Not long ago, Li Guoying, Minister of Water Resources, introduced a set of intriguing data: in the past 1 years, China's GDP has increased by nearly 0 times, and the total water consumption of the country has achieved "zero growth".

Economic and social development inevitably consumes energy resources. From 78 to 0 years, China's electricity consumption increased from 0.0 trillion kilowatt hours to 0.0 trillion kilowatt hours, an increase of more than 0%. In contrast, what is the "magic" behind the "zero growth" of water consumption?

春光里有答案。河南輝縣市麻小營村，麥苗茁壯生長。村民輕點手機，汩汩清流從高標準農田智慧水肥一體機中流出，最終通過滴灌帶“喂”到小麥根系。“用上了高效節水灌溉設施，每畝能省水20％、節肥15％，還能省人工，產量也更高！”五豐合作社社長孫紹臣把賬算得明白。農田灌溉的“科技范兒”，彰顯農業新質生產力的蓬勃脈動，為水資源節約集約高效利用寫下生動註腳。

"Zero growth" means higher input-output efficiency and stronger water-saving ability. Among them, the renewal of development concepts, the innovation of water use systems, and the innovation of water-saving technologies are the key.

Ningxia Ningdong Energy and Chemical Industry Base implements the principle of "four waters and four determinations", promotes the supervision of the whole process from "water source" to "faucet", and realizes the utilization rate of reclaimed water is 98%, and the reuse rate of industrial water of key monitoring water enterprises is 0%. To accelerate the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development, it is necessary to create greater value for every drop of water and achieve the greatest economic and social benefits with the least resource and environmental costs.

Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, where the annual per capita water resources occupancy is only 16/0 of the national average, makes up for the shortcomings of water resources with scientific and technological innovation, forming a complete chain of sewage collection, treatment and recycling. The sludge produced by sewage treatment can be turned into treasure, which can be used for landscaping, mine restoration, etc., and the "refined" protein filtrate can also be turned into organic fertilizer after being concentrated and blended. Only by driving innovation and solving the bottleneck problem in the field of water conservation through technical research can we write a good "water article" for high-quality development.

Broadening our horizons to provide insight into the dialectical thinking of development from the growth of economies and the stability of total water consumption.

There are many people, little land, and water shortage, and the uneven distribution of water resources in time and space is the basic national condition and water situation of our country. To promote new urbanization, industrialization, and agricultural modernization, we must give full consideration to the carrying capacity of water resources and water environment. Does the "maximum rigid constraint" mean that there will only be resistance to development?

Zhejiang Shaoxing Keqiao District Ganyong Textile Co., Ltd. used to consume 90.0 kg of water per dyed 0 meters of cloth and only earned 0 cents, after the transformation to high-end, the water consumption in the production process was reduced by more than 0%, and the products became the fabric of some delegations in the Paris Olympic Games.

Practice has proved that the critical place of resource and environmental constraints also contains huge space and profound potential for green and high-end transformation.

Chengdu Plain, Dujiangyan, an ancient water conservancy project, is embedded in the Minjiang River, nourishing the country of abundance. After more than 7 years, the wisdom of Li Bing and his son to control water is still shining brightly. Now, more than 0 years after the pilot project of replacing water resources with tax, the utilization of water resources in the land of Bashu has become more and more efficient, and the regulation and control of water resources have become more and more accurate.

Strengthening rigid constraints with a strict system, stimulating endogenous power with price reform, combining "sparseness" and "blocking", and "working with both hands" between the government and the market are not only applicable to water management and water management.

還有一組數據。2024年，全國萬元國內生產總值用水量和萬元工業增加值用水量分別較2020年下降17.7％和23.8％。與各行各業用水量持續下降形成對照的是，我們身邊河流湖泊的水量明顯增多。斷流了100年的京杭大運河連續4年全線水流貫通，北京81處泉眼在乾涸多年後重新湧水，永定河連續5年全線流動……一降一增，照見發展邏輯的深刻轉變：中國式現代化是人與自然和諧共生的現代化，水資源開發利用的目標，不止於集約高效，而是人水和諧、人水共生。
