China will accelerate research on key water conservancy technology, involving 42 projects this year, the Ministry of Water Resources said, according to The Xinhua News Agency reports.

But there are still many weaknesses in original innovation, basic research, cutting-edge technology research, and the efficiency of the innovation system", – said Water Resources Minister Li Guoying.
