Is it a joy or a worry about the water treatment detonating the trillion-level market?
"Water pollution control detonates a trillion-level market." What is gratifying is that after the "Water Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan" (ie "Water Ten") was put forward, all localities took active actions, increased investment, and carried out serious control of water pollution. In particular, as the newly revised "Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People's Republic of China" will come into effect on January 1 next year, the water environment quality responsibilities of governments at all levels are more clearly defined, the total amount control system and the pollutant discharge permit system are implemented, and the The prevention and control of agricultural non-point source pollution and the punishment of illegal acts have made governments at all levels feel pressured and motivated. With such great investment and governance, it will not be long before people can use unpolluted water, which can greatly improve people's health.
The worry is that the total social investment of 4.6 trillion yuan is really heartbreaking. What is the concept of 4.6 trillion? It is equivalent to the sum of the two-year GDP of Shanghai. Just imagine, if we paid attention to the protection of the water environment earlier, how could we have invested so much money in water pollution control? Investing so much money may be able to improve the water environment, but no amount of money can make up for the pollution that has already caused the people. bodily injury. In addition, if the money is used for people's livelihood, such as building nursing homes, etc., how many people's pension problems will be solved!
No one wants to take the old road of "pollution first and treatment later". However, in reality, many local governments clearly know that many enterprises will cause harm to the local environment, but due to the pursuit of local economic development or the demand for GDP speed, there is no gap between economic development and environmental protection. Seek a minimum balance, spare no expense in "big projects, big projects", and allow those enterprises within the jurisdiction to pollute the environment without strict punishment. However, some enterprises are reluctant to invest in environmental protection due to their "profit-seeking" nature, so that the residential buildings of residents and the chimneys of enterprises that discharge waste gas in excess of the standard, the water source of the villagers and the river that the enterprise discharges waste water in excess of the standard are adjacent to each other.
The whole society invested 4.6 trillion in water control, which is a profound lesson. Guaranteeing clean water is a fundamental human right. Which industry and which company has created water pollution should be made to pay the price. Companies that create pollution should pay a remediation fee if the problem persists when it is discovered. If these companies have disappeared or cannot afford the associated losses, the government must be held accountable. Therefore, for the government, the sooner it gets involved, the better, otherwise it will "take the blame" for those polluting companies. Most importantly, water pollution must be curbed "from now on". The "Ten Water Regulations" have already been implemented, and it will definitely not work without sewage treatment. In the future, the assessment of this area will be stricter. It is conceivable that as long as the measures of the "Ten Water Regulations" are in place, after ten or twenty years, these measures will benefit future generations.
