To set up a security guarantee system for the resources management by strictly enforcing their water-related laws, keeping an eye on those overusing water only for their present benefits like randomly developing high water- consumed sectors such as steel manufacturing that has been discouraged by the central government
Under the system, water-use quotas would be set for all users with higher prices had to be paid by those consuming more water than they needed by exceeding supply ration they had.
Instead of mainly supplying water for farming and industries as the country did decades before, more water supply would also be available for improving local environment or rehabilitating the fragile eco-system resulted from the lack of
water supply in the years ahead for areas like shrinking wetlands.
China will put the strictest management of water resources the
government ever had into practice to pave the way for ensuring a sustainable development.
