The Ministry of Water Resources issued the "2022 Water Resources Management Essentials" (hereinafter referred to as "Essentials") proposed to promote the ecological recovery of rivers and lakes, improve the ability and level of water resources intensive, economical and safe use, and promote the construction of ecological civilization and high-quality development.

Water is the source of life, production, ecological base. Water resources management is an important element in the construction of ecological civilization, but also to coordinate the development and security, maintain the quality of the environment, to ensure ecological security. I believe that further standardization and strict water resources management, is the construction of water resources, water ecology, water environment "three water integrated" governance system "cornerstone", strict water resources management is conducive to promoting the recovery of the ecological environment of rivers and lakes.

Mountain, water, forest, lake, grass and ice is a community of life, we must adhere to the water resources as an important ecological element into the entire watershed ecosystem in an integrated consideration. The implementation of strict water resources management initiatives, first of all to protect the ecological flow of rivers and lakes. 2020 since, China has accelerated the development of key rivers and lakes ecological flow guarantee target, water conservancy departments at all levels have developed 425 key rivers and lakes ecological flow target, including the development of 118 river basin management agencies, 307 provincial water conservancy departments. River and lake ecological flow target will be incorporated into the river basin water resources scheduling program and annual scheduling plan, as the basin water allocation, water resources unified scheduling, total water withdrawal control of an important basis. Should explore the ecological flow target into the "three lines and a single" control program, strict planning and environmental assessment and ecological access, prohibit the construction of new high water consumption and high pollution projects in ecologically sensitive and fragile areas have a serious impact on the ecosystem.

For the river and lake dry up and break the flow of the region is serious, good ecological replenishment is one of the keys to replenish the ecological flow and protect the water ecological environment. Take the Yongding River in the Haihe River Basin as an example, since the National Development and Reform Commission approved the "Yongding River Comprehensive Treatment and Ecological Restoration Master Plan" in 2016, a total of over 1 billion cubic meters of ecological replenishment has been implemented, and the whole line has been opened to water. The Key Points focus on "promoting the recovery of rivers and lakes in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, promoting the flow of water through the Yongding River, Chaobai River, Daqing River and Hutuo River, and further restoring the ecological environment of Baiyangdian", which is important for improving the water ecological environment in water-scarce areas represented by the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Relevant regions should promote the unconventional water sources into the unified allocation of water resources, the integration of local water, external water transfer, recycled water multi-water sources, the integration of flood control, profit, ecological multi-target, the establishment of a unified water resources scheduling system. Cross-provincial rivers should be in accordance with the principle of basin coordination to explore the establishment of ecological water replenishment collaboration mechanism.

Open source, but also to do a good job of saving water, the implementation of good water management system is equally important. In recent years, the problem of unreasonable water resources development and utilization still occurs from time to time. For example, the central ecological environmental protection inspector found that some areas in Jinzhong, Shanxi disregarded the endowment of water resources and environmental carrying capacity, and blindly launched high water-consuming coking projects; Zhengzhou and Kaifeng in Henan Province took the opportunity of diverting yellow storage, ecological management, and water supply for people's livelihood to carry out artificial lake building and tourism development. These typical cases to water resources development and utilization supervision sounded the alarm. On the one hand, the local government should press down the main responsibility of implementing the "four waters and four definitions", promote the economical and intensive use of water resources, reasonably plan population, urban and industrial development, vigorously develop water-saving industries and technologies, and resolutely curb unreasonable water demand. On the other hand, strictly supervise water extraction afterwards, increase law enforcement and supervision and inspection, and investigate and deal with unlicensed water extraction, over-permitted water extraction, over-planned water extraction, over-extraction of groundwater, unauthorized change of water extraction use and other illegal and irregular acts according to law.

Restore the ecology of rivers and lakes is not a quick fix, and should be implemented gradually under a scientific top-level design, according to local conditions. In this process, we should strengthen the departmental linkage, public participation, monitoring and early warning, supervision and assessment. Make full use of sky, air and ground remote sensing technology, integrate hydrology, water rights, water extraction and economic and social data, improve monitoring accuracy and online rate, and realize inter-departmental information sharing. Strengthen the daily supervision of ecological flow, and strictly assess and supervise and inspect the water volume of the discharge flow at provincial boundary crossings, important control crossings and ecological flow control crossings in cross-provincial river basins. Strengthen the supervision and management of ecological flow protection of rivers and lakes and the implementation of effect assessment. Promote ecological flow monitoring and early warning-related calculations, algorithm research, and enhance the level of supervision and management of ecological flow wisdom.

Completing the shortcomings of water resources will help consolidate the effectiveness of water environment management and establish a water ecological barrier. To effectively implement strict water resources management initiatives, and strive to achieve the goal of "water in rivers, fish and grass, and harmony between people and water" as soon as possible.
