    This year, 22 March marks the 12th World Water Day, and the theme of this year's World Water Day is "Water and Disasters".

    Water is the source of life. Although the area of the earth is covered by water, the water is seawater, which can neither be directly drunk nor irrigated. Of the remaining freshwater, less than 1 of the world's total freshwater can be used by humans.

    On January 18, 1993, the 47th session of the United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 193 in accordance with the recommendations of the 21st Century Action Agenda formulated by the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, and determined that March 22 of each year will be designated as World Water Day since 1993, aiming to promote the integrated planning and management of water resources and strengthen the protection of water resources to solve the increasingly serious problem of water scarcity. At the same time, through extensive publicity and education activities, public awareness of the development and protection of water resources will be enhanced.

    With the development of society, the demand for water resources is increasing, but the water resources available for direct human use are decreasing. In the 20th century, the world's population increased by 2 times compared to the 19th century, while the use of water by humans increased by 5 times. In some developing countries, about 50 percent of drinking water and 60 percent of irrigation water are wasted due to misuse; About 90% of wastewater is discharged into rivers and lakes without treatment, causing environmental pollution; Excessive pumping of groundwater has caused water levels to drop by tens of meters in many areas.

    The world is already facing severe water scarcity: 1.2 billion people suffer from water scarcity, 3 billion lack water sanitation, and 3 million to 4 million people die each year from water-related diseases. By 2025, the water crisis is expected to spread to 48 countries, leaving about 3.5 billion people trapped by water.

    A series of problems, such as the deterioration of ecosystems and the destruction of biodiversity, brought about by the water crisis, seriously threaten the survival of mankind. Statistics show that floods, droughts, mudslides, typhoons and other water-related disasters account for more than 80% of the natural disasters that occur each year. Scientists**, the frequency and intensity of water-related disasters will continue to increase due to climate change, environmental pollution, and El Niño.

    How to improve the effective utilization of water resources and promote the sustainable development and protection of water resources has become an urgent issue faced by all countries in the world. (

    The theme of China's commemoration of World Water Day and China Water Week is "Implementing National Water Conservation Actions and Building a Water-Saving Society".

    March 22, 2018 is the 26th World Water Day and the first day of the 31st China Water Week.

    The United Nations has set the theme for this year's World Water Day to be "Harnessing the Power of Nature to Protect Green Waters and Lush Mountains". The theme of China's commemoration of World Water Day and China Water Week is "Implementing National Water Conservation Actions and Building a Water-Saving Society".

    There are more people and less water, the spatial and temporal distribution of water resources is uneven, the per capita water resources are less than 1 3 of the world average, the average water resources per mu is only 1 2 of the world, and more than 400 of the more than 600 cities in the country have varying degrees of water shortage.

    To save water, we must adhere to the "two-handed force" with the market, establish a long-term mechanism, and stimulate the endogenous power of water conservation.

    Carry out pilot projects on water rights and establish a trading platform. After more than three years of practice, the seven provinces and autonomous regions selected by the Ministry of Water Resources (MWR) in Henan, Ningxia, Jiangxi, Hubei, Inner Mongolia, Gansu and Guangdong have formed a variety of water rights trading models, such as inter-basin, upstream and downstream, inter-regional, inter-industry and inter-water users. In 2016, the China Water Rights Exchange was officially established, and by the end of 2017, 42 transactions had been facilitated, with a total of 1,468 billion cubic meters of water traded.

    Promote the reform of water prices and give full play to the role of economic leverage. Taking into account factors such as market supply and demand, resource scarcity, environmental protection requirements, and social affordability, we should accelerate the comprehensive reform of agricultural water prices, establish sustainable and targeted subsidies and water-saving incentive mechanisms, and promote agricultural water conservation and efficiency. Comprehensively implement the system of progressive price increase for urban residents' water use ladder and non-residential water use over the quota, and give full play to the leverage role of water price in water conservation.

    Every drop of water must be precious, and the benefits are proof. China has solved the problem of feeding 15 of the world's population with 9 percent of the world's arable land and 6 4 percent of the world's freshwater resources, and has ensured bumper grain harvests year after year with zero growth in agricultural water use, and has ensured medium-high economic growth with a slight increase in total water use.
