Abstract：Developing new quality productive forces is an essential requirement and a key focus for promoting high-quality development.New quality productive force in water conservancy is the embodiment of new quality productive force in the water sector.At present,the new quality productive force in water conservancy is mainly reflected in the breakthroughs in productivity achieved through the application of emerging technologies and disruptive technological advances in the water sector,as well as the leaps in productivity achieved through the optimization of labor,labor objects,and production materials under the rigid constraints on water resources.The concept of the new quality productive force in water conservancy is explored from the perspectives of industrial development,technological demand,and investment vitality on the demand side.It suggests that the new quality productive force in water conservancy encompasses resource-based industries,technology-based service industries,and investment-oriented financial industries.Based on an analysis of the challenges facing water economy development,this paper proposes innovative solutions under the background of new quality productive force,including recognizing the self-value of water conservancy and promoting its industrialization,enhancing technological innovation and breakthroughs,and ensuring the orderly operation of investment and financing markets.The study recommends increasing awareness and attention,strengthening institutional support,emphasizing top-level design,confirming property rights of water-related infrastructure,and advancing pilot projects and brand-building initiatives for water economy development.
