Economic Daily reporter Jin Guanping: Make good use of systematic thinking to improve water-saving efficiency.

As a country with relatively scarce water resources, water conservation has always been a key aspect of China's water management. The "Opinions on Comprehensive Promotion of River Protection and Management" recently issued by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council clearly states that by 2035, the level of water conservation and intensive utilization of water resources will be further improved. This is not only an important deployment made for river protection and management in China from a strategic and overall perspective, but also a necessary requirement for implementing the rigid constraint system of water resources and the "Water Conservation Regulations". The whole society should enhance awareness of water risks and water crises, regard water conservation as the fundamental way out for water-receiving areas, comprehensively promote the construction of a water-saving society, and promote the formation of a water-saving production and lifestyle. Strengthening rigid constraints on water resources is key, focusing on promoting water conservation in various fields in depth, and using technological innovation as support to comprehensively improve the level of water conservation.
