In recent years

the concept of “dual carbon” has gained increasing attention

with many explorations and practices carried out at both domestically and internationally to address carbon emission reduction in the water sector. However

little research has focused on the integration of the “dual carbon” strategy with smart water conservancy. Utilizing information and intelligent technologies to promote the green and low-carbon development of the water conservancy is thus crucial.This paper briefly introduces the background of the “dual carbon” strategy and emphasizes the significance of building a smart water conservancy system to achieve the “dual carbon” goals. It reviews the current state of “dual carbon” research in the water conservancy

analyzes application scenarios for integrating “dual carbon” with smart water conservancy

and examines four key areas induding optimizing the overall framework

updating and improving infrastructure

enhancing evaluation and accounting capabilities

and deepening the integration of business applications. This paper reflects on the current focus of smart water conservancy building

proposes relevant strategies

and provides a forward-looking perspective on the development of smart water conservancy systems under the “dual carbon” framework.
