Based on the ecology practice condition investigation and data analysis in five villages from five provinces of Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan and Gasu, the rural ecological practice and relevant water resource protection regulations implementation present situation were analyzed. In this paper, it was discussed that there was regional differences about water resource protection regulation and the importance of the rural farmers to “green water and green mountains” and “gold and silver mountains”, and the deeper problems of the ineffective transformation from “green water and green mountains” to “gold and silver mountains”. Accordingly, corresponding countermeasure proposal was put forward. To build an ecological civilization, we should lead economic benefits with ecological benefits, turn ecological environmental advantages into advantages in ecological agriculture, ecological industry, ecological tourism and other ecological economies, promote the transformation of green water and green mountains into gold and silver mountains, create a beautiful ecological environment for China's economic development, and create good material conditions for China's residents' income.
