China’s State Council Information Office (SCIO) today outlined bold steps to tackle water scarcity and ensure long-term resource sustainability during a high-profile press conference. Vice Minister of Water Resources Liu Weiping emphasized the urgency of addressing climate-driven challenges, population growth, and industrial demands.
🔑 Key highlights:
A new \"5-Pillar Strategy\" to optimize water distribution, upgrade infrastructure, and promote eco-friendly practices
Tech-driven solutions like AI-powered irrigation systems and smart leak detection
Expanded cross-regional cooperation to protect major river basins
🌱 Why it matters: With 20% of the world’s population but only 6% of its freshwater, China’s blueprint could redefine global water management. Students and young professionals will find the focus on green innovation particularly relevant!
