| Abstract: |
| The “Belt and Road” includes many areas and there are many complicated water problems along it. For the successful implementation of initiative, it is necessary to analyze the water problems and learn from China’s experience in water management. Based on the main route and water resources areas of the “Belt and Road” identified by the research team, this paper divided the main water resources areas into East Asia, West Asia, South Asia, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, Central Europe, Western Europe, Southern Europe, North Africa and East Africa. To begin with, this paper collected the amount of water resources and the percentage of population with access to safe drinking-water of AQUASTAT database of FAO, and the evaluation data of flood occurrence, drought severity, inter-annual and seasonal variability in water supply of World Resources Institute. Then, the water resources problems in each regionalization were analyzed. Next, the main water resources problems were summarized. The main water resources problems include flood, drought, water shortage, water pollution, uneven distribution of water resources and water supply crisis. And then we analyzed the difficulty of solving different water problems. At last, we summarized the China’s water experiences, mainly including water-saving society development, water resource sustainable utilization, human-water harmony, strictest water resources management system, interconnected river system network and water ecological civilization, and for different water resources problems, we given the solution. It is expected to provide a direction and idea for further quantitative research water problem along the “Belt and Road”. |
