Sustainable Development of Urbanization must Pay Attention to the Safety of Water Resources 　　Water is the source of Life. Since human beings got to know the importance of water， they have never ceased the development， utilization and dredging of water resources. At present， due to the uneven distribution of water resources， industrial development， agricultural plantation， water for living， fast growth of population， global warming and poor water management， human beings are facing an unprecedented crisis of water resource and water safety， and the problem is becoming increasingly serious. Therefore， promoting the civilization construction of water ecology is very urgent. 　　It is universally recognized that China is a country which suffers serious shortage of water. With the growth of population and the global climate change， these two factors will cause more serious shortage of water resources and pollution problems jointly. According to the data of China Water Resources Bulletin， in 2011 the total amount of water resources in China was 2.3 trillion cubic meters and the water resources per capita was only 1700 cubic meters per annum. Judged by the definition of UN， China belongs to the countries that lack water resources. At the same time， water resources of China are distributed unevenly and the current situation is： Abundant in south and west and inadequate in north and east; more in summer and less in winter; the regions with abundant water resources are often areas with small population and bad economy; and regions which lack water are often with large population and good economy， especially in North China where most rivers are dry and most of water is polluted， the contradiction of water resource security and water demand is particularly prominent. 　　Since the total amount of the water resource is inadequate， the water resource per capita is seriously inadequate， and there are many problems of water pollution. From the end of the last century to the be
