Description
Counties are the basic units for China to promote regional governance as well as economic and social development. The level of water use efficiency nationwide depends on water use efficiency in counties. The Chinese government has implemented the comprehensive conservation strategy. Water-conserving society in counties is built to raise public awareness of water conservation, save and protect water resources, promote a green approach to work and life, better meet the needs of the people for a better ecological environment, and promote ecological protection and high-quality development.
