The shortage of water resources has always been the biggest contradiction in the Yellow River Basin. In recent years

with the efforts to adhere to the double control of the total amount and intensity of water resources consumption along the Yellow River area

the situation of excessive growth of water use in the Yellow River Basin has been effectively controlled. However

with the continuous economic and social development

the ecological environment of the Yellow River Basin is still fragile

the water demand along the Yellow River area will still show a rigid growth

and the situation of water resources security is still very severe. As a major agricultural county of Yellow River diversion

Lingcheng District

Dezhou City

Shandong Province

is a severe water shortage area

with problems such as insufficient supply of water resources

prominent contradiction between supply and demand

backward water-saving projects

and its water use is heavily depen-dent on Yellow River diversion sources. Water management is an important part of water resource management

whether it is scientific or not

determines the local water use efficiency and the conservation and intensive use of water resources. Lingcheng has taken measures such as promoting efficient water-saving renovation

strengthening the construction of regulation and storage projects

and improving the agricultural water use measurement system to integrate deep water-saving and water control throughout management

improve surface water utilization

and save agricultural water consumption. This is of great significance for easing the regional water supply and demand contradiction

ensuring high-quality development of irrigation areas

providing reference for water management work in other irrigation areas.
