On March 14th, the State Council Information Office held a press conference, and the person in charge of the Ministry of Water Resources introduced the progress and effectiveness of China's water safety guarantee. In recent years, China has implemented the policy of prioritizing water conservation and achieved profound changes in the utilization of water resources. Vice Minister of Water Resources Liu Weiping stated that in strengthening the conservation and intensive utilization of water resources and promoting deep water conservation in various industries of the economy and society, China has fully implemented national water conservation actions, strengthened rigid constraints on water resources, continued to promote agricultural water conservation and efficiency improvement, industrial water conservation and emission reduction, urban water conservation and loss reduction, and promoted the transformation of water use methods from extensive to conservation and intensive. The policy of water-saving system is gradually being established. Implement the comprehensive conservation strategy, promote the legislation of water conservation regulations, and jointly issue and implement the National Water Conservation Action Plan and the plan for building a water-saving society with relevant departments. The construction of a water-saving society is being comprehensively promoted. A total of 1763 water-saving society compliant counties, 145 water-saving cities, and 21000 water-saving industrial enterprises have been established. Incorporate the water consumption index of unit regional GDP into the national comprehensive performance evaluation system for high-quality development. Establish a dual control index system for total water usage and intensity covering the three levels of administrative regions at the provincial, municipal, and county levels. The development momentum of water-saving industry is good. A total of 714 contracted water-saving management projects have been promoted and implemented, attracting social capital of 9.5 billion yuan. 23 provinces have introduced "water-saving loans" financial products, with loan amounts exceeding 210 billion yuan. Vigorously promote the transformation and promotion of water-saving technologies, and carry out the action of leading water efficiency. Accelerate the construction of a national water network system that integrates urban and rural areas and is interconnected. In promoting the optimal allocation of water resources, Zhang Xiangwei, Director of the Planning and Planning Department of the Ministry of Water Resources, stated that the Ministry of Water Resources will focus on networking, supplementing networks, and strengthening links to accelerate the construction of the national water network. Accelerate the formation of the main framework and backbone drainage channels of the national water network. Since the completion of the East and Middle Lines of the South to North Water Diversion Project, the cumulative water diversion volume has exceeded 69.8 billion cubic meters, directly benefiting 176 million people. In 2022, the construction of the middle route of the South to North Water Diversion Project to divert water from the Yangtze River and supplement the Han River began, while the preliminary work of the western route project is actively being promoted. The water resources allocation project in the the Pearl River Delta, which was opened to water in January this year, effectively guaranteed the water supply security of 32 million people in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area. Actively promote the construction of major nodes in the national water network. Since 2022, 20 large-scale reservoirs have been constructed, including Linhai in Heilongjiang, Xiangyang in Chongqing, Taoyuan in Yunnan, Yaojiaping in Hubei, and Fenghuangshan in Anhui. These reservoirs will play an important role in regulating and storing water in national, regional, and provincial water networks; At the same time, construction began on 13 large-scale irrigation areas, including Da'ao in Jiangxi, Datongxia in Guangxi, and Huaihongxin River in Anhui, consolidating the water conservancy foundation for national food security. Coordinate and promote the construction of provincial, municipal, and county-level water networks. At present, 31 provinces and provincial-level water network construction plans have been issued and implemented, and the Ministry of Water Resources has launched the construction of provincial, municipal, and county-level water network pilot zones. Through the demonstration and driving role of the pilot zones, we are promoting the construction of water networks at all levels and accelerating the construction of a national water network system that integrates urban and rural areas and is interconnected. Effectively ensuring food production and promoting the protection and management of water conservancy in river and lake systems are the lifelines of agriculture. Chen Mingzhong, Director of the Rural Water Resources and Hydropower Department of the Ministry of Water Resources, stated that in promoting the construction of irrigation and drainage systems, we will combine national and local water network engineering
