# Report # Introduction In our daily life, more and more reports are used, so we should pay attention to the rationality of logic when writing reports. The following is a survey report on strengthening the management of safe drinking water in rural areas. Welcome to read!

Investigation report on strengthening the management of safe drinking water in rural areas

In order to promote the construction and management of rural safe drinking water projects in our region and effectively improve the level of safe drinking water, according to the 20xx annual consultation work plan, CPPCC organized some members to go to six towns, including Yecun and Shi Yao, to run to 13 villages, 5 resettlement sites and 1 water supply companies. Through on-site inspection, home visits, listening to reports, face-to-face discussions, etc., the work of safe drinking water in rural areas in our district was investigated intensively. The investigation is now reported as follows: 1. Current situation and characteristics.

Since 20xx, our district has invested xx million yuan in rural drinking water project construction and built xx water supply projects. Among them, there are xx underground water sources and xx surface water sources. The designed water supply capacity is xx million m3/ day, and the water supply scope covers xx towns in the whole region, so as to solve the drinking water problem of xx million people. The penetration rate of tap water in rural areas reached xx%, and the water supply guarantee rate reached xx%. The rural safe drinking water work in the whole region has achieved phased results, mainly showing the following four characteristics:

First, leaders attach importance to it and implement their responsibilities. The district government attaches great importance to the construction and management of rural safe drinking water projects, regards rural drinking water safety as an important livelihood project to speed up farmers' poverty alleviation and build a well-off society in an all-round way, and has established a rural safe drinking water project construction headquarters with the district head as the chief commander, the deputy head in charge as the deputy chief commander, and the departments of development and reform, finance and water affairs as members, and strengthened organizational leadership and departmental cooperation. The responsibilities of organizational leadership, subject responsibility and departmental cooperation were clarified, the tasks were consolidated, the time nodes were delineated, and the promotion measures were strengthened, which provided a strong guarantee for the orderly and effective implementation of rural safe drinking water project construction management in the whole region.

The second is to adjust measures to local conditions and plan scientifically. The district government and functional departments adhere to the working ideas of water resources utilization, cost saving, building first and managing later, and inclining to areas with drinking water difficulties, tourist attractions, immigrant development zones and urban planning zones, strengthen the coordination and connection between rural drinking water safety engineering planning and town and village layout planning and immigrant development zone construction, and scientifically and reasonably compile rural drinking water safety in our region around the overall deployment of poverty alleviation in the whole region, in accordance with the principles of overall planning, highlighting key points and adapting measures to local conditions, with centralized water supply as the mainstay and decentralized water supply as the supplement.

Third, pay attention to quality and standardize construction. In order to build a safe drinking water project in rural areas, the district government and the water department strictly control the quality in the construction of drinking water safety projects, conscientiously implement the basic construction procedures of the projects, strictly abide by the system, select design units and supervision units with corresponding qualifications for project design and quality supervision, and invite public tenders for all equipment procurement and construction units. The construction unit is required to strictly implement the "three-inspection system" in the construction to achieve safe production and civilized construction. In the implementation of the project construction, a quality assurance system is established, in which the project legal person is responsible, the supervision unit checks, the construction unit guarantees and the quality supervision station supervises, so as to ensure the steady improvement of the construction quality of the safe drinking water project.

The fourth is to establish rules and regulations and strengthen management. In order to strengthen the operation and management of township water supply projects in the whole region and ensure the normal operation of water supply facilities, the district government has successively issued two policy documents, namely, Measures for the Operation and Management of Township Water Supply Projects in xx District and Measures for the Management and Use of Maintenance Funds for Water Supply Projects in xx District, to pay close attention to the operation and management of rural drinking water projects. At present, the management of rural drinking water safety projects in our district has initially formed a mode that the single village water supply project is managed by the villagers themselves and the joint village centralized water supply project is managed by the water supply station. The water supply price is reasonably approved, and the independent operation and self-financing are adhered to, so as to effectively solve the water supply-related costs and expenses. At the same time, strengthen the sampling inspection of drinking water to ensure the safety of drinking water to the maximum extent. While introducing clean water into thousands of households, it has also realized the long-awaited desire of the people for convenient and safe water use and has become a popular project that the people are satisfied with.

Second, the existing difficulties and problems

Although the rural drinking water safety work in our region has achieved remarkable results, there are still some outstanding problems that cannot be ignored from the investigation, mainly in the following aspects:

(A) ideological understanding is not in place. The understanding of the importance of drinking water safety by individual departments and town offices is not in place, and the publicity and implementation of the Measures for the Operation and Management of Township Water Supply Projects in xx District are a mere formality. The people have a low awareness of the current national rural safe drinking water project construction management measures, investment mechanisms and other policies, and lack awareness of water conservation, paid use of water resources and water source protection. The leaders in charge of relevant departments, business personnel and township cadres have little regular study and training, and the implementation of policies and regulations and the improvement of business ability are slow, which is not conducive to effective work; Some people have a weak awareness of paid water use and have resistance to the collection of water charges. It is difficult to collect water charges, which seriously affects the normal utilization of water supply facilities.

(2) Insufficient capital investment. Rural safe drinking water project involves a large amount and a wide range. In addition, the poverty alleviation time is strict, the tasks are increasing, and the project planning and design funds are lacking. Affected by objective conditions and natural factors, the matching funds for engineering construction are not in place. The village-level economy is generally weak, and it is difficult to implement the self-raised parts such as pipe bed excavation and backfilling and project land occupation in the construction of drinking water projects. The district finance has not implemented the project maintenance fund budget, the drinking water project has poor disaster resistance, and the project water quality testing cost cannot be implemented. In particular, in some centralized resettlement sites, the water supply pipes are frozen and there is no fund for maintenance, which leads to the residents' inability to use water normally. For example, in the two resettlement sites of Songyun and Songgou, the local government pays for the maintenance of facilities, the salaries of managers and other expenses, and there is a big gap in management and protection funds.

(3) The water quality is unsafe. The rural safe drinking water project in the whole region is mainly based on decentralized water supply in villages or groups, with relatively few centralized water supply modes, wide water sources, poor management and protection ability and great pressure on water quality guarantee. The phenomenon of "dirty and dirty" in rural environment and the problem of non-point source pollution have not been effectively solved, and the drinking water source environment is poor; The delineation scope, facilities and system of drinking water source protection areas are not in place. The main responsibility of drinking water safety from the source to the faucet is not clear, the guarantee system is not perfect, the water quality testing equipment and personnel are not in place, the testing business level is low, the water quality testing is not frequent, the testing data is not open, and the drinking water safety hazards are worrying.

(D) Post-construction management lags behind. It was found in the investigation that most water plants were only managed by 1 or two surrounding villagers, with low management level and poor service, which affected people's production and life. In operation and management, except for centralized water supply, village cadres are basically entrusted to perform their duties. There is no charge for running water, and only electricity is charged for drilling wells and pumping water. The mechanism of selection of managers, training and certification, performance appraisal, mitigation of initial operation and maintenance risks, and reasonable water price compensation has not been established and improved, resulting in irregular management in the later stage of drinking water projects, untimely maintenance of facilities, frequent water cuts and waterless phenomena, and prominent management problems in reconstruction.

Three. Comments and suggestions

(1) Raise awareness and do a solid job in publicity and training. Governments at all levels should attach great importance to rural drinking water safety, put this work on an important agenda, and widely publicize rural safe drinking water policies such as Measures for the Operation and Management of Township Water Supply Projects in xx District and Measures for the Management and Use of Maintenance Funds for Township Water Supply Projects in xx District. As well as the rural drinking water safety management regulations of xx city, through radio and television, newspapers, internet and other means, constantly improve people's understanding of the importance of drinking water safety. Further intensify publicity, vigorously carry out popular science propaganda on drinking water safety, water conservation and paid use of water resources, and effectively enhance farmers' awareness of water resources hardship, environmental protection and drinking water safety. Strengthen the training of basic engineering technology and management personnel, improve the professional level and management level, and provide a strong guarantee for drinking water safety.

(2) Increase investment and strengthen financial guarantee. Actively strive for national special funds, increase the integration of district-level financial budget and funds, continuously broaden investment and financing channels, encourage and attract social capital to participate in project construction management, further improve the water fee collection system, make overall plans to promote poverty alleviation and consolidate and improve drinking water safety, effectively solve the problems of inadequate allocation of funds for pre-planning and design in the renovation and upgrading of rural drinking water safety projects, and ensure the completion, management and safety of rural drinking water projects.

(3) Take measures to ensure the safety of drinking water in rural areas. Strengthen source protection, delimit water source protection areas according to law, clarify the scope of protection and implement protection measures. Learn from foreign experience, set up China's water quality monitoring center as soon as possible, explore the establishment of rural safe drinking water security system, strive to achieve full coverage of water quality monitoring in rural safe drinking water projects, and strengthen water quality inspection and monitoring. In strict accordance with the requirements of relevant laws and regulations, establish and improve the water source inspection system, strengthen the law enforcement inspection of water source protection through regular inspections and irregular inspections, and implement all-round, whole-process and normalized management. Strengthen the improvement of rural human settlements, eliminate rural non-point source pollution, and strictly control pollutant emissions. Adhere to regular sampling and testing of water quality, open testing data, establish rural water quality files, ensure water quality is clean, hygienic and safe, and let people eat safe water.

Chapter II Investigation Report on Strengthening the Management of Rural Safe Drinking Water

I. Status of Rural Safe Drinking Water Project in the County Zhenlai County has 1 1 townships (towns) and farms, and there are 487 natural villages. Total resident population in rural areas. 230 thousand people. By the end of 20xx, 325 villages and villages with unsafe drinking water, such as high fluorine water, polluted water and excessive iron and manganese, have been solved, and 325 rural drinking water safety projects have been completed, solving the problem of unsafe drinking water population in rural areas 17.5 1 10,000, accounting for 78.8% of the total rural population. Good results have been achieved in the construction of rural drinking water safety projects. However, since the implementation of the rural safe drinking water project, due to natural disasters, insufficient funds for construction and maintenance, poor management after construction and other reasons, more than 20 rural safe drinking water projects in the county/Kloc-0 have been suspended, including: the depth of frozen layer reached 2.6 meters in winter in 20xx, and 46 pipe networks were frozen; The matching funds of power equipment are insufficient and unused11; Iron and manganese water quality exceeded the standard, and 45 places were stopped; Management work is not in place, operating funds are insufficient, farmers stop using small deep wells with their own wells 18, and only 205 projects can be used normally. The number of rural safe drinking water in the county is less than140,000, accounting for 80% of the total number of rural safe drinking water projects and 63% of the total rural resident population in the county. The utilization rate of rural safe drinking water projects in this county is decreasing year by year. Up to now, there are 162 natural villages with 47,200 people in the county. Due to the small villages, scattered distribution and large local supporting funds, the rural safe drinking water project has not been implemented.

Second, the existing problems

(a) Some rural residents have misunderstandings about safe and hygienic water. At present, the lagging health concept of some rural residents restricts the construction, management and development of rural safe drinking water projects. First, most people regard the rural safe drinking water project as a kind of government welfare, and think that it is all the government's business, and the labor, labor and investment in construction, maintenance, management and operation have little to do with themselves. Second, some people think that safe drinking water in rural areas can only meet the daily needs of farmers, and livestock and some production water have to be solved by farmers themselves digging deep wells, which is unrealistic. Thirdly, some people don't know much about the relationship between safe drinking water and health.

(2) Lack of effective management mechanism. Most rural safe drinking water projects are coordinated and declared by township governments, and implemented by water conservancy departments. After the completion of the project, township governments and functional departments generally believe that the task has been completed, and there is no research and guidance on the later operation of the water plant, and there is a lack of long-term mechanism for effective operation and management. At present, the management responsibility subject of rural safe drinking water projects is not clear, and most of them are simply managed by village collectives. Management is diversified and simplified, and a good transportation and management mechanism has not been formed. With the lack of financial resources and energy at the village level, and the lack of support and management from township governments and functional departments, the rural safe drinking water project that has been implemented is moving towards semi-paralysis year by year.

(3) Other aspects. First, 20xx years ago, due to the design, construction or soil problems of the project, the water supply pipes in some villages were not buried deep enough to keep out the cold completely, which led to frequent freezing damage of water supply pipes in some villages and could not supply water for half a year. Increased operation and maintenance costs, and even failed to work normally. Second, at this stage, most villages can't supply water all day, but only regularly. Farmers often miss the water supply period or need to keep people at home to store water during the busy farming season, which brings inconvenience to production and life. Third, some villages are small and scattered, and the funds for independent operation are insufficient.

Third, some suggestions on strengthening the management of safe drinking water in rural areas

According to * * Fa Zheng * * No.6 "Implementation Opinions of the People's Government of * * Province on Strengthening the Construction and Management of Rural Drinking Water Safety Project", we will formulate the "Implementation Measures for the Construction and Management of Rural Drinking Water Safety Project" as soon as possible, focusing on the following aspects:

First, we should strengthen publicity and publicize the significance and role of implementing safe drinking water in rural areas. Let the rural cadres and the masses deeply realize that safe drinking water is a livelihood event that the country attaches great importance to, invests heavily in, improves the quality of life of rural residents and guarantees the health of farmers and future generations, thus attracting great attention and extensive participation.

The second is to clarify the main responsibility. The project construction still adopts the construction mode of organization and implementation by water conservancy department and cooperation between township (town) and field; The main body of management responsibility is the township government and its water management department, which is responsible for the implementation of the Implementation Measures and the organization and management of equipment maintenance, facility maintenance and operation supervision.

The third is to absorb social funds to participate in management. Individual contracting or leasing can be adopted. At the same time, considering that the rural safe drinking water project has the characteristics of public welfare, can not be fully marketized and can not be for profit, the government reserves a part of water charges as special funds for safe operation and maintenance of drinking water under the premise of regulating water prices. Large-scale maintenance and renovation projects are undertaken by county and township governments. The advantages of contracting or leasing operation are standardized, practical and sustainable from management to operation, and it is also convenient for people to supervise, improve service quality and facilitate people's production and life.

Fourth, it is necessary to conduct in-depth research and form long-term and effective management methods. The county government should instruct the Water Conservancy Bureau and the township governments to investigate and master the current situation of the county's safe drinking water project, especially the feasibility assessment and maintenance plan for the more than 20 waterworks that have stopped running/KLOC-0. Through investigation, a set of long-term and effective measures for the construction and management of rural safe drinking water projects in the county are formed, so that the normal operation can gradually improve the drinking water safety standard, and the waterworks that can be repaired and restored can operate as soon as possible.

Chapter III Investigation Report on Strengthening the Management of Rural Safe Drinking Water

Water is the source of life and the foundation of people's livelihood. According to statistics, 8% of diseases in developing countries are caused by unsafe drinking water, and more than 8 million people worldwide die from unsafe drinking water every year. It can be seen how important drinking water safety is to protect and improve people's health. In order to fully grasp the current situation of rural drinking water in the county and promote the smooth progress of rural safe drinking water project in the county, we went deep into townships (towns) and villages (villages) to inspect the construction of rural safe drinking water project in our county, held a symposium, listened to the explanations of the county water conservancy bureau and townships (towns) on the construction of safe drinking water project, summarized the achievements and existing problems of rural safe drinking water project in our county, and put forward suggestions for the implementation of future project construction.

The rural resident population in our county is 224,000, and the rural safe drinking water project is related to the health of the rural resident population. The main source of rural drinking water in our county is groundwater, which is rich in water. In the rural drinking water source area of our county, the water quality is not optimistic, some villages are bidding for iron and manganese, and the water source is polluted.

Up to now, some rural areas in this county have not implemented the rural safe drinking water project because of the small villages, scattered distribution and large local supporting funds.

Due to natural disasters, insufficient construction and maintenance funds, and poor management after construction, some drinking water safety projects have been stopped. The existing drinking water safety project in XX has been stopped, including: the frozen layer depth reached 2.6 meters in 20 XX, causing 46 freezing injuries to the pipe network; The matching funds of power equipment are insufficient ××; Iron and manganese water quality exceeded 45 items; The 18 site was stopped due to inadequate management, insufficient operating funds, and farmers from small deep wells. Only two projects are in normal use, and the number of rural drinking water safety people in the county is less than ××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

The first is to increase publicity. Take various forms, widely publicize the awareness of safe drinking water, water conservation and healthy water use, enhance people's awareness of water conservation, educate farmers to firmly establish the awareness that water is a commodity, continuously improve the project benefit, widely publicize it from point to area, increase the publicity of safe drinking water work, and promote the standardized and institutionalized construction of project operation management.

The second is to increase the efforts for project funds. Take advantage of the favorable opportunity for the country to increase investment in rural safe drinking water projects year by year, mobilize various positive factors, establish an investment and financing system combining financial investment with social financing, raise social funds through multiple channels, and increase efforts to win projects and funds. The matching funds of local governments adopt government support, social investment and some preferential policies to expand the sources of funds.

Third, do a good job in engineering construction planning. Before the construction of rural drinking water safety project, we should fully consider the environment, climate and soil conditions of the construction site, not only to meet the water demand of local farmers, but also to ensure the long-term safe operation and improve the utilization rate after the completion of drinking water safety project.

The fourth is to ensure the quality of engineering construction. Rural safe drinking water project is a livelihood project, and the quality of the project is related to the health of farmers. The planning and design of the implementation scheme of rural drinking water safety project should be coordinated with social development, the selection of water sources and the form of water supply should be adapted to local conditions, to ensure the construction period and quality of the project, and to ensure a virtuous circle in post-construction management. In construction, we should constantly improve the supervision system to ensure the quality of engineering construction.

(1) Establish a water quality monitoring system. Attach great importance to the water quality monitoring of rural drinking water safety projects, arrange necessary funds, and equip corresponding personnel and equipment to ensure the accuracy of water quality monitoring data.

(2) Improve the management mechanism of rural drinking water project construction. Further explore and summarize the effective management mode of the built safe drinking water project, overcome the previous thought of "emphasizing construction but neglecting management", establish a unified management mechanism, straighten out the property right relationship, and determine the ownership and management right of the water supply project according to the goal of "building a project well, clarifying a property right, verifying a reasonable water price and serving the people", and ensure that there are management stations, technical files, water source protection facilities and engineering protection measures. Set up a special organization and invest some maintenance funds. Strengthen the technical training of existing project managers, improve their knowledge level and management skills, in order to meet the needs of continuous development of management, constantly change management concepts, improve service levels, effectively protect farmers' drinking water safety, and truly achieve the purpose of benign operation of the project. In management, we can refer to the management mode of cable TV or power industry. The main body of management responsibility is the township water pipe station, and the management and maintenance fee *. This is not only convenient for management, but also makes up for the problems of small population and insufficient operating expenses. It can also reduce personnel expenses and increase the working cost of water pipe stations. At the same time, the water station relies on the superior functional departments to facilitate coordination. In addition, it can also absorb social funds to participate in management. Take personal contracting or leasing and other business methods. At the same time, considering that the rural safe drinking water project has the characteristics of public welfare, it can't be fully marketized and can't be for profit, so the government only reserves a part of the cost as a special fund for the safe operation and maintenance of drinking water under the premise of regulating water prices. The main maintenance and improvement projects are carried out with the assistance of the town and village levels. The advantages of individual contracting or leasing business are that it is easy to be accepted by the masses from management to operation, which is convenient for the masses to supervise, the service quality can be improved and the production and life of the masses can be facilitated.
