For example, in water management, it is essential to strengthen capacity in legal and institutional aspects; in flood control, it is crucial to involve stakeholders in the entire process from planning to management; in river basin management, the key issue lies in establishing genuine democratic consultation and cooperation mechanisms rather than merely changing organizational forms; and it is necessary to implement demand management seriously, prevent overestimation of water demand, and guide practical actions accordingly. Emphasizing the importance of these issues and drawing the attention of policymakers will be highly beneficial for continuous theoretical and practical advancements in the future.
