BEIJING, November 21 (Xinhua) — China is willing to share its wisdom and experience in river management with the rest of the world, opening up paths and providing models for the healthy development of water resources on the planet, according to an analytical report released Friday.
The report, titled “River Governance for National Prosperity and Public Welfare – A Study on Water Strategy in the New Era,” was jointly released by the National Research Center of the Xinhua News Agency and the China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research under the Ministry of Water Resources.
The report estimates that the number of urban populations experiencing water stress on Earth will increase from 930 million in 2016 to 1.7-2.4 billion by 2050. As climate change accelerates, global water security is under increasing pressure, and river management is becoming increasingly challenging.
In recent years, China has accumulated considerable experience in water resources management through large-scale projects, innovative methods and social management, the document says.
China organized online and offline training sessions for nearly 4,000 water resources specialists and government officials from 112 countries. Five overseas technology transfer and capacity-building centers were established in Pakistan, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Serbia, and Senegal.
Furthermore, extensive cooperation was established with UN agencies in the field of water resources; the country shared its scientific research achievements and joined efforts with other countries and regions of the world to address growing water resource challenges.
China is willing to make new contributions to improving global water governance and ensuring the achievement of water-related goals under the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, thereby promoting the world's new vision of harmony between people and water, the report said. -0-
