Abstract: A thorough and systematic summary of the geological survey work and a scientific revelation of the characteristics and connotations of the Geological Survey+ economic development model has become one of the important contents of the current geological survey work in Zhaojue County. Based on the investigation and evaluation of the regional background conditions and resource and environmental conditions in Zhaojue County, and the principles of stratigraphic lithology and geomorphological types, the authors selected five typical areas of Zhaojue County to study the water resource development and economic development models. Five typical water resource development and economic development models were established, including “intermountain basin in clastic rock area” “intermountain basin in basalt area” “low and mid-mountain valley of erosion in clastic rock area” “middle and low mountain canyon of erosion and dissolution in carbonate rock area” and “Zhongshan valley of erosion in multiple lithology combination”. On this basis, combined with factors such as stratigraphic lithology, topography, water resource development and utilization, and economic development practice, the authors established the Geological Survey+ economic development model of Zhaojue County, and provided the specific construction path of the model (BOMP path). The BOMP path includes basis of geological and hydrogeological survey, guidance of economic development needs for the city, the main content of identifying resource and environmental endowments-determining production based on comprehensive conditions and scientific allocation of water resources- promoting production through water and efficient utilization of natural resources - promoting production through resources and utilizing policies effectively - with market driven development, and the main goal of promoting sustainable social development. The research results could provide new solutions and approaches for the economic development of underdeveloped ethnic areas and remote areas in central and western regions.
