After long-term investigations and repeated arguments, China's first "National Comprehensive Water Resources Plan" has finally come out, and it has recently been approved by the State Council. The “National Comprehensive Water Resources Plan†puts forward the mid-to-long-term water-saving goal of reducing the water consumption of 10,000 yuan of gross domestic product (GDP) by 50% in comparison with 2008 by 2020, and then reducing it by 2030. %.
The "National Comprehensive Water Resources Plan" was led by the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Water Resources in 2002. It is also associated with the Ministry of Land and Resources, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Ministry of Agriculture, the State Forestry Administration and the China Meteorological Administration. Nationally organized preparations. At the start of the preparation of the “National Comprehensive Water Resources Plan,†the State Development Planning Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Water Resources, and the State Environmental Protection Administration jointly issued the “Circular on Further Promoting the Reform of Urban Water Supply Pricingâ€. The request requires that cities above the jurisdiction of cities across the country must implement a stepped water price by the end of 2003, while other cities must implement a stepped water price before the end of 2005.
Two documents were launched at the same time, but today the results are very different. Since the “ladder price†began to be advocated, there has always been a “wolf is comingâ€. On the one hand, there is a serious shortage of water resources. The people, the government, the water company, etc. have strongly advocated and held hearings to discuss; on the one hand, they have not been able to discuss it. Enter the real implementation stage.
Water resources are basic natural resources and strategic economic resources that affect the national economy and the people's livelihood. They are important controlling elements of the ecological environment and are also an integral part of the national comprehensive national strength. However, our country is a large water-scarce country with a total freshwater resources of 2.8 trillion cubic meters, accounting for 6% of the global water resources. Its average per capita is only 2,200 cubic meters, which is only 1/4 of the world's average, and it is 13 per capita water in the world. One of the poorest resources. The statistics of per capita water resources owned by countries in 153 countries around the world show that China ranks 121th. The per capita annual water consumption in the world is about 8000 cubic meters, while in China it is only 2,100 cubic meters. By 2030, this figure may be reduced to 1,750 cubic meters. According to the “Comprehensive National Water Resources Planâ€, since the 1980s, 49 out of the 514 rivers in the northern region have undergone a typical survey; in the 20th century, since the 1950s, the country’s lakes have been larger than 10 square kilometers. Among them, 230 lakes have shrunk and the area has shrunk by about 15%; the total area of ​​groundwater overdrafting areas in China is nearly 190,000 square kilometers, of which the area of ​​serious overdrafts is about 72,000 square kilometers, and the current annual over-recovery amount is about 11.7 billion. cubic meter.
In front of such grim reality, “stepped water price†is an effective means to solve the sustainable development of residents' water use. Its purpose is to use the principle of economic leverage to link the amount of water consumption with personal economic benefits, so as to realize the general public's awareness of water saving and action festival. water. However, in practice, the “water price ladderâ€, a water-saving measure with broad prospects, cannot be implemented for various reasons. Although metering equipment has always been a huge impediment to the implementation of 'stepped water price', it is not unrealizable. According to a survey conducted by the reporter, a 'stepped water meter' oriented to 'stepped water price' has already been put on the market, and the manufacturer Ningbo Longkang Intelligent Instrument Co., Ltd. was in this year's 5 The water meter selection conference of the month has shown this product to the industry. Several advantages such as timed meter reading, real-time meter reading, remote data transmission, blind spots with no reading and no built-in power supply have been won at the conference. Experts are highly recognized, and its overall technical solution to the “water price ladder†breaks through the multiple obstacles to the implementation of the “water price ladder,†and is therefore praised by experts as a powerful tool for promoting “water price ladderâ€.
