The study looks at water issues in the Heihe River Basin in China. They found that water usage for farming is high, impacting the region's water supply. By improving water efficiency in irrigation and managing water resources better, they aim to sustain the economy while protecting the environment. They propose ways like transforming irrigation water into soil water, creating water-saving oases, and increasing environmental flow efficiency. The study suggests that with better water management, economic growth and ecological safety can be maintained within the limited water available in the region. Additionally, the researchers highlight the importance of social aspects and community involvement in managing water resources effectively.
