Supporting water conservation measures, e.g.
Supporting sustainable land use management to secure water retention and ensure environmental flow, e.g. by grazing restrictions and ecological restoration
Conservation and drought contingency planning with a more efficient use of existing water supplies and minimization of the environmental impacts associated with developing new supplies, and delay the high cost of additional water supply development
Reviewing the local governments and water supply providers' conservation and drought contingency plans
Sustainable agricultural practices
Protection of the integrated production and ecological stability
Development and application of new, sustainable and environment-friendly technologies, e.g for plant protection and priority development of nonchemical methods against crop diseases and pests
Introduction of flood-tolerant species
Following nature conservation and flood control requirements
Using agricultural practices such as avoiding bare soil during precipitation season, minimise plough land on the slopes of hills
