Water conservancy taps into right efforts

China's local-level authorities are increasingly prioritizing investment effectiveness, focusing on water conservancy projects closely related to people's livelihoods.

This is also in line with the nation's efforts at boosting urbanization, rural vitalization and economic recovery through better infrastructure, experts said.

According to the Ministry of Water Resources, 24,900 new water conservancy projects were launched nationwide in the first nine months of the year, a year-on-year increase of 12.9 percent.
