Abstract

With the development of the economy in China,water pollution problems have become increasingly prominent and have received extensive attention in academic circles. At present,the environmental regulation on water pollution is still confronted with several dilemmas,for instance,the externalities triggered by "race to the bottom" of local governments,the spillover of water pollution governance and the uncertainty of water pollution control. By combing the mechanism of government environmental regulation, we found that the government environmental regulation still faces such major difficulties as the local government departmentalism is difficult to eliminate, the problem of information asymmetry and the regulatory capture are still not, iceable then puts forward that these plights can be effectively solved through implementing the river chief system,improving the social supervision of water pollution control.

Highlights

  • In 2016, the ministry of land and resources carried out groundwater quality monitoring at 6124 monitoring sitesin 225 prefecture-level administrative regions in 31 provinces.The evaluation results showed that the monitoring points of water quality of,excellent, good, medium, poor and very poor grade accounted for 10.1%, 25.4%, 4.4%, 45.4%, 14.7% and 60% of the groundwater quality in the monitoring range is poor, indicating that the government has increased the policy and capital investment in the treatment of water pollution control in recent year, the academic research on it is increasing, the situation of water pollution is still serious

  • Yu Guanghui and others proposed that in the process of environmental law enforcement in China, there was a problem of “regulatory capture” that was characterized by lax environmental law enforcement. He believed that by regulating discretion and strengthening the responsibility system of environmental protection objectives, It can be cracked by introducing environmental citizen litigation in each environmental single-line law;According to the profit-seeking nature of enterprises and the consideration of political interests and economic interests by local government officials, Long Shuo and others discussed the mechanism of local environmental pollution caused by regulatory failure, and proposed that the central government should be supervised by the supervisory agency and the public

  • Local governments within the statutory scope, comprehensive resources to pursue the maximization of economic benefits is understandable, the speed of economic development affects the performance of local government work, and affects the employment, income and social stability of residents, which deserves the attention of local leaders, but economic growth at the expense of the environment is not sustainable and should not be promoted.The localism of some local governments in the basin has aggravated the risk of collusion between government and enterprises, and relaxed the supervision of water pollution in the administrative region

Summary

The current situation of water pollution

In 2016, the ministry of land and resources carried out groundwater quality monitoring at 6124 monitoring sites (including 1,000 state-level monitoring sites)in 225 prefecture-level administrative regions in 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities).The evaluation results showed that the monitoring points of water quality of ,excellent, good , medium, poor and very poor grade accounted for 10.1%, 25.4%, 4.4%, 45.4%, 14.7% and 60% of the groundwater quality in the monitoring range is poor, indicating that the government has increased the policy and capital investment in the treatment of water pollution control in recent year, the academic research on it is increasing, the situation of water pollution is still serious. The basin is a region with strong spatial integrity and high correlation. The natural elements are closely connected, and the upper and middle and lower reaches and the dry tributaries are mutually constrained and mutually influential. Water is the source of life, polluting its easy, and the effective management of water pollution in the basins with large regional differences is like the difficulty of boarding the road. Compared with the intuitive air pollution, water pollution is more recessive. Etc,seriously endanger the production and life of residents and bring great challenges to local government emergency work. The water pollution problem has the basic characteristics of pollution form diversity, interaction factor interaction, pollution degree dynamics, and the related complex problems induced by it, which poses a new challenge to river basin management
