their legal binding forces could be increased.Meanwhile,multiple channels to solve the disputes should be widened so that the governments’ efficiency in controlling water pollution could be improved.

Key words: governments’ cooperation, water pollution, comprehensive reclamation of river basin
