Connotation,practical exploration,and implementation pathways of"water determines green"
Zheng Guonan
Abstract：Based on the water resources rigid constraints,this study elucidates the essence of"water determines green"across three dimensions of concept,governance,and technology.It also analyzes the spatial attributes of"water determines green"in the context of China's national and water situations.Building upon the recent preliminary practices of"water determines green"in China,it identifies four challenges:the lack of detailed water resource carrying capacity constraints in national land space ecological protection and restoration,the need for further optimization of water resource use control systems,the absence of necessary implementation details in the water resource argumentation for greening plans,and the inadequacy of ecological restoration water supervision systems at the project level.The paper proposes clarifying the ecological water control indicator system under stringent water resource constraints,establishing a water resource argumentation system for greening plans and projects,promoting the application of unconventional water sources for ecological greening through government and market mechanisms,and continually advancing the implementation of"water determines green"with technological support.
