中共中央书记处农村政策研究室主任杜润生在农村水利工作座谈会上强调,水利工作要转到讲求经济效益的轨道上来,实现向节水型农业转变。这应该作为水利工作改革的方向。在北京召开的这个座谈会,是由中央书记处农村政策研究室和水利电力部联合举办的。杜润生在座谈会上说,我国耕地资源有限,搞水利是必要的,这是中国农业的特点。水利投资要讲效益,无效和低效的工程不要搞。水利工程不能只建不管,还要讲求水利工程的运行效益。水利是不能否定的,但某些不讲效益的办法要否定,特别是要否定吃“大锅水”、水的浪费和水的不经济使 Du Runsheng, director of the Rural Policy Research Office of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, stressed at the forum on rural water conservancy that water conservancy should be shifted to the emphasis on economic benefits and to achieve a shift to water-saving agriculture. This should be the direction of water conservancy reform. The symposium held in Beijing was jointly organized by the Rural Policy Research Office of the Central Secretariat and the Ministry of Water Resources and Electric Power. Du Runsheng said at the symposium that China’s limited arable land resources and water conservancy are necessary. This is a characteristic of China’s agriculture. Water conservancy investment to talk about efficiency, ineffective and inefficient projects do not engage. Water conservancy projects can not be built only, but also emphasize the operational efficiency of water conservancy projects. Water conservancy can not be denied, but some non-productive measures should be rejected. In particular, it is necessary to deny eating “cauldron water”, water waste and uneconomical use of water
