Abstract:
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.
