The relationship between humans and nature has always been a question that humans need to face and answer.With the continuous expansion and deepening of the ways and means of human social practice,humans have become more and more“comfortable” in using and transforming nature,which has also accelerated the continuous deterioration of human living environment and natural ecology.Many regions have experienced a series of ecological and environmental problems such as water shortage,water pollution,river stoppage,soil erosion,etc.The increasingly serious water crisis has become the important potential factor to curb human survival and development.The water crisis is an indisputable fact that mankind must face nowadays,which not only requires mankind to rethink the contradiction between human and water,but also needs to be considered and responded to in the context of ecological civilization construction.The emergence of the water crisis has forced humans to examine their own practices,the water crisis is not formed in a short period of time,to a large extent depends on the wrong way of human consumption and “development first,governance later” way of thinking.Based on the urgent reality of the relationship between water,nature and human beings,constructing water ethics and advocating an equal moral relationship between human beings and water in the context of building ecological civilization has become a necessary prerequisite for achieving human-water harmony.Water ethics is to expand the object of ethical concern from people to water.As an organic extension of ecological ethics,water ethics is not only a special application of ecological ethical principles in the field of water,but also a concern for moral rights from the perspective of safeguarding human rights.Water is not only the basic element of the ecological environment,but also contains the philosophical thinking and symbolic meaning of human beings on water.Whether in ancient Chinese and Western philosophical thought,there are philosophical debates that regard water as the origin of all things,or the value thinking of anthropocentrism and nature-centrism,all of which reflect the value of spiritual resources rich in water philosophy.The reverse driving force of economy,politics,culture and society affects the construction of the ecological system of water ethics value,it is vital to excavate the part of them that is valuable to the modern human development of water ethical theory as a realistic resource for building contemporary water ethics.Therefore,on the basis of discussing the value and importance of water ethics construction,this paper further proposes the moral principles that need to be followed and developed in water ethics,namely the principles of water security,water health and water justice.The construction and development of water ethics in the era of ecological civilization not only emphasizes the harmonious coexistence of human and nature,but also focuses on the solution of the real water crisis,which has become the title of water ethics philosophy for redefining the relationship between human and nature.The construction of water ethics should not only be theoretical exploration and research,but also should point to practical actions at the practical level.Water ethics not only requires that the moral emotions of saving water,loving water,protecting water,cherishing water,and enjoying water be deeply embedded in human hearts,but also applying water ethics to all aspects of water-related affairs such as water control,water using and water management.In order to effectively alleviate the contemporary reality of the water crisis,it is necessary to unite the joint efforts of government,business and individuals.In view of the ecological and environmental problems in water conservancy projects,efforts should be made to improve the capacity of ecological government construction.In response to the problem that enterprises in sewage treatment fail to fulfill their social responsibilities,it is necessary to enhance the ecological responsibility of enterprises and establish strict corporate ethics standards.In response to the problem of citizens wasting water resources and other bad habits in domestic water use,it is necessary to actively shape citizens’ water ecological ethics and strengthen water ecological ethics education to cultivate “ecological citizens”.To build an ecological civilization in the new era,we must consolidate the strength of all parties to provide inexhaustible development momentum for water ethics,and achieve the ultimate goal of human-water harmony and the harmony between human and nature.
