Discussion on Influencing Factors of Water Resources Environment and Strategies for Protecting Water Ecology

Abstract

At present, the major problems facing the water resource environment worldwide include water pollution, water resource shortage, and water ecosystem degradation. The discharge of industrial wastewater, agricultural non-point source pollution, and the discharge of urban sewage lead to a serious decline in water quality, which directly affects the safety of human drinking water and the living environment of aquatic organisms. Additionally, the unbalanced distribution and excessive exploitation of water resources lead to the problem of water shortage in many areas, which then leads to social and economic contradictions and ecological crises. In terms of ecosystems, the phenomena of water ecological degradation and reduction of biodiversity are increasingly obvious, and the carrying capacity of aquatic ecosystems are gradually declining. This paper aims to analyze the natural, social, and economic factors affecting the water resource environment, and propose effective strategies to protect the water ecology. To provide a theoretical basis and practical guidance for the sustainable utilization of water resources and the long-term development of the water ecosystem.
