The study looked at how water resources are used in the Shiyang River Basin in China. They found that as the population grows, more water is needed for farming, putting pressure on the water supply. To manage this, they suggest creating a better system for using water, balancing the needs of agriculture, industry, and the environment. By focusing on developing certain industries first, they believe they can reduce the strain on water resources while still growing the economy. The goal is to have a more efficient and sustainable use of water in the whole basin.
