BEIJING, January 20 (Xinhua) — China aims to reduce water consumption per 10,000 yuan (US$1,428) of GDP and per 10,000 yuan of industrial value added by more than 10 percent by 2030 compared to 2025 levels, the National Water Conservation Office of the Ministry of Water Resources announced on Tuesday.

As a senior official of the department noted, during the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030), efforts will be focused on high-quality development of water management and ensuring national water security, while the authorities will consistently and thoroughly implement institutional and political systems for water conservation.

Key targets by the end of 2030 include raising the efficiency rate of irrigation water use in farmland to more than 0.6, expanding the scale of the water conservation industry to more than 1.2 trillion yuan, and increasing the use of non-traditional water sources to more than 30 billion cubic meters.

For regions with severe water shortages or water resource overload, the utilization rate of reclaimed water should exceed 30 percent, while the utilization rate of mine water in the Yellow River basin is expected to exceed 70 percent.

In 2026, water management agencies at all levels will improve the system for managing the total volume of water resources and their comprehensive conservation, promote high-quality construction of a water-saving society, and establish a modernized system of water-saving industry to ensure a confident start to water conservation work during the 15th Five-Year Plan period.
