Shijiazhuang is located in the North China Plain and has a temperate continental monsoon climate, with a low average annual precipitation of about 400 millimeters. This figure may not seem high compared to other cities, but it has a profound effect on Shijiazhuang's development.

First, the lack of precipitation has led to regional droughts, which have seriously affected the development of local agriculture. Because the soil in most areas of Shijiazhuang belongs to birch forest soil, it lacks sufficient moisture in case of insufficient precipitation, resulting in crops not growing properly. Therefore, the Shijiazhuang government has been increasing its investment in agricultural water and taking measures to safeguard water resources for farmland.

Secondly, the low annual precipitation has also made Shijiazhuang's water resources more precious, so the Shijiazhuang government and citizens have been actively investing in water resources and promoting water-saving technology and living habits to ensure that the city's water use is reasonable and legal and that citizens have enough water for their daily lives.

Finally, Shijiazhuang's low precipitation also limits the development of ecosystems within the city. But while taking care of the diverse needs of agriculture, water use, and ecology, the Shijiazhuang government is still looking for practical solutions to safeguard the city's ecosystem from many angles and hoping for better things in the future.
