ABSTRACT This study develops a comprehensive evaluation framework to assess the incorporation of river ecosystem services (ESs) into policy content, focusing on China's River Chief System (RCS) policy. The introduces quantitative tool that bridges gap between formulation and effect by integrating hierarchical indicator system, reference values, method for quantifying ES incorporation. Key findings from 32 province‐level RCS documents revealed selective certain indicators, significant mismatches focus typical structure ESs, notable regional disparities. Provisioning (i.e., water supply) regulating pollution mitigation) are prioritized, while critical (e.g., flood mitigation habitat maintenance) cultural education science) underrepresented. Stakeholder relationship indicators limited, primarily managers spatial relationships, value ESs is largely ignored. Policy optimization should emphasize expanding coverage incorporating broader stakeholder involvement, financial incentives. Drawing international policies, policymakers could create more flexible adaptive governance structure. While offers evaluation, it acknowledges limitations, including reliance textual data potential biases in values. Future research include perspectives dynamically adjust values as new become available.
