Abstract：Addressing challenges such as high urbanization rates,difficulty in pipeline construction,severe local water scarcity,and low water use efficiency in megacities,based on a relatively comprehensive ecological replenishment system for renewable water,Shenzhen conducts detailed investigations to identify the current status and potential users of renewable water resources,and systematically allocates renewable water resources targeting key large users and areas to increase their substitution for conventional water sources.Through the"1453"pilot construction initiative,Shenzhen scales up the utilization of renewable water resources across the entire city.This paper summarizes and explores market-oriented allocation strategies and practices for renewable water resources guided by the government in a megacity,providing robust support for the high-quality and sustainable development of the economy and society in Shenzhen and similar cities.
