In late May, reporters interviewed both sides of the Yellow River in the upper reaches of Gansu, Ningxia, and Shaanxi, testifying to the pollution of the Yellow River's water and the danger of increasing. With the increase in the level of industrialization of the city, the Yellow River Basin pollution has been point and non-point source pollution, living pollution and industrial emissions superimposed on a variety of old and new pollution and secondary pollution formation **** exist with each other in a complex and grim situation, the Yellow River pollution level has far exceeded the Huaihe River. Pollution of the Yellow River northwest and north of about 160 million urban and rural residents suffer, the most y victimized is the problem of agriculture, rural areas and farmers.
Qinghai, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, along the Yellow River, energy and heavy chemical industries, non-ferrous metals, paper and highly polluting industrial enterprises, sewage discharges increased year by year trend. Control of pollution is seriously lagging behind, sewage treatment rate is low, many enterprises failed to achieve discharge standards, wastewater treatment, some enterprises quietly lead to an annual increase in the amount of wastewater discharged into the Yellow River repeatedly. With the accelerated process of the country's western development, the old high-pollution has not been completely managed to introduce a new high-pollution projects in the western region. Some eastern polluting enterprises have flocked to the west, exacerbating the pollution of the Yellow River.
According to the "China Environmental Statistics Yearbook", in 2004, the Yellow River Basin discharged 395 million tons of wastewater, an increase of 1.38 million tons over the previous year, 2000, and discharged the main pollutant COD accounted for 13.3% of the country's total annual emissions.
The farm is located in the upper reaches of the Yellow River Ningxia irrigation water? Almost all from the Yellow River. In recent years, Ningxia and the upper reaches of a large number of high-energy consumption, highly polluting enterprises have begun construction and put into production, large does not meet the emission standards of industrial wastewater discharged directly into the Yellow River tributary canals, irrigated areas of a portion of the area is similar to the sewage in the individual meeting irrigation.
Industrial water pollutants, polluted water and agro-ecological damage, resulting in some areas of the Yellow River Basin, sewage-irrigated crops yield reduction or even crop failure. Last year, Linchang Village, Jiexiu City, pollution Endeavour watered land, resulting in 200 acres of corn and poplar trees died in 2002 in Heping County, Qinghai Province, Haidong District, the nearby village of thousands of acres of wheat, cited irrigation Huangshui River pollution was burned alive. Villagers told reporters: "Now cited Huangshui water to water the land, need to look at the river water, pouring water dare groundwater, half of the seedlings were burned.
According to the Ministry of Water Resources, the Yellow River Conservancy Commission experts estimate that the Yellow River irrigation area along the Ministry of the Yellow River has developed to 11?00000 hectares, accounting for 90% of the total water consumption of the Yellow River water, the Yellow River water pollution not only caused a decline in the quality of the crop, will be a number of farmland water conservancy facilities will be scrapped, the loss of agriculture has been caused by up to 330000000000 yuan, the highest in the year.
Sewage treatment plants, the Yellow River, the province has built 25 sewage treatment plants, daily treatment capacity of 217 million tons, while the actual daily sun only 86 processing capacity of 800,000 tons, most of the cities in the watershed sewage treatment rate of 13%, lagging behind the national average of 13%.
Gansu Environmental Protection Bureau, Zhao Weimin said, by the Yellow River through the city, however, only the capital city of Lanzhou City, the sewage network penetration rate of only 12.2%. The smaller sewage treatment and collection capacity is far from enough to cope with the increasing urban sewage, resulting in the Yellow River outfall ditch is densely populated, and a large amount of domestic sewage is directly discharged into the Yellow River.
The reporter investigated and found that the Yellow River Basin lags behind the construction and operation of urban sewage treatment plants, the construction of sewage treatment plants in the Yellow River, the vast majority of local governments are not highly motivated, sewage treatment plants to implement a market-oriented mechanism to slow down the Yellow River Basin urban sewage treatment fees, overdue fees, charged surface is not wide, and some areas are not even close. Popular urban sewage treatment plant pipe network mismatch phenomenon, the actual treatment capacity is much smaller than the design requirements, water quality there are some sewage treatment plant has in fact become a sewage treatment field.
Shanxi Province, Weinan City, in the heart of the city injected into the Yellow River, the Wei River, the most downstream of the Wei River from here to start emptying at the beginning of last year, Weinan City, an investment of 120 million yuan, the construction of the eastern part of the city's sewage treatment plant has been completed and running less than, but only a month of trial operation has been shut down. Every day the formation of nearly 50,000 tons of sewage treatment plant in the city, but it is still untreated discharged into the river, sewage treatment projects "sunshine"
Edge of the Weihe River in Shaanxi Province, Baoji, Xi'an and other cities, Shaanxi Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau Deputy Director Li Xiaolian, at least we have basically established a sewage treatment plant, but there is idle! or not eaten.
Fix water into the village, irrigation poison, dirty water Yellow River into the belly "anti-
Now, rice transplanting season is coming to an end Baiyin Longzhen folk music together, the upper reaches of the Yellow River, villagers every day anxiously stand on their own neighboring rice paddies villagers on behalf of the folk music and a few villages around the Gold Mountain Yellow River water irrigation, but the tears of the villagers almost every year, there are two years of watering! Burning seedlings. late May, the villagers have been the third time this year, the first two plant seedlings were burned flooded with thick foam water village folk music Wangtai Zhenliang said, rice has been their rations and financial resources failed in the past several varieties of planting rice farmers in the village dug a fish pond for fish farming, last fall cited the Yellow River turtles have been, more than 100,000 yuan in losses. "Bad fish, eyeing the vitality of the rice, how do we live? Wang said: "Too cold.
Entering the Yellow River in Lanzhou, Baiyin, converging a large number of Baiyin City, smelting, coking, chemical enterprises and sewage treatment, through the town of Long, Baiyin City, Beiwan Township, Jingyuan County, involving more than a dozen villages along the village of the local villagers not only rely on the Yellow River water to drink directly after a simple precipitation of the Yellow River water River pots of migratory diarrhea, headache, and other symptoms after the frequent use of the white chunks or drinking water salty weight of water, the individual Total days a week, home storage cellar, you can still see the floating oil slick floating on the water surface. Village people like to drink rainwater. "Jingyuan County, Dalu Township Zhuangkou village villagers Duan Xingping said.
Reporters from the road Jingyuan County township health centers, clinics, several villages of drinking water Yellow River Township Road, gastrointestinal disorders, headache is a very common cause of strange diseases identified and drinking water, but who have not heard of the test water quality. Cold treatment, our investigation, it is unclear headache, diarrhea, diarrhea repeatedly with antibiotics until not far away. The military said doctors in rural areas.
Along the Yellow River, farmers become directly drinking water from the Yellow River abnormal "high-risk groups" in recent years, Linyi County, Shanxi Niudu village on the pollution of the water environment, 40 years old? This year, 60-year-old villagers, suffering from cerebral thrombosis, paralysis and cancer has been increasing year by year. Villagers in a similar complaint, because the water was contaminated in June last year, more than 420,000 abnormal deaths, but also suffered from a strange disease 28. Jinshan Village, Yinlong Township, surgery center elementary school students told reporters that similar products in the 28 boys, 20 boys with white hair, there are a lot of students like him, often stomach aches, headaches.
BR /> on the one hand, the farmers yellow sewage hazards, on the other hand, excessive application of fertilizers, pesticides lead to rural non-point source pollution, Yellow River water pollution has become the most difficult to manage the hard core in the next few years, if you do not take effective measures by crop cultivation and animal husbandry non-point source pollution, water pollution, "the contribution rate! "will be increasingly prominent Zhu Zhaoliang academician said.
/>, the Yellow River, shirking data of a variety of downstream busy governance, the upper reaches of busy sewage; strict control of the mainstream, tributary sewage easily ... The reporter learned that in the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River and its tributaries interviews, as a "strange circle", these phenomena, curbing the effectiveness of pollution control in the basin. Reporters interviewed some of the environmental protection, water experts and local government leaders called for the Yellow River Basin "harmonious pollution control mechanism" Mother River "cry foul

Wugong County, Shaanxi Province, Oriental Paper Group is China's largest paper company, is the world's largest paper company, is the world's largest paper company, is the world's largest paper company, is the world's largest paper company, is the world's largest paper company. The largest paper company, is the world's largest source of industrial pollution for a month in 2005, the State Environmental Protection Administration will be listed in the first batch of listed environmental violations. Oriental Paper Group Co., Ltd. Weihe River pollution in mid-May, the reporter came to Wugong County, found that its territory of the Weihe River black water flowing in the territory of the Weihe River in Wugong WeiHui canal, paint the river water stinks, foam, water and foam above the surface of the surface of about 1 meter. Along the way told reporters that the Oriental Paper Group was ordered to stop treatment, Wugong County paper factories caused by pollution reduced a lot, but the upstream sewage Baoji City, paper companies continue to waste water treatment.
Wugong County Environmental Protection Bureau, Xu Yaohua told reporters, Baoji City, upstream water pollution problems, they have repeatedly by the competent authorities to coordinate with the relevant authorities in Baoji City, but with little success. Xu Yaohua said: "The water is black and smelly, people complain about the top exert pressure really stick to the environmental protection department's folder in the middle, who wants to carry the infamous scolding? I will come up with water, a little bit of Wugong County Environmental Protection Bureau also said we can not go to any coordination of Lanzhou City, deputy mayor of Ma Baoji City Qiming interview reporter, industrial wastewater and domestic sewage pollution, Lanzhou, the Yellow River, the government spent a lot of effort to coordinate to solve the problem, the effect is more obvious, but the long-standing problem of IV water upstream Huangshui River water is how to deal with the government feel very tricky.
The same pollution monitoring data big
Pollution control pollution "family property" first, you have to find out, but in the interview, the reporter found that the two main water conservancy and environmental protection departments of the Yellow River pollution monitoring data is completely different. State Environmental Protection Administration data show that in 2004, China's environmental statistics yearbook, accounting for about 40% of the polluted wastewater emissions of 39.5 million tons of industrial wastewater in the Yellow River Basin accounted for? The total amount of about 60% of the total at the end of 2004, the issuance of the Yellow River that "the total amount of discharge limitations, the Yellow River Basin wastewater discharge of 42.7 billion tons / year, accounting for about 69% of the industrial wastewater and domestic sewage *** accounted for 31% of the total. "Comparison can be seen, the proportion of industrial wastewater and sewage, these two sectors have a "distinctive". Therefore, the focus of these two sectors is different, the development of pollution control programs in the Yellow River Basin.
Yellow numbers are manifold, and it is based on the end of this year? The reporter interviewed experts in various fields. Agreed that the country should unify the Yellow River Basin water pollution monitoring department, management and release of data to lawyers departmental interests should be discarded.
Watershed issues, the need for integrated management
Pollution of the Yellow River Basin shows an expanding trend, cross-administrative water pollution is a prominent problem. The main regional economic and social development, coordination of sustainable use of watershed resources considerations? Grass-roots environmentalists suggest that the state should strengthen the planning and legislative work on the water environment, considering watershed management, integrated water resources management, unified supervision, coordinated solutions to rise to the watershed management, regional management, in order to solve the departmental tug-of-war, legislation fragmentation, problem solving.
The reporter interviewed some of the environmental protection, water conservancy and water environment experts, all the contradictions and conflicts of interest that exist in the Yellow River pollution control, watershed construction "harmonious pollution control mechanism" prescription ":" Yellow River ". As soon as possible to develop, establish the Yellow River, water pollution prevention and control law and other relevant norms and management, environmental protection and pollution prevention and control of water resources in the Yellow River Basin of the reasonable mechanism of imperfect laws and regulations, the establishment of a unified pollution monitoring, management and information dissemination system, to avoid multi-departmental joint interests resulting in tug-of-war, supervision is not in place, the province's river system and dual control, the establishment of the total amount of pollutants control, municipal and county exit cross section Water quality, water supply system, to strengthen the Yellow River water resources protection and environmental protection of the unified supervision, the establishment of total quota control, water environment quality indicator evaluation system, especially to the local government performance appraisal indicators, effective sanctions against illegal discharge of public participation mechanism, strengthen the cross-section of water quality monitoring and assessment, increase the pressure on the government and enterprises, while strengthening the environmental access and elimination system, increase industrial pollution prevention and control; upstream Pollution control, limited funding, prioritization to ensure orderly and effective control of pollution to ensure that some rules to avoid the spread of chili peppers do not spend money or spend a lot of money to receive a slight"
