Water is the source of life.

From the point of view of geoscience, the water on the earth moves under the action of solar heat energy, earth gravity and molecular energy, and the phase changes occur constantly, from the troposphere of the atmosphere to the depth of the lithosphere, forming a hydrosphere tens of kilometers thick, which has become a basic feature that distinguishes the earth from other planets.

It is because of water that Earth has acquired the unique cosmic status of the only blue intelligent planet to date; water has also laid a prerequisite for the process of natural history, including the origin and evolution of life.

Water resources are the basic natural resources of human civilization.

Life originates from water, civilization lives by water, and the five birthplaces of civilization in the world all originate from rivers and seaside. Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has had a pure heart for nature and water. "good as water", "those who want to make fish pass through water first", "if there is no wood, it will wither, and if there is no source, water will be exhausted."

Water culture has also become an important part of Chinese culture. As the representative of the great river civilization, the Chinese people have known from the very beginning to choose water to live, and the great rivers have nurtured the splendid Chinese civilization together. Chinese people are used to calling the Yellow River the mother river of the Chinese nation and the cradle of Chinese civilization, highlighting the relationship between water and Chinese culture.

Water resources are strategic economic resources for human development.

General Secretary Xi Jinping has stressed many times that there is no substitute for the ecological environment. Ecosystem is a complex system in which all kinds of natural elements depend on and interact with each other. Water is a key element of ecosystem and plays an irreplaceable role in maintaining ecosystem balance. At present, China is facing the severe challenge of lack of overall resources and local environmental pollution.

As the lifeblood of agriculture, the blood of industry and the necessities of life, the per capita share of water resources in China is only 1/4 of the world average.

For a long time, some people have little awareness of saving, loving and protecting water, thinking that water is "inexhaustible and inexhaustible." they don't know how to cherish it, or even waste it. In fact, water is not easy to come by, coupled with serious pollution, water resources are becoming increasingly scarce. Especially for groundwater, about 1/5 of the total water supply and 1/3 of the urban water supply in China come from groundwater, but it shows an expanding trend of pollution from point to surface, from shallow to deep, and from urban to rural areas.

The increasingly serious water pollution not only reduces the use function of the water body, but also aggravates the contradiction of the shortage of water resources, which seriously threatens the drinking water safety of the residents and the health of the people. it has a serious impact on the construction of ecological civilization and the millennium plan of the sustainable development of the Chinese nation.

"Guan Guan singing waterbirds live on sandbars in the river." at the beginning of the Book of songs is a picture of water ecology.

In today's world, adequate and high-quality water resources are needed for industrial and agricultural production, people's daily life, national defense construction and ecological construction. From the point of view of the concept of geoscience and the attribute of natural resources, popularizing the correct understanding of water in the whole society is the premise of sustainable utilization of water resources and sustainable development of society.

It is a long-term and systematic project to jointly grasp water conservation, jointly control water pollution, protect water ecology and love water resources, which requires the omni-directional practice of power saving, energy saving, flower protection, grass protection and forest protection, as well as the participation of the whole process, full coverage and all staff.

Water is good for all things and does not dispute, but only by loving her can it benefit mankind. We hope to cherish water, just like taking care of our own lives, to become the consciousness and action that everyone should have at all times, everywhere and everywhere, so as to make the protection of water resources a habit and responsibility, and let the sweetness of life stay in people's hearts forever.
