Water activities and water-related leisure are increasingly becoming popular recreational choice. Recently, the River Chief Research Institute of Guangdong Research Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower (the "River Chief Research Institute" for short) officially released the "Research Report on the Hydrophilic Index Indicator System of Rivers and Lakes in Guangdong Province".

The report expands and innovates the concept of the hydrophilic index in the field of chemistry. It primarily evaluates waterfront public spaces such as blue paths, wetland parks, and water scenic areas. It contains an evaluation system with 23 indicators based on five criteria: hydrophilic comfort index, ecological health index, safety and convenience index, popularity and vitality index, and demonstration effect index. The report also includes a scoring standard table based on practical considerations.

The “hydrophilic index” quantitatively and objectively evaluates the ecological environment conditions of the evaluation objects, as well as the public's firsthand experience of various water activities. Compared to other professional indices such as water quality indices, the hydrophilic index emphasizes its "people-oriented" attribute. It translates various professional data evaluations into comprehensive evaluation levels that are easy to understand. The evaluation results can provide scientific guidance for the public's recreational activities, especially water-related leisure activities.

According to the introduction, during the preparation of the report, the River Chief Research Institute conducted several pilot evaluations of the hydrophilic index, combining research with holidays and social hotspots. The institute carried out and completed evaluations on the romantic hydrophilic index, sports hydrophilic index, camping hydrophilic index, and other studies. On December 8th, 2022, the first province-wide convenience map with camping hydrophilic as the theme also was released, titled " Camping Hydrophilic Map of Guangdong Province."

全国首创！《广东河湖亲水指数指标体系研究报告》发布

亲水乐水日益成为一种热门的休闲方式。近日，广东省水利水电科学研究院河长制研究院（以下简称“河长制研究院”）正式发布《广东河湖亲水指数指标体系研究报告》。

《报告》提出的“亲水指数”将化学领域的亲水指数概念进行拓展和创新，以碧道、湿地公园、水利风景区等滨水公共空间为主要评价对象，从亲水舒适指数、生态健康指数、安全便捷指数、人气活力指数、示范效应指数五个准则层，构建了共23个指标的评价体系，并结合实际制定了赋分标准表。

“亲水指数”对评价对象的生态环境条件、公众参与各类亲水活动的切身体验等进行定量、客观评价。与水质指数等其他专业指数相比，亲水指数更加突出“亲民”属性，将各类专业的数据评价映射转化成通俗易懂的综合评价等级，其评价结果可为公众休闲出行特别是亲水乐水提供科学指引。

据介绍，河长制研究院在《报告》编制过程中，还结合节假日及社会热点边研究边试点，组织了多次“亲水指数”试点应用评价，依次开展并完成了浪漫亲水指数、运动亲水指数、露营亲水指数等评价研究，2022年12月8日发布了首个以露营亲水为主题的全省性便民地图《广东露营亲水地图》。
