China rolled out its water resource tax pilot program in nine provinces and regions across the country on Friday in a bid to boost ongoing conservation efforts.

The new system, effective from Dec. 1, aims to strengthen the management and protection of water resources by imposing tariffs on enterprises and individuals for excessive water usage,

Water scarcity is a serious problem in China, which is home to 20 percent of the global population but has just 7 percent of the world’s freshwater resources, according to the United Nations. The problem is compounded in provinces like Hebei, in the country’s north, which thrives on its water-guzzling industrial and agricultural output. The province only has 307 cubic meters of water per capita — about one-seventh the national average.

The expansion of the water conservation tax pilot comes after an 18-month trial in Hebei that started in July 2016. The government says this initiative dropped water consumption by 460 million tons.
