Yuan emphasized the importance of adopting a comprehensive water resources management concept, enhancing resource sharing and cross-sector collaboration, and promoting the integrated advancement of water supply, water conservation, flood prevention, and water pollution control.

The goal is to make city governance smarter, more efficient, and more precise.
