The rural population shrinkage caused by China’s imbalanced regional development poses challenges to infrastructure configuration and operation. Traditional centralized sewage treatment models face issues in cost-effectiveness, facility utilization rates, sustainable maintenance, necessitating the exploration of adaptive governance technologies under new demographic conditions. utilization-driven approach is recognized as an emerging method for domestic management. This study selects Heyang County, a representative agricultural area Guanzhong Plain, case study. Through mixed-methods research integrating qualitative quantitative approaches, we analyze correlation between Population Shrinkage Index (PSI) operational efficiency, investigate impact resident dynamics on patterns, establish theoretical “Source–Transmission–Sink” framework. Synthesizing local traditional practices with modern technological solutions, propose resource-oriented system adapted trends, comprising three technical components: source process reduction, transmission interception, sink attenuation. emphasizes adjusting green water (GWI) spatial configurations according village characteristics production–living–ecological spaces, forming hierarchical attenuation mechanism through circular pathways. facilitates transition from gray-infrastructure-dependent holistic pollution control systems resource recovery capabilities. findings provide foundations policymaking planning management, offering significant references governance.
