Abstract:Conducting planning water resources appraisal is a crucial measure to strengthen rigid water constraints and ensure the alignment of economic and social development layouts with the carrying capacity of water resources.Sichuan Province has pioneered efforts in the industrial sector by making planning water resources appraisal a prerequisite for regional master plans,industry-specific plans,and major industrial layouts.In the domain of industrial park planning,Sichuan has completed the rectification and closure of water resources appraisals for provincial economic development zones,undertaken water-related identification for chemical parks,reviewed major water conservancy project appraisals,and integrated unconventional water sources into resource allocation frameworks.Furthermore,innovative measures have been implemented,such as piloting appraisal report forms,linking appraisal processes with water abstraction permits,and establishing a comprehensive supervision mechanism for provincial chemical parks.The study identifies common technical issues in water resources appraisal reviews for industrial parks,providing recommendations on key aspects such as planning identification,surplus assessment of total water consumption indicators,water demand forecasting methods,comparison of water allocation schemes,and impact analysis.These insights aim to enhance regional water resource management practices.
