(Two Sessions Express) To solve the problem of chaos in rivers and lakes, CPPCC members suggest that the county governor’s “water basin” accountability system
China News Service, Beijing, March 11 (Zhang Jing) “Since the implementation of the long-term system of rivers and lakes, the appearance of rivers and lakes has improved significantly and the quality of water has constantly improved. During the National Congress of the People, Huo Weiping, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, vice chairman of the Gansu Provincial Committee of the Political Consultative Conference, a chairman of the Committee Gansu Provincial of the Chinese Democratic Revolution and the director of the Gansu Water Resources Department said: “The problem of chaos still exists.”
For example, Huo Weiping said unannounced visits from the Central Ecological and Environmental Protection Supervision Team found that individual sites emphasized approval and oversight of supervision, GDP and ecology, and the immediate and long-term; some river basins exceeded the allowable scope for sand mining, sand washing, direct discharge of sewage and theft. River sand extraction; some companies are even more deliberate, trying to dispose of waste, hiding their warehouses and burying hidden pipes in deep mountains or river banks to secretly discharge sewage and waste, which seriously threatens the safety of drinking water, destroys the environment ecological environment and harms the interests of the population.

The system along rivers and lakes is an institutional innovation to strengthen the management and protection of rivers and lakes. The chiefs of rivers and lakes of the counties and municipalities are in the “border post” and perform the function of “peripheral nerve”. In order to ensure the implementation of the long river and lake system, Huo Weiping suggested, learn from the “rice bag” governor’s accountability system and the “vegetable basket” mayor’s accountability system, and implement the system of “watershed” county governor responsibility.
Huo Weiping said that the establishment of a blacklist system for polluting counties (companies) will make it difficult for those who are lucky enough to do their best and pay a high price. At the same time, the establishment of strict river and lake management and protection rewards and punishments will provide positive incentives, set benchmarks, and strengthen demonstration and leadership. They also restrain the reverse, constitute a deterrent and force the implementation of responsibilities.
In addition, strengthen county wetland protection and rural river and lake management, integrate various types of county-level wading pools, based on regional watershed characteristics, take watershed water system As a context, take measures for local conditions, scientifically plan and step by step promote the management of the aquatic environment and the construction of scenic water areas, and implement The connectivity of the water system and comprehensive improvement projects will form a system water cycle system that connects water systems, complements rivers and reservoirs, drains smoothly, and uses efficient water circulation. In order to improve the natural environment of aquatic organisms and promote the coordinated development of ecological water civilization and ecological industry.

Huo Weiping stated that the county-level river chief should be responsible for making good use of the “basin water”, insisting on using the water to determine the city, the water to determine the land, the water to determine the population and water to determine production. with water resources as the most rigid constraint. We will implement a dual control action for the total amount and intensity of water use in the watershed area, especially in counties and districts. For areas that reach or exceed the carrying capacity of water resources, a policy of restricting water intake permits will be implemented and water consumption will be assigned to households and companies. Continue to promote the reform of water prices for domestic and industrial use, implement the full amount of water control and the system of progressive increase of prices above the quota, improve water efficiency and promote the sustainable use of resources hydric.
He also said that it is necessary to continue promoting the comprehensive reform of agricultural water prices, implement full control of agricultural water use and quota management, and establish and improve the agricultural water price formation mechanism and the subsidy mechanism. precise. Actively and constantly promote the confirmation of water rights, cultivate and develop water markets, conduct inter-county water rights transactions, promote the transfer of water resources from low-efficiency areas to high-efficiency areas, improve system standards saving water, strengthening water – saving supervision and management, and making water conservation truly a prerequisite for the development, use, protection, allocation and dispatch of water resources.
