Exploration and Practice of Rigid Restraint System of Water Resources at County Level: A case study of Yongkang City

Abstract

General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed to take water resources as the maximum rigid restriction, emphasize using water resources as its capacity permits, and actively explore new ways of high-quality development with regional characteristics. Yongkang is a water shortage county in the southern water-rich area. The contradiction between insufficient water supply and rapid economic and social development and continuous improvement of ecological environment is more prominent. In this paper, industrial water users are taken as the key control objects, and the added value of unit water consumption is taken as the rigid constraint index of water resources. It is incorporated into the reform of “heroes per acre” and integrated with the existing water resources management system to design the collaborative promotion mechanism framework of general rigid constraint of water resources. Then, the application practice in Yongkang is carried out, and the responsibilities of various administrative departments are clarified.
