China's first provincial water environment compensation pilot Anhui start-up

Upstream water quality well downstream to compensate the Ministry of Environmental Protection organizes WAN Zhejiang provinces to monitor the transboundary water quality every year, and it is clear that the standard water quality of the provincial section of the two provinces is the basic standard for the annual stability. Anhui provides better water quality than basic standards, the compensation from Zhejiang to Anhui, inferior to the basic standard, by Anhui to Zhejiang to give compensation; reach the basic standard, neither side compensates this newspaper Hangzhou April 12 (Gu chun, Shingan) in order to speed up the water pollution control of Xin ' an river basin, to effectively protect Qiandaohu water environment security, the Ministry of Finance, Environmental Protection Department recently launched the implementation of the Xin ' an river basin water environment compensation pilot work, "Who pollution, who governance, who benefits, who compensation." This is China's first provincial cooperation between the governance, mutual supervision of environmental protection mechanism pilot.　　The first trial of Xin ' Anjiang River basin will provide reference for the implementation of ecological compensation mechanism in Dahe River basin nationwide.　　Upstream governance is not good, downstream miserable; downstream governance is not good, upstream equals a Xin Jiang River, the union of Zhejiang, Anhui two provinces of environmental protection. Xin ' Anjiang source from Anhui, is the Qiantang River, Zhejiang Province is also the largest Qiandaohu rivers. The twists and turns of Xin ' Anjiang water nourishes Zhejiang people and is the "Mother River" in Zhejiang province. And the 567.40 square kilometer Qiandaohu is not only the important drinking water source of Zhejiang Province, but also the strategic reserve sources in the whole Yangtze River Delta region, which is not only a famous tourist destination, but also undertakes the ecological functions of regulating microclimate, degrading pollution and maintaining biological diversity.　　Qiandaohu and Xin ' an river basin are not only the important ecological barrier of Zhejiang and Anhui provinces, but also the ecological security of the whole Yangtze delta area, and the strategic position is important. Xin ' Anjiang protection and governance, has been a heavy burden on the shoulders of the two provinces.　　Upstream management is not good, downstream miserable, downstream management is not good, upstream equals in vain. Located in the upstream of Anhui Huangshan and other areas, over the years in order to protect the ecological environment of the watershed, at the expense of their own development, the process of slowing industrialization and urbanization.　　According to incomplete statistics, Huangshan has invested more than 5 billion yuan in ecological management over the years. Zhejiang's emphasis on Qiandaohu is self-evident.　　After years of comprehensive renovation, the current Qiandaohu Chunan County Town Sewage treatment rate has reached about 80%, the county without a paper, pesticides, fertilizers, printing and dyeing, leather, pharmaceutical chemicals and other heavy polluting enterprises. But spent so much strength, but because the two provinces immersed in each other, coordination is not smooth, leading to Xin ' Anjiang water environmental protection and governance.　　Under this background, the pilot work of water environment compensation in Xin ' Anjiang basin was launched in 2011, which made the first step for the exploration of the joint management of China's trans-provincial waters. 2011 Temporary Arrangement of compensation funds 300 million yuan for water environmental protection and pollution control in Xin ' an river upstream according to Zhigang, deputy Director of Environmental protection Department of Zhejiang Province, the overall method of compensation mechanism has been basically finalized. From the state finance to Anhui Province to provide funds, Anhui Province to speed up the upstream water pollution control process, to promote the continuous improvement of water quality. At the same time, establish the compensation mechanism of water quality, according to Jiangyoufalie gradual compensationmechanism, the Environmental Protection Department is responsible for the organization of the Zhejiang Provinces of the transboundary water quality monitoring, clear to the two provinces provincial cross-section of the year stability to meet the standard water quality as the basic standard. Anhui offers the water quality better than the basic standard, which is compensated by Zhejiang to Anhui Province, which is inferior to the basic standard, and is compensated by Anhui to Zhejiang, and the basic standard is not compensated.　　At the same time, the specific compensation fund for the Xin ' Anjiang River basin Water environmental protection and water pollution control. According to the Ministry of Finance, the 2011 Provisional arrangements for compensation funds 300 million yuan earmarked for water environmental protection of Xin ' Anjiang upstream and pollution control. Among them, the central financial arrangement 200 million yuan, Zhejiang province arranges 100 million yuan.　　The current amount is being coordinated by the parties.　　Xin ' Anjiang also linked the economic transformation of two provinces. With financial support, the coordinated interaction between the two provinces will promote the transformation of the two provinces ' economy, not only make the traditional industry to the ecological agriculture, tourism and other green industries change, more conducive to prevent the pollution of the industrial gradient transfer, to eliminate the "first pollution after governance", "Environmental change economy" extensive economic development mode.
