This year, my country's water conservancy construction has been accelerated in an all -round way. Behind this, funds are inseparable. Investment in large -scale water conservancy construction, where does the money come from?

"As far as this year, the country's investment in water conservancy construction exceeds 800 billion yuan. It is urgent to implement the requirements of the" two -handed force ', give full play to the role of the market mechanism, use financial credit funds and attract social capital to participate in water conservancy construction, and raise multiple channels to raise multi -channel raising Construction funds.

Wei Shanzhong introduced that the Ministry of Water Conservancy will build a "one, two, three four" working framework system -anchoring a target, that is, to accelerate the construction of a modern water conservancy infrastructure system, promote the high -quality development of water conservancy in the new stage, and comprehensively improve the national water security guarantee capabilities. Adhere to the "two -handed force", that is, insisting on the "two hands" of government role and market mechanism, and controlling the government's strictness, strictness, and being in place.

As an important starting point for implementing active fiscal policies, local government special debt plays an important role in driving effective investment and stable macroeconomics.

Water resource allocation, rural water supply and urban and rural water supply integration, water ecological protection and management and other fields, give full play to the important role of financial credit funds to support water conservancy construction, stabilize investment and ensure people's livelihood.

Specifically, one is to focus on major water conservancy projects and improve the ability to optimize water resources. Major water conservancy projects absorb large investment, long industrial chain, and many opportunities to create employment, which has obvious economic growth.
