In the context of climate emergency, many cities in southern China are facing the threat of flooding. At the same time, drought is threatening agriculture and food security. This makes the distribution and use of water resources an urgent issue.

Taking Liuzhou City as a case study, the project establishes a dynamic water resource management system in the city and the upper suburb. The aim is to use concentrated and excessive rainwater for agriculture, increasing flood storage and water availability, while promoting the cultivation of tangerine in the face of the climate emergency.

A more sustainable agricultural planting pattern and climate-responsive environment construction is proposed for the upper suburb site. A diversified agriculture which sees the tangerine as its fulcrum provides the opportunity for local farmers to redeem land rights, improve productivity, and increase income.
