Abstract: Based on the challenge and problem faced in the development of water saving agriculture, and the world development tendency and the civil technology demand, the authors put forward five strategies for developing water saving agriculture including the comprehensive water saving strategy, technological innovation and integration strategy, industry supporting strategy, visional water development strategy, and the basic establishment construction strategy. At the same time, the authors suggest that the water saving agriculture research should emphasize the biological water saving technology, unusual water resources development technology, dryland water saving agriculture, water saving irrigation technology and product, and the regional development mode of water saving.
