Features: This is a book written by an ecological PhD and mayor. Based on the author's personal practice, it focuses on exploring the theoretical system and practical models for building a water-based society in areas with relatively abundant water resources in China. The four foundational points of its theoretical system are:
1. Establishing a sustainable development capacity evaluation system primarily based on the ecological carrying capacity of river basins and regions;
2. Building a water resource management system grounded in the theory of water rights and water markets;
3. Developing a water-saving operation mechanism primarily through market economy means;
4. Constructing an information engineering system for a water-saving society mainly using digital methods.
Under this theoretical framework, the book conducts empirical research on the sustainable development capacity evaluation, water resource management system, and water-saving operation mechanism construction in the Fujiang River Basin of Mianyang City, Sichuan Province, as well as the construction of the water-saving society information engineering system. It also includes various implementation plans for the water-saving society pilot project in Mianyang and the firsthand experiences of participants in the construction.
The book is both theoretically and practically strong, making it suitable for reference by theorists and practitioners in the fields of water-saving society construction and water resource management.
