Abstract：In face of water shortage, it is essential to attach more importance to water conservation. At present, China’s Water Law and related laws have few specific provisions for water conservation, and thus cannot provide guarantee for water conservation. Policies and regulatory documents at national level cannot be used as the basis for water conservation as they are not normative. And local water conservation laws have too many declaratory clauses and few mandatory clauses due to lack of specific high-level laws. Attaching more importance to water conservation legislation is necessary for the regulation of water-saving behaviors, the effective power allocation in the water conservation system, the construction of water conservation governance system, and giving full play to the advantage of the law to guarantee water conservation. It is necessary to formulate a specific and unified water-saving law, improve the water-saving planning system and the water-saving standard quota system, establish a water-saving evaluation system and a water-saving law enforcement mechanism, improve the public participation system, establish and improve the water-saving assessment system, and gradually establish a complete water-saving legal system to provide a solid legal protection for water conservation.
