Abstract [Objective] Water is the core resource of the Xiong'an New Area. Thus, achieving scientific and efficient management of water-related affairs is a critical challenge that must be solved. Water-related affairs in the Xiong'an New Area involve numerous stakeholders; however, there is a lack of systematic empirical research from the perspective of cooperation among government departments, water companies, and water users. Accordingly, this study aims to analyze the integrated water management mechanism from the perspective of cooperation among all stakeholders. [Methods] This study presented an integrated water management structure from the perspective of stakeholder cooperation and revealed the role of stakeholders in the water management cooperation mechanism from a theoretical perspective. Furthermore, this study combined quantitative and qualitative empirical research methods to analyze the current situation of integrated water management among stakeholders in the Xiong'an New Area. A questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data, and expert interviews and project visits were conducted to collect qualitative data. [Results] The results indicate that it is critical to establish a cooperation mechanism that combines river basins and regions for stakeholders in water-related affairs. It is necessary to clarify the work processes and allocation of responsibilities and rights of all stakeholders, realize the coordination and linkage between river basins and regions, and effectively solve water replenishment, pollution control, flood control, environmental protection, and other issues in an integrated way. The realization of the elements of the cooperation mechanism of stakeholders in water affairs demonstrates that all stakeholders must focus on the establishment of common goals and mutual trust, optimization of resource element allocation, reduction of regulatory costs, and strengthening of public water management performance and social supervision. “The enthusiasm for implementation” is most closely related to other elements and can represent the overall cooperation level of stakeholders. Accordingly, establishing incentive/restraint mechanisms in the stakeholder cooperation mechanism can promote the active and effective implementation of the cooperation mechanism. [Conclusions] This study concludes that (1) to implement integrated management of water affairs, it is necessary to integrate water-related functions, specify the core position of water affairs management departments, achieve unified planning, dispatching, and management of water resources, and avoid inefficiency and weakening of management functions caused by departmental interest conflicts. In addition, it is necessary to establish an effective assessment mechanism, review the work effectiveness of the water affairs management department with multi-perspective and multi-level evaluation feedback, promote the efficiency of administrative operation with positive incentives, eliminate the phenomenon of lazy government and power rent-seeking, and ensure the healthy development of the water industry. (2) Establish sound laws and regulations for the water market, follow the operating rules of the market economy, and allow enterprises to obtain reasonable economic benefits. The water affairs management department should conduct supervision and management and provide positive incentives, guide the business behavior of enterprises, improve the long-term incentive mechanism of the market, and realize the scientific combination of the development, rational allocation, efficient usage, and effective protection of the water resources system in the Xiong'an New Area. (3) The integrated management of water affairs must enhance the effective participation mechanism of the public, strengthen the effective restraint of public supervision on water enterprises and management departments, enhance the trust of all stakeholders, promote consensus, and improve the service level through information disclosure and transparent management. The findings of this study can provide theoretical and practical references for cooperative management of water-related affairs by stakeholders.
