Zhejiang Province's water conservancy authorities have adhered to the guiding philosophy that “lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets”
striving to transform rivers and lakes into “happy rivers and lakes” that benefit the people. This effort has led to notable achievements in translating ecological value into tangible socioeconomic benefits. In response to the evolving demands of economic and social development
as well as the growing public expectations for water governance
Zhejiang has continuously upgraded its approach to river and lake management. Guided by the in-depth implementation of the “Two Mountains” theory
the province has demonstrated remarkable progress in converting ecological advantages into development dividends.
