为缓解水资源短缺压力，提高水安全保障能力，更好地推进节水产业发展，推动水资源利用效率提升，结合我国节水产业发展现状，重点围绕发展节水产业的内生动力不够强、行业竞争力不足、技术创新能力偏弱等突出问题进行原因剖析，认为节水产业发展需要新质生产力来推动，同时发展新质生产力需要节水产业来提供水资源保障。为全面推进节水产业高质量发展，基于新质生产力的显著特点是创新，包括技术、业态模式、管理和制度等各方面的创新这一判断，提出新时期我国节水产业发展的建议和策略，即通过科技创新、体制创新、政策创新、商业模式创新和产业链创新推动我国节水产业的高质量发展。

Water resources are the resource base and lifeblood of economic and social development. The development of water-saving industry is an important task in accelerating the construction of a modern industrial system and promoting the process of Chinese-style modernization. The water-saving industry covers agricultural water-saving irrigation, industrial wastewater treatment, water-saving appliances, pipe network leakage control, sewage recycling, seawater desalination, intelligent water-saving field, etc., which has basically formed the complete industrial chain from research and development design, product equipment manufacturing to engineering construction and service management. The water-saving industry is booming in various fields, and the number of market entities serve this industry is growing year by year.In order to better promote the development of water-saving industry, the development situation of water-saving industry is analyzed in China and the problems faced in the development process are discovered. The main problems are that there is insufficient understanding of the water-saving industry, and the endogenous development momentum has not been fully stimulated; the market concentration of the water-saving industry is low, and the cluster development trend has not yet formed; there is a lack of effective constraints and incentive policies in terms of policy guarantees; technological innovation capabilities are relatively weak, and the investment in water-saving technology research and development is relatively insufficient; fiscal, taxation and financial policy support is insufficient. The reasons are mainly in the following aspects: lagging technological innovation and application; unclear basic situation and industrial development path; small-scale enterprises lacking the guidance of leading enterprises; insufficient finance, taxation and finance support, resulting in a lack of endogenous motivation; incomplete industrial chains and lack of a good ecological environment.In addition, based on the understanding of new quality productive forces and water conservancy new quality productive, the impact of new quality productive forces on the water-saving industry are also discussed. That is, the development of water-saving industry needs to be promoted by new quality productive forces, and the development of new quality productive forces needs the water resources security provided by the water-saving industry.Finally, based on the distinctive feature of new quality productive forces is innovation, which includes innovation at the technology and business models, as well as at the management and systems. In order to comprehensively promote the high-quality development of the water-saving industry, strategies for the development of the water-saving industry in the new era were proposed based on innovation:Promoting the water-saving industry through scientific and technological innovation as scientific and technological innovation is the core factor of developing water conservancy new quality production; Ensuring the development of water-saving industry through system innovation, which is the premise to ensure the healthy development of this industry; Guiding the development of water-saving industry by policy integration because this industry needs the guidance and support of industrial policy; Exploring new commercial and market-oriented industrial paths, and support the development of the water-saving industry through business model innovation; Promoting the development of the water-saving industry through building a complete water-saving industry chain, which is the basis for its long-term development, and industry chain innovation. It is hoped that these measures will promote the high-quality development of water-saving industry.
