The main reason for the low price of water in several cities

20th, the Shanghai Composite Index closed at 3266.92 points, rose 77.18 points, or 2.24%, the water sector as a whole ranked first in the industry, of which, Hongcheng water industry, Wuhan Holdings, South China Sea Development, the first shares of 4 trading, pioneering environmental protection, Qianjiang Water conservancy, etc. also ranked in the forefront.　　Analysts said that the 20th water sector strengthened, with the Chinese water industry to increase the news has a direct relationship. Since the end of last year, almost all of China's cities have set off a wave of rising water prices. Especially in the last two months, including Shanghai, Tianjin, Shenyang, Guangzhou, Nanjing and other large and medium-sized cities to hold water price hike hearings.　　Many other cities are also in the preparation stage. Since January 1 this year, Guangzhou tap water Prices, April 1, Nanjing, the increase in water price; April 27, Shanghai held a price adjustment hearing; May 10, Beijing said it would adjust the comprehensive water price.　　It can be said that the rise in water prices in most cities in the country is basically the general trend. At present, there are many unreasonable places in water price composition. Experts said that the current China's water resources fee collection standards generally low. In this way, the scarcity of water resources and the cost of water environment management can not be reflected, which leads to the serious waste of water resources and the lack of effective governance.　　It is necessary to use price lever to raise water price appropriately, so that people save water. "In fact, water prices rise, on the one hand because the current water price is still low, water supply enterprises are facing a certain operating pressure, price restraint mechanism can not play the ideal." On the other hand, for a long time, the structure of water resources is unreasonable, it is scarce to any situation, the cost of water environment management is deficient.　　Gao Huiqing, a member of the National Information Center Expert Committee. It is understood that, compared with developed countries, China's water prices in the lower level.　　The national average water price is only 1.4 yuan/CU m, sewage treatment fee is only 0.4 to 0.5 yuan/cu m, the provincial capital of the city average water supply is only 2.4 yuan/cubic meters, sewage treatment costs only 0.6 yuan/cubic meters. The relevant report pointed out that the current water resources fee collection standard formation mechanism is not reasonable, some areas of water resources fee collection standard is too low, and even some areas just token levy.　　such as Jiangxi Province, the residents living water resources fee of 0.01 yuan/cubic meters, industrial water intake of 0.015 yuan/cubic meters, can not play the role of economic lever adjustment. Therefore, the low levy standard of water resources is an important problem that affects and hinders the implementation effect of water resources fee collection system, if the solution is not good, it will weaken the power of water resources levy management, and it is difficult to realize the goal of water resources fee system.　　Gao Huiqing stressed.　　In addition, water is non-renewable resources, if the maintenance of low prices will lead to economic development in the resource consumption is very large, more and more unsustainable. In fact, the rise in water prices as early as the second half of last year there is discussion. Some argue that, if not for the financial crisis, water prices are likely to have been raised in place by the end of last year. As a result, the vast majority of residents have been prepared for the rise in water prices. In the opinion of experts, the water of Chinese residentsSpending is still small compared to total household expenditure.　　Rising water prices should not have much impact on the standard of living of the majority of the population. National Development and Reform Commission price division, said: "China's water price standard is 36, according to the national regulations 2012 reached 106 standards." Why raise the standard? The most important reason is that our Chinese raw water is more and more polluted. Therefore, a lot of additional expenditure to be increased, one is the improvement of water quality, one is the improvement of services. The cost of this service will eventually have to go into the price. "Water is a necessaries of life and a common commodity." Reasonable water price, must reflect the water of these two characteristics. As one of the 13 countries with the most shortage of water, the necessity of saving water goes without saying, water price is not indisputable fact, therefore, it is necessary to use the price lever to regulate.
