Located in the Northwest China, three quarters of Ningxia's land area is in the arid and semi-arid zone. The average annual precipitation is 289 mm, which is less than half of the national average. The water used in Ningxia is mainly from the Yellow River allocated by the state.
To solve the problem of water shortage, which is increasingly becoming serious, the Ningxia Party committee and government have always urged saving water as an important measure.

The "Citizens' Code of Water Conservation" was officially promulgated and implemented on the same day as "World Water Day" on March 22.
"The reason why we put it on the same day is to thoroughly advocate people to save water from their daily lives. Scientific water saving and control can make us win the tough battle of water conservation," said Zhang Yanzhu, director of the Water Conservation Service Center of Yinchuan.
