Severe Groundwater Pollution
(Für diesen Bericht steht leider keine deutsche Übersetzung zur Verfügung.)
According to the Report on State of Environment in China in 2008 released by Ministry of Environment Protection, PRC, the pollution of groundwater in China is still very serious. Among the 409 water quality monitoring sections of 200 rivers from seven major water systems, Grade Ⅰ-Ⅲ accounted for 55.0%, while Grade Ⅳ-Ⅴ and worse than Grade Ⅴ accounted for 24.2% and 20.8%, respectively, in 2008. Yangtze River and Pearl River water systems showed overall good water quality; Songhua River water system was lightly-polluted; Yellow River, Huaihe River and Liaohe River water systems were moderately polluted; Haihe River water system was heavily polluted.
In addition, among 28 lake water quality monitoring sections, 14.3% of which satisfied Grade Ⅱ water quality criteria; 7.1% satisfied Grade Ⅲ criteria; Grade Ⅳ water quality lakes accounted for 21.4%; Grade Ⅴ water quality lakes accounted for 17.9%; and about 39.3% of lakes had water quality worse than Grade Ⅴ. The main pollution indicators for lakes are Total Nitrogen (TN) and Total Phosphorus (TP).
Increasing Waster Water Discharge
In 2008, the waste water discharge reached 57.2 billion tons, up 2.7% from 2007. Industrial waste water discharge was 24.19 billion tons in the year, down 1.9% year on year. Domestic waste water discharge reached 33.01 billion tons, up 6.4% from 2007. In 2009, the total waste water discharge is estimated to continue increasing, amounting to 59.75 billion tons.
Growing Investment on Sewage Treatment
However, the government has been expanding sewage treatment capacity for years. In 2003, the government investment on sewage treatment was $1.06 billion. In 2008, this figure increased to $3.7 billion, representing an annualized growth rate of 28.5% since 2003. In 2009, total sewage investment is estimated to reach $5.03 billion.
According to Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, PRC, by the end of 2010 (the end of “Eleven-Fifth Plan” period), 1) all cities and designated towns in China should construct urban sewage treatment facilities; 2) the sewage treatment rate in major cities including provincial capital cities should reach 80%, the rate for minor cities should be between 60% and 70%, and for prefectures it should reach 60%; 3) newly increased disposal capacity of sewage should reach 45 million tons; 4) utilization rate of recycled water in water shortage cities should reach over 20%; 5) the newly increased reusing quantity of reclaimed water should reach 3.5 billion m3.
Rapid growth in Industry Revenue
In 2008, the Sewage Treatment, Processing and Recycling Industry in China generated total revenue of $1.14 billion (in current prices), representing an annualized growth rate of 18.5% since 2003. In 2009, industry revenue is estimated to continue increasing to $1.41 billion, up 23.6% from 2008.
