For the appropriate water management, it is desirable to make report the rights of using water customarily, and to gradually replace it by the permitted use license. If a restriction on the rights to use water makes special damage, they should adapt measures for rights such as compensation, a change of permitted rights to use, and progress regulations.

It is necessary for legislation to clarify the standards and principles of water distribution. They should be collected fees for the use of river water in principle. In the case of the use by permission for river occupation and use, fees shall be levied. In addition, it should be more clarified the kinds of fees charged by the Korea Water Resources Corporation and the charge standard.
