Analysis and strategy research on high-quality development of contract-based water conservation in the new stage
Based on the current situation that China has a large population with a limited per capita share of water resources,the uneven spatial and temporal distribution of water resources,a prominent conflict between supply and demand of water resources,and an urgent need to improve the level of economic and intensive utilization of water resources,this paper reviews the results and lessons obtained and learned by the Ministry of Water Resources during the new period of time,which has been actively practicing General Secretary Xi Jinping's water governance philosophy of"prioritizing water conservation,balancing spatial distribution,taking systematic approaches,and giving full play to the roles of both govern-ment and market",and has vigorously implemented the innovative mechanism of"contract-based water conservation"to promote the development of water conservation service industry.This paper also analyzes the opportunities and challenges facing the current high-quality development of contract-based water conservation in China.In addition,this paper puts for-ward relevant suggestions such as strengthening water resources management and assessment,issuing fiscal and tax support policies,improving the water conservation industry chain,and strengthening third-party supervision.This research is expected to provide reference value for the high-quality development of contract-based water conservation in the new stage.
