We've installed automatic water level meter in the bolsons drilled inside the licensed usage site of Shivee-Ovoo coal mine. 1. Works done regarding quality of water and its improvement: 1.1. Although water quality analysis is conducted on water sources for population, industry, and agriculture in provinces and soums of the basin territory, no significant works were done on improving the quality of water and no financing were planned since no comparison was done for the analysis results. Research results from using the data derived from drinking water of the population within the scope of the Basin are: 1.1.1. 210wells and 15 pools /Dundgobi province/ were registered for drinking and household, schools, kindergarten, hospitals, and watering of green facility purposes. Although, water cleansing system was installed in 38 wells, cleansing system of 14 wells are not operating due to reasons including broken, frozen, and lack of knowledge to operate. 1.1.2. Combined the chemical analysis result of water of 140 wells in 42 soum centers. Out of this, chemical analysis result was combined by 40 wells of 40 soums in 24 indicators, and 100 wells of 34 soums in 9 indicators.. 1.1.3. Based on the analysis result, 39 wells of 21 soums did not fulfill the standard requirements. Out of this, solidity of 6 wells, calcium of 3 wells, magnum of 30 wells, chlorine of 2 wells, iron of 5 wells, manganese of 1 well, and selenium of 7 wells did not fulfill the Drinking water. Health necessity, quality, and safety evaluation MNS 0900:2005 standard requirements. 1.1.4. 10 of the 15 pools in Dundgobi province center had more magnum standard average. 1.1.5. Most of the soum centers had water cleansing and softening equipments installed during the field trips. However, completeness was insufficient, they were not appropriate for the local water qualities, and there were no responsible personnel available with the knowledge of procedures and technical requirements in the soum centers. Thus; it is needed to focus on installing water quality improving equipments. Based on the above research result, the basin administration determined the works of improving the quality of drinking water used by the local population, protecting the water sources, and setting protection borders. It had submitted proposal on the social and economic development of provinces in 2015, and have submitted proposal to Caritas Czech international organization. OPERATING REPORT 2014 3. Works done regarding seminar, promotion, and publicity: 1.2. The Basin administration performed several seminars, promotions and public tasks within the scope of provinces and soums in its territory. 3.1.1 Provided information and seminar to 1100 students of 14 schools of 7 soum of 5 aimag, and 1 district within the scope of Organized the World water day, 22nd of December, "Water intelligent use-conscious savings" autumn and spring environment preservation campaign which lasted a month. Moreover, we have presented seminar on "Water law and regulations, usage, and fee" to 10 bag governors of Gobisumber province, 15 soum governors,head of IAAD, environment inspectors of Dundgobi province, and bag governors of Bor-Undur soum.

There is a series of arguments that decentralization of governments enhances growth by improving allocation efficiency. However, the empirical studies have shown mixed results for industrialized and developing countries and some of them have demonstrated that there might be a threshold level of economic development below which decentralization is not effective. Developing and transition countries have developed a variety of forms of fiscal decentralization as a possible strategy to achieve effective and efficient governmental structures. A generalized principle of decentralization due to the country specific circumstances does not exist. Therefore, decentra- lization has taken place in different forms in various countries at different times, and even exactly the same extent of decentralization may have had different impacts under different conditions.

Brief Description The promulgation of the new constitution in 1992 marks the beginning of the emergence of local self-governing bodies in Mongolia. Citizens Representatives Hurals (CRHs) have become a stable institution and played an important role in the consolidation of democracy. However, challenges remain in making them truly representative of local people, as a responsive and accountable institution. The legal framework established in the early transition period has not kept pace with the country’s social, economic and political transformations. Laws are approved without sufficient consultations with local authorities, thus making their implementation difficult at the local level. The organizational capacities of CRHs are constrained by limited resources available at their disposal, unclear mandates and lack of overall guidance. With significant turnover of the CRHs’ members, there is a continuous need to update the knowledge of their duties and responsibilities as elected representatives. At the same time, citizens’ ability to demand accountability from elected representatives is limited due to their low awareness about the functioning of local self-governing bodies, which make important decisions affecting their lives.
