At the National Water Conservancy Work Conference held on January 5–6, it was announced that in 2025, China’s total investment in water conservancy projects will reach 1.2848 trillion yuan, marking the fourth consecutive year in which annual investment in water infrastructure has exceeded one trillion yuan.

Minister of Water Resources Li Guoying stated that by 2025, China will implement 47,563 water‑related projects, creating employment for 3.15 million people. Specifically, the Phase I follow‑up project of the Taipu River and the feasibility study for the Liaodong Peninsula Water Resources Allocation Project in Liaoning have been approved; adjustments and construction are underway in the flood‑storage areas along the Huai River’s main stem below Fushan and in the Xiayu section; construction has commenced on 27 major projects, including the Dajiang–Jimin Water Diversion Project in Sichuan; and the diversion tunnel of the Guxian Water Conservancy Hub on the Yellow River has been successfully bored through.

To systematically advance and comprehensively enhance water governance and management capabilities during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, and to ensure decisive progress toward the basic realization of water‑related modernization, the meeting also outlined the implementation of six strategic tasks. First, achieve decisive progress in modernizing the flood and drought disaster prevention system and its capacity. Accelerate the transformation of traditional flood‑management concepts and approaches, improve the basin‑wide flood‑control infrastructure, the rainfall‑runoff monitoring and forecasting system, and the flood‑and‑drought disaster‑prevention framework, and develop integrated solutions for flood control, flood utilization, and flood‑shaping. Second, make decisive progress in accelerating the construction of a modern water‑network system. Third, achieve decisive progress in establishing a comprehensive governance system for safeguarding rivers that are safe, life‑sustaining, and conducive to well‑being. Fourth, make decisive progress in building a digital twin water‑resources system, systematically planning and advancing digital twin applications for river basins, water networks, and engineering projects. Fifth, make decisive progress in improving the system for the economical and intensive use of water resources, strengthening both the rigid‑constraint framework and institutional mechanisms, as well as the systems for water‑saving and efficiency‑enhancing in agriculture, water‑saving and emission‑reduction in industry, and water‑saving and loss‑reduction in urban areas. Sixth, make decisive progress in reinforcing the institutional, mechanistic, and legal frameworks for water‑resource governance.
