Abstract: 南水北调工程是我国重要的战略性基础设施工程，对保障国家水安全、缓解区域水资源不均衡问题具有重要作用。本文基于复杂系统管理视角，系统地回顾了南水北调工程战略功能定位的演进历程，总结了工程建设运行的主要成效和经验。在此基础上，深入分析了新时期工程面临的复杂性挑战，提出了基于“人与自然和谐共生”的复杂整体性思维，论证了南水北调工程战略功能定位的复杂系统范式转移。最后，从组织、市场化机制、数智赋能等方面提出了新时期南水北调工程的发展变革策略。研究表明，南水北调工程正从单一水资源调配向生态文明工程转变，需要构建更加复杂的系统治理体系。本研究为新时期南水北调工程的功能拓展和高质量发展提供了理论支撑和实践指导。The South-to-North Water Diversion Project (SNWDP), as a critical strategic infrastructure initiative in China, plays a pivotal role in safeguarding national water security and alleviating regional water resource disparities. From a complex system management perspective, this study systematically reviews the evolutionary trajectory of the SNWDP’s strategic functional positioning, summarizes the primary achievements and operational experiences of the project’s construction. Furthermore, it conducts an in-depth analysis of the complexity challenges confronting the project in the new era, proposing a holistic “human-nature symbiosis” framework. The study demonstrates a paradigm shift in strategic functional positioning through complex system theory. Finally, transformative strategies are proposed encompassing organizational restructuring, market-oriented mechanisms, and digital-intellectual empowerment. The findings reveal that the SNWDP is transitioning from a singular water allocation system to an ecological civilization-oriented project, necessitating the establishment of a more sophisticated systemic governance architecture. This research provides both theoretical foundations and practical guidance for functional expansion and high-quality development of the SNWDP in the new era.
