Guangdong strictly controls the red line of water resources development and utilization, and the total water consumption will be controlled within 43.5 billion cubic meters by 2025. Guangdong Provincial People’s Government Portal

On the 29th, the portal website of the Guangdong Provincial People’s Government announced the “Guangdong Province’s “14th Five-Year Plan” Water Use Total and Intensity Control Plan” (hereinafter referred to as the “Plan”), which clarifies the four principles of water saving priority, rigid constraints, scientific management and control, and safety assurance. , centering on the overall requirements of controlling the total amount and improving efficiency, fully implement the national water-saving action, clarify the dual control targets and control measures for the total amount and intensity of water consumption in the “14th Five-Year Plan” listed above in Guangdong, and ensure the economy with the sustainable use of water resources. High-quality social development.

The “Plan” proposes two-stage control objectives. By 2025, the province’s total water consumption will be controlled within 43.5 billion cubic meters, of which groundwater consumption will be controlled within 1.303 billion cubic meters, and the use of unconventional water sources will not be less than 800 million cubic meters; The amount of water and the water consumption of 10,000 yuan of industrial added value will drop by not less than 20% and 10% compared with 2020, and the effective utilization coefficient of farmland irrigation water will not be lower than 0.535. A scientific and efficient total water consumption control system that is compatible with the high-quality economic and social development of our province will be basically established.

By 2030, the province’s total water consumption will be controlled within 45.018 billion cubic meters, and the ability and level of intensive, economical and safe use of water resources will be at the forefront of the country, which will strongly support the high-quality economic and social development of Guangdong.

The “Plan” makes it clear that the dual control goals of total water consumption and intensity will be incorporated into the national economic and social development plan, and the red line of water resources development and utilization will be strictly controlled. Vigorously promote relevant industries, industries, and various development zones and new zones to carry out water resource demonstrations while making plans. Strictly control the increase of cooling water for DC thermal nuclear power plants. In areas where the total amount of water consumption reaches the target of the total amount of water consumption in the basin or region, the new water demand for construction projects shall be solved by means of water rights transactions.
