The drinking water in rural China has some problems, such as poor protection of water source, backward purification technology and equipment, high leakage rate of water supply network, high risk of secondary pollution, and imperfect operation and management mechanism. How to improve the water quantity and quality assurance ability of drinking water from the source to the tap has become an urgent problem to be solved. This study summarizes the selection of rural water supply mode, key technologies and applications of conventional and unconventional water supply, and long-term management measures, and compares the water supply mode of northwest and southeast China, summarizes successful experience according to different regional characteristics, and strengthens the leading demonstration. In order to realize the long-term operation of rural safe drinking water project, the relevant countermeasures and suggestions are put forward.
