Abstract: This paper discusses the optimization paths of disaster reduction in water companies in the face of extreme drought. This paper analyzes the current situation and constraints in a comprehensive way, and then explains the connotation of improving water use efficiency, ensuring water supply security, and achieving a win–win situation between the economy and the environment are made clear. Further, this paper proposes multi-dimension optimization paths, namely, technological innovation, optimization of resource scheduling, and public participation, and discusses the necessity of government policy support and interdepartmental cooperation. Finally, this paper puts forward the future research direction, that is, the application of new technologies, adjustment of strategies under climate change, localization of foreign experiences, which intend to provide theoretical reference and practical guidance for water companies to establish a scientific, efficient and sustainable drought strategy system.
