On November 5, Qingdao held a press conference to introduce its achievements in the conservation and intensive utilization of water resources. As a resource-based water-scarce city, Qingdao has adhered to both tapping new sources and reducing consumption. The effective utilization coefficient of farmland irrigation water has reached 0.6619, the water supply network leakage rate has been controlled below 7.9%, and the industrial water reuse rate has exceeded 92%. The city has been recognized as a National Water-Saving City for four consecutive selections.

The city has accelerated the construction of Guanlu Reservoir, established a unified allocation system for multiple water sources, and vigorously developed reclaimed water and seawater desalination. In agriculture, it has promoted integrated water and fertilizer management. Besides, it has exercised strict supervision over high-water-consuming industrial enterprises, renovated water supply networks, launched pilot programs for water budget management, and nurtured water-saving industries, charting a distinctive path of water conservation and intensive utilization for northern cities.
