In recent years

Shandong has actively carried out innovative research and development of water-saving technologies in various fields

vigorously developed the manufacturing of water-saving products and equipment

continuously promoted the construction of water-saving projects in various industries

established a sound water-saving management service system

and laid a good foundation for the development of the water-saving industry. However

the classification of water-saving industries is not yet clear

water constraints and incentives are insufficient

technological integration and RD innovation capabilities need to be improved

and industrial scale and cluster development advantages are insufficient. Based on the principles of green

integrated

clustered

and distinctive development

and considering the provincial situation and water conditions

this article proposes the “2 + 2 + N” Shandong water-saving industry location layout of “dual core leadership

dual emphasis on development

and comprehensive support”. It suggests to strengthen government guidance and social participation

deepen the industrial development concept of giving full play to the roles of both government and market water conservancy

implement industrial basic statistics and top-level planning

enhance rigid constraints on water resources and water use supervision systems

promote innovation in water-saving technology and the transformation of achievements

establish industry university research application alliances with enterprises as the main focus

facilitate the cultivation of high-end water-saving talents and practical skilled talents

improve technological support for industrial development

innovate the development models of contract water-saving

water-saving associations

and industrial agglomeration

and make every effort to create a new trend in the development of Shandong' s water-saving industry in the new era.
