Groundwater is not only an indispensable water resource, but also an important ecological and environmental supporting element. The protection and rational development and utilization of groundwater resources are the basic guarantee conditions for sustainable economic and social development. At present, the situation of groundwater resources in our city is very serious: the over-exploitation of groundwater in some areas is serious, causing the groundwater level to continue to decline; the continuous drought has caused groundwater to not be effectively replenished, which has become an important reason for the deterioration of the ecological environment; groundwater pollution is becoming more and more serious, endangering the water supply safety etc. Aiming at the characteristics, situation and problems existing in the development and utilization of groundwater resources in our city, this paper proposes a strategy for groundwater resources in the new period, that is, to focus on quantitative investigation and evaluation, to pay equal attention to both quantitative and quality investigation, evaluation and monitoring, and from redevelopment. The transition from light protection to equal emphasis on protection and development and utilization. Within this strategic framework, specific countermeasures are proposed.
