Abstract

Due to its complex water conditions, China faces a severe challenge of water security. In recent years, the Chinese government has vigorously boosted water governance through six pathways, one of which being the development of digital twins in the water sector, and has made remarkable progress to guarantee its water security and reach the water-related goals of the 2030 UN SDG Agenda. This article introduces the basic concepts, development pathways, and main content for the development of digital twins of water. It also presents the specific practices of China in different scenarios to empower its modern water governance and management with digital technologies.
