In this paper, the characteristics of the water resources protection mode for the Songliao Basin are analyzed. Experiences in water resources protection and monitoring regarding infrastructure construction, applications of new technologies, and establishment of water resources protection and management systems are summarized. The infrastructure construction in the basin has been enhanced in terms of water resources monitoring capability, information systems, and aquatic ecological civilization. 3S technology, Bayes technology, and the water quality model for the main stream of the Songhua River have been used for water quality monitoring and management in key water function zones, buffer zones at provincial boundaries, and sewage discharge outlets into rivers. Additionally, an efficient mechanism has been built for water resources protection and management in the basin.
