Guarantee measures for ecological environment construction in water source areas

6.2.1 Establish and improve the legal system and institutional management of the ecological environment in water source areas

(1) Bring the ecological environment protection of water source areas into the legal track: the ecological environment, water resources, and water quality of water source areas The protection involves a wide range of areas and the workload is large. On the basis of various laws and regulations on water source protection, water and soil protection, and environmental protection that have been promulgated by the country, relevant departments should be organized to draft and formulate the "Ecological Protection of Water Source Areas and Water Pollution Textiles of the Middle Route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project". Management Regulations", bringing this work into the legal track, so that the regulations for protecting the environmental quality and water quality of water source areas can be followed and acted in accordance with the law.

(2) Strengthen the government responsibility system for ecological environment protection: According to the requirements of the Environmental Protection Law, governments at all levels in water source areas should implement an environmental protection target responsibility system and regard the improvement of ecological environment quality within their jurisdiction as a The main content of assessing the performance of major government leaders is to ensure that responsibilities, inputs and measures are in place. Local governments that have achieved environmental goals should be commended and rewarded; for local governments that fail to achieve environmental protection goals, the main leaders should be held administratively accountable.

(3) Strengthen the cooperation and coordination of various government departments in ecological environment construction: Ecological environment construction is not simply the responsibility of the environmental protection department, but requires the cooperation and coordination of multiple departments. Relevant departments of local governments at all levels in water source areas should incorporate ecological construction and environmental protection into their work according to their respective responsibilities. Each functional management department should strengthen the planning and management of natural resource development according to their respective division of labor, strengthen industry guidance, and ensure the quality of ecological environment construction.

6.2.2 Establish an economic guarantee mechanism for ecological environment construction in water source areas

(1) Provide financial support for ecological construction and pollution prevention and control projects in water source areas: Danjiangkou Reservoir and its catchment Regional environmental protection work should adhere to the policy of "prevention first, combining prevention and control with comprehensive management". The state should start from the perspective of protecting source water quality and tilt pollution control funds towards the source to promote the environment, economy and development of the watershed area. coordinated development of society.

(2) Establish an ecological compensation mechanism and a paid water price system for water source areas: Based on the overall interests of the country and the respective interests of water source areas and water lands, use market economic means to coordinate the water source areas and water use of the middle route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project economic interests between the land and establish an ecological compensation mechanism. The South-to-North Water Diversion Middle Route Project will cause migration in water source areas, land submergence, suspension of production and relocation of some enterprises, and will restrict the development of industrial and agricultural production in the catchment area. In addition, the early construction of the canal head project resulted in serious problems such as vegetation damage, soil erosion and pollution. Tasks such as soil and water conservation, waste recycling and comprehensive environmental management are very arduous and require large amounts of investment. Establishing an ecological compensation and paid water price system is an effective way to fundamentally improve the ecological environment of water source areas, and is also the key to ensuring that high-quality water reaches beneficiary areas such as Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, and Henan.

(3) Establish a production and living subsidy mechanism for the people in the closed area: For the closed area (including the area of ??returning farmland to forest and grassland), it is necessary to establish and improve food subsidies, living subsidies, drinking water sources, fuel sources, production routes, etc. Problem-solving approaches and compensation mechanisms. Continue to adhere to the policy of returning farmland to forest and grassland to provide farmers with grain subsidies and seedling subsidies to help the masses solve drinking water problems and ensure drinking water safety; help the masses develop agricultural and sideline production according to local conditions, and arrange for work outside the home in a planned manner to make farmers' production profitable. , life is guaranteed. Once the production and living problems of the masses are solved, the masses will consciously safeguard the implementation of the closure measures, participate in soil and water conservation construction, and consolidate the results of ecological governance and restoration.

6.2.3 Increase investment in urban infrastructure construction in water source areas

After industrial pollution sources in water source areas meet discharge standards, the proportion of domestic sewage load will become larger and larger. and Xichuan counties are located in the upper reaches of Laoguan River and Danjiang River, the main tributary of the Danjiangkou Reservoir, the source of the South-to-North Water Diversion Middle Route Project. They need to fundamentally solve the pollution problems in urban production and life.

6.2.4 Strengthen water quality and ecological environment monitoring methods in water source areas

In order to accurately grasp the dynamics of water quality changes and ecological environment changes in the reservoir area and its main tributaries, water source water quality and ecological environment changes should be strengthened. Ecological environment monitoring means include water quality monitoring points at the source and its main tributaries into the management of national water environment and water quality monitoring outlets. Build water quality monitoring points at the Danjiangkou Reservoir and main catchment rivers at the source of the South-to-North Water Diversion Middle Route Project, and incorporate them into the national water environment and water quality monitoring network; set up ecological environment monitoring stations in 4 counties (cities) in the water source area to prepare for the start and completion of the Middle Route Project The subsequent water diversion will provide timely and accurate water quality and ecological environment monitoring data.

6.2.5 Strengthen publicity and public participation in environmental protection and ecological construction

Increase investment in environmental publicity and education, improve the modernization of publicity and education methods, and give full play to the public opinion supervision and public participation of the news media. It plays a guiding role in regularly publishing environmental, ecological quality and environmental pollution information to the public, strengthening the publicity of basic national policies for environmental protection and sustainable development strategies, consolidating and expanding the results of environmental education in primary and secondary schools, and enabling the public to establish the significance of protecting water quality in water sources. Consciously protect the water quality of water sources.

Encourage the public to participate in ecological and environmental protection affairs, improve the public participation mechanism and procedures for environmental impact assessment of construction projects and major decisions, so that the general public has the right to know, the right to participate and the right to veto suggestions, and create a good atmosphere for consciously protecting the ecological environment in the whole society.
