In today's society, water resources, as the source of life, not only support the vigorous development and unprecedented prosperity of society, economy and culture, but also face unprecedented challenges and limitations under the new development environment and goals. With the acceleration of urbanization and the continuous growth of GDP, the demand for "rigid water use" in China is constantly rising. This is the foundation of social and economic development and also the bottom line that the water industry must ensure. However, while meeting the basic water needs for living and production, a brand-new type of water demand - "flexible water use" - is gradually becoming an important driving force for social progress and the public's pursuit of a better life.

Rigid water use, as the cornerstone of social and economic development, is of self-evident importance. The water industry shoulders the important responsibility of ensuring the continuous supply of water resources and the compliance of water quality. This is the bottom-line requirement for high-quality development and also a necessary condition for ensuring the basic living and production activities of the people. However, today, when the basic material needs have been basically met, people begin to pay more attention to the improvement of the quality of life and the beautification of the living environment, and the demand for flexible water use emerges as the times require.

Flexible water use refers to the water demand for improving the quality of life and beautifying the living environment. It is an important support for the construction of a Beautiful China and also a specific manifestation of the public's pursuit of a better life and the advancement of social and economic development. Different from rigid water use, flexible water use pays more attention to the ecological value, health benefits and sense of happiness brought by water. It is not merely satisfied with the material aspect of water, but deeply explores and develops the new connotations and functions of water in ecological maintenance, health preservation, happiness creation and other aspects.

Driven by flexible water use, we have witnessed the emergence of "ecological water". Ecological water not only meets the basic water needs such as irrigation and landscaping, but also, through means such as ecological restoration and water environment treatment, makes water an important part of the urban ecological system and provides citizens with a more livable living environment. At the same time, the concept of "healthy water" has gradually taken root in people's hearts. People begin to pay attention to the quality and safety of drinking water and pursue a healthier and purer water source. The water industry actively responds to this demand and continuously improves water treatment technologies to provide the public with safe and reliable drinking water.

More importantly, the concept of "happy water" is quietly emerging. Water is no longer just a simple material resource, but has become an important element in creating a happy life. Whether it is fountains, water scenery or water parks, water enriches people's cultural life with its unique charm and improves the happiness index of the city. The growth of the demand for flexible water use not only promotes the development of the water industry, but also gives birth to new business forms, new technologies, new services and new markets.

Facing the new challenges and opportunities of flexible water use, the water industry must actively innovate and transform and upgrade. On the one hand, it is necessary to strengthen the management and protection of water resources to ensure the sustainable utilization of water resources; on the other hand, it is necessary to continuously improve water treatment technologies and service levels to meet the diversified needs of the public for flexible water use. At the same time, it is also necessary to actively explore new ways to develop the ecological value, health benefits and sense of happiness of water, and promote the water industry to a new level.

In short, as an important driving force for social progress and the public's pursuit of a better life, flexible water use is leading a new transformation in the water industry. The water industry must keep up with the pace of the times, continuously innovate and develop to meet the public's yearning and pursuit for a better life. Let's join hands and create a better future for water resources together!
