Building the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater-Bay Area is a key measure for deepening reform and opening. According to the statistical data, the 9 cities in the Greater-Bay Area in Guangdong, which accounts for 62% population and 81% GDP, occupies only 30% of water resources, and is perennially affected by saltwater intrusion during the dry season. In order to ensure the water resources security in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater-Bay Area, the study aimed at solving four crucial problems:
- Cracking the current contradictions between economic development and water resources distribution;
- Ensuring high-quality drinking water for people's health requirement;
- Improving the efficiency and benefits of water resources utilization;
- Optimizing the allocation of water resources, and strengthening water resources management.
