Shortage of drinking water resources in Zhejiang Province 15% of water sources are substandard

On July 25, the fourth meeting of the Standing Committee of the 12th Provincial People's Congress was held to hear and review the implementation of laws and regulations on the protection of drinking water sources According to the reports of the provincial government and the inspection team, the current situation of water environment protection in our province is still severe, facing the dual challenges of resource shortage and water quality deterioration There are still 1 million people living in this land of fish and rice relying on the well water of shantangxi, which makes it more difficult to meet the demand of drinking water resources At present, there are 718 main centralized drinking water sources above the township level in the province, serving 40.7121 million people, accounting for 78.9% of the province's permanent population That is to say, even with more than 30000 rural water sources, there are still 1 million people in the province who need to draw water directly from mountain ponds, streams and shallow wells It is estimated that by 2015, the province will still lack 1.1 billion cubic meters of water Of the 718 centralized water sources, 668 have been classified as protected areas, and 50 are not classified as protected areas or are not reasonably classified It is reported that there are quite a number of residents living in more than one third of the drinking water source protection areas in the province There are 557000 urban population, 2577000 rural population and nearly 900000 Mu cultivated land in the primary and secondary protection areas of 91 county-level and 526 typical villages and towns in the province The phenomenon of littering, sewage dumping, manure heaping and livestock running in many places is still visible It is more worrying that the surface water sources of most rivers in our province can not meet the quality requirements of drinking water sources According to the typical survey of 617 water sources by the environmental protection department, nearly 15% of the water sources are not up to the standard; by 2012, 99 drinking water sources above the county level in the province have reached the standard rate of 86.7%, 13 of which have exceeded the standard Jiaxing City, in particular, does not have a qualified source of drinking water There are 108 sewage treatment plants in cities above the county level in the province, and the sewage treatment rate is 86.2% in cities above the county level 85.3% of the towns in the province have built sewage treatment facilities, and the sewage treatment rate is 42.7% "That is to say, at least half of the town's sewage is not treated." Xue Taojing, member of the Standing Committee of the provincial people's Congress, said In addition, there are still about 100 illegal enterprises or facilities in Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Ningbo, Huzhou and other places "There is no mention in the report of strong measures to be taken in this regard It is hoped that the government departments will resolutely shut down, ban or relocate " Feng Ming, deputy director of the Standing Committee of the provincial people's Congress, said For the next step, Xiong Jianping, vice governor, said that Zhejiang promoted the establishment of qualified and standardized drinking water source protection zones By 2015, the water quality standard rate of centralized drinking water source areas above the county level will reach more than 90%, and the water quality standard rate of centralized drinking water source areas in villages and towns will reach 75% Most of the counties (cities, districts) in Hangzhou do not have standby water sources, so there is a great potential safety hazard In Fuyang City of Qiantang River Basin, there are more than 600 large-scale farms in nearly three towns, and more than 370 tons of aquaculture wastewater are directly discharged into the water system every day In recent years, there have been a large number of garbage dead pigs drifting in the upper reaches of Qiantang River This year, Fuchunjiang dam has fished more than 3000 tons of dead pigs The drinking water in the main urban area of Hangzhou is from Qiantang River and Tiaoxi, which are greatly affected by the upstream There is Lin'an Industrial Zone in the upstream of Tiaoxi, Deqing multi-functional zone in the downstream, and three water plant intakes in the middle The risk of water pollution is very high In 2011, the pollution of drinking water in Tiaoxi was caused by excessive toxic organic compounds In 2012, Jiaxing did not have a qualified drinking water source, and the water quality assessment of cross-section of Jiaxing urban area was unqualified Most counties (cities, districts) in Quzhou do not have standby water sources, so there is a great potential safety hazard Oujiang Shangen water source protection zone, Wenzhou's standby water source, is located in the downstream of Oujiang River In recent years, some of the original local sewage enterprises have gradually transferred to the industrial park in the upstream of Oujiang River, and the downstream water quality protection is becoming more and more difficult Youyi reservoir, an important source of drinking water in Taishun County, covers 97% of the lake area in Shouning County, Fujian Province However, due to the exploitation of stone mines in upstream towns, the manganese content in drinking water in Taishun County has exceeded the standard for many times Shanxi reservoir area in Wenzhou needs to supply drinking water for millions of people, but there are a large number of people living in the upper reaches Due to the limited conditions and insufficient ecological compensation in the reservoir area, the production transformation is extremely difficult, and the planting and breeding industry is still the leading industry The local people are lack of consciousness and enthusiasm for the protection of drinking water source, and the treatment of agricultural pollution and livestock and poultry breeding pollution is very difficult In 2012, the water quality assessment of the interface section of Yueqing City was unqualified The water quality of Jinhua River, Dongyang River, Wuyi River, Puyang River and other tributaries in the upper reaches of Qiantang River of Jinhua is affected by the industrial pollution along the bank all the year round, and the water quality detected in the section is between class IV and class v The Pujiang section of Puyang river is the most polluted section of Qiantang River The lower five types of waters account for two-thirds of the total length of the reach In 2012, Pujiang County and Yongkang City failed to pass the water quality assessment of the interface section.
