发展水利新质生产力,是破解长江新老水问题、提升流域安全保障能力、推动长江经济带高质量发展的内在要求和重要着力点。结合长江治理保护新阶段特征和面临的挑战,基于新质生产力概念,从生态水利科技创新、生产要素数字智能化、产业绿色转型升级等方面,探讨长江水利新质生产力的形成路径和原则要求,并提出加强近自然水工程、数字孪生、节水减污降碳、流域现代管理等方面的科技创新建议,以促进长江生态化、智慧化、绿色化和现代化发展。

Developing new quality productive forces in water conservancy field is both an intrinsic requirement and a key focus for implementing the national “river strategy”. It addresses both current and emerging water problems, enhances basin safety and protection, and promotes high-quality economic and social development. In view of the main features and challenges in the new stage of governing and protecting the Yangtze River, we explore the pathways and principles of forming new quality productive forces covering scientific and technological innovations in ecological water conservancy, digitization and intelligence of production elements, and the green transformation and upgrading of industries. Furthermore, we propose to strengthen natural-based water engineering, digital twins, water conservation, pollution and carbon emission reduction, as well as watershed management modernization to advance the ecological, intelligent, green and modernized development of the Yangtze River.
