Why is the water of the mother river Oujiang so turbid?

The yellow water in the Oujiang River is because the soil colloid in the river meets the salt in the seawater and precipitates, which cannot be controlled!

It turns out that the yellow water in the Oujiang River reaches the Oujiang Bridge, that is, the Mei'ao area. Later, due to the construction of Jinshuitan Reservoir in Lishui, the water in the Oujiang River became yellow and reached the Shuangchao Township area.

There is another reason:

The current water in the Oujiang River is turbid. A very important reason is that the water in the Qingtian area was dug It is caused by sand. The dredging of sand in the upper reaches of the Oujiang River has seriously damaged the ecological environment. In the past, the upper reaches of the Oujiang River were still very beautiful. Now, with the dredging of sand day and night, the original ecology on both sides of the big stream and small stream of the Oujiang River in Qingtian has been seriously damaged. It is really heartbreaking. Is this worrying? The serious consequence is that areas with slow water flow downstream begin to silt up. For example, since the Yitoutong (dyke) was washed away in the 1960s, the north current of Xizhou Island has begun to silt up. Now the ebb and flow of Xizhou Island is almost the same as that of Yongjia Qiaotou. are connected together, and the serious consequence of this is that during floods, the southward flow of water will seriously endanger the safety of the Jinwen Railway and 330 National Highway.

The river surface is wide, and due to the mutual stimulation of river currents and sea tides, The growth and decline of each other, and the sedimentation of sediments, formed four river sandbars: Xizhou Island, Jiangxin Island, Qidutu, and Lingkun Island.

The tap water used by Wenzhou people in the past was the water from the upper reaches of the Oujiang River. Now With the Shanxi Reservoir, the quality of tap water has been greatly improved

1. The reason for visiting Oujiang River in Wenzhou:

As early as two months ago, about "The impact of Wenzhou's regional environment on the local economy" The research topic was tossing in our minds. On July 19, 2012, a colleague and I took a flight from Changsha to Wenzhou, planning to go to Wenzhou to carry out public welfare research work on this topic. On the plane, I met three reporters from the International Finance News sponsored by the People's Daily. During the conversation, I learned that the purpose of their trip to Wenzhou was mainly to conduct on-the-spot interviews about the serious pollution of Wenzhou's Oujiang River. Oujiang is also the subject we want to investigate, that is, an important part of Wenzhou's regional economic research work, so my interest greatly increased and I decided to go to the field with three reporters from the People's Daily International Finance News to see what happened.

At 9 a.m. on July 20, 2012, we and a reporter from the People’s Daily went to the Senior Citizens’ Association of Wenxi Village, Wenxi Town, Qingtian County, Wenzhou, and listened to some elderly people from the Senior Citizens’ Association tell us about the pollution of the Oujiang River. The old people spoke to each other with sincerity, expressing their deep sorrow over the pollution of Oujiang River! According to old people, the Oujiang River 10 years ago was crystal clear, rich in fish, and full of happy gulls. At that time, the river water was drinkable, sweet and pure. Green mountains and clear waters support a person, and elderly people with long lives can be seen everywhere. The Oujiang River indeed makes the people of Wenzhou proud. Today, the Oujiang River has become turbid, the water flow is dark, and the river water emits an unpleasant stench. Residents along the river are afraid and worried when they see the river. The polluted river water has seriously damaged the health of the local people. The number of people suffering from cancer and other intractable diseases has increased significantly than in the past. As for drinking the Oujiang water directly, young residents regard it as just a beautiful legend.

At around 10 a.m., two comrades from the China Rule of Law Research Center and two reporters from the People’s Daily directly visited Asia Pacific Leather Co., Ltd., which has serious pollution sources. During the one-hour interview, factory personnel kept They talk endlessly about how the water they discharge meets the national first-class standards, etc. However, we have learned from many parties that the actual situation is obviously inconsistent with the manufacturer's introduction.

2. The miracle of the Wenzhou model is caused by the five treasures: one mountain, two waters, three temples, four seas, and five plays

Although we only stayed in Wenzhou for a short few days, I have my own compass in my heart. The strange mountains and rivers here have cultivated excellent Wenzhou people.

Mountain: This slope overlooks the opposite gate ridge. No one who is diligent dares to break the pine trees. The mountainous Wenzhou reflects people's ups and downs, hardships and hard-working lives. Through tenacity, hard work and hard work, the hard-working Wenzhou people not only cultivated a spiritual temperament like a mountain pine slope camphor, but also built a livable humanistic environment in this environment that was not a livable place.

Water: Although Wenzhou contains three major water systems (Oujiang River, Feiyun River, and Aojiang River), only Oujiang River shows its majesty. The water of the Oujiang River is the three treasures of Wenzhou's gold, scriptures and essence. Only with this wide waterway can the wise sacred deer migrate and stay in Oulu. Only then can the ethnic network be opened up, and only then can the essence of Wenzhou be achieved today. The beautiful water quality of the Oujiang River gave birth to the Ouhai culture here.

Temple: There are many temples and ancestral halls here, which proves that the Wenzhou people here are the Jews of Eastern China. Temples give people here a sense of awe, sincerity, gratitude and unity. The ancestral hall makes the people here have love, filial piety, family affection and nostalgia. Their subconscious mantras and prayers gave Wenzhou people wisdom and perseverance.

The sea: gave birth to the maritime character of Wenzhou people, making it common for Wenzhou people to travel to the sea.

Opera: It doesn’t matter when Nan Opera is hummed. What’s important is that Nan Opera cultivates Wenzhou spirit. Nan Opera is also a medium for communication between Wenzhou people. Nan Opera is also an important spiritual resource that stimulates Wenzhou’s creativity.

3. Now that the "mother" is ill, the children have traveled far away and don't know when they will return?

Nowadays, the water quality of the Oujiang River has deteriorated, the fish and shrimps have disappeared, the gulls and herons have stopped coming, and even the children who love the water the most have stayed away! The river "died", and the mountains, theaters, temples, and sea also lost their former spiritual energy. Although the complaint from the Wenxi Elderly Association seems to be caused by the upper reaches of Lishui and Qingtian, it is actually because the golden and gorgeous water nourishes Wenzhou! It is said that in ancient times, a constellation of gods settled in Dawei Mountain, leaving many magical legends here.

The magical mountains had magical water, and the Oujiang River nourished Lucheng - today's Wenzhou.

According to the 2008 Lishui survey report on the pollution of the Oujiang River, it is known that the pollution of the Oujiang River per degree in the Lishui section is:

Industrial wastewater discharge: 63.23 million tons; Ammonia nitrogen emissions: 72.21 million tons; domestic pollution 6.25 million tons.

We deliberately drove along Lishui to the mouth of the Oujiang River. During the journey, we noticed that the bridgehead between Wenxi and Yongjia in Qingtian happened to be the watershed area where the pollution of the Oujiang River was clearly visible. The water quality gradually becomes clearer as you go upstream, and becomes increasingly turbid and smelly as you go downstream. We wandered around Wenxi Town and saw the sewage discharge conditions of large pollution source companies such as Asia Pacific Leather Co., Ltd., Qingshan Holding Group Co., Ltd., and Yierkan. Especially near Asia Pacific Leather Co., Ltd., the smell is particularly strong, and the water quality on the riverside is particularly poor. The color of the water can be seen as dark yellow with the naked eye. It is indescribable to describe the feeling of bad water. According to reports, in order to save costs, these companies' sewage treatment systems in the factories are just "the ears of the deaf - for show." According to the clarity of the upstream and downstream of Qingtian, the ratio of water clarity is about one to three, and the annual pollution is more than three times that of the upstream. That is, the annual pollution of the downstream is approximately:

Industrial wastewater discharge: 180 million tons; ammonia nitrogen emissions: 210 million tons; domestic pollution 18 million tons. You can imagine how serious the pollution situation in Oujiang River is!

Oujiang River is the mother river of Wenzhou and Lishui. The "mother" is ill, but the children of Wenzhou are still traveling far away! Will a smelly river make tourists from all over the world forget their hometown in Wenzhou? Some tourists who have been wandering outside for many years, those who are getting older and now want to return to their roots, and some who have accumulated money by working hard outside and want to bring funds to support their hometown, just because The pollution of the Mother River has caused endless confusion in my heart...

4. Is the Oujiang River really not polluted? Is the local government really incapable of managing Oujiang River? Do the officials really not know that the Oujiang River is seriously polluted?

Industrial wastewater, chemical substances, and domestic garbage along the Oujiang River have directly caused the pollution of the Oujiang River. Sand excavation and large-scale construction work have caused soil erosion, which has also contributed to and accelerated the pollution of the Oujiang River. Among them, the "three wastes" caused by dozens of leather factories, cement factories, electroplating factories, chemical plants, etc. in the Oujiang River Basin are the biggest culprits causing water pollution in the Oujiang River. In order to revitalize the economy and pursue political achievements, local governments have attracted a number of polluting companies. However, the companies that have settled here ignore the condemnation of conscience and go against the will of nature. They only care about making money and do not consider the life and death of residents. Industrial pollution has broken Wenzhou's feng shui, cut off Wenzhou's dragon veins, and made Wenzhou's beautiful Oujiang era a memory. This has become a lingering pain in the hearts of Wenzhou people!

The pollution in Oujiang River is obvious to everyone. Every entrepreneur and every government official who has a source of pollution knows it very well, especially the local people, who are like a mirror -------

With Oujiang's "body", accompanied by The highway she was traveling on was a unique and majestic highway - the Wenli Expressway. The expressway basically consisted of more than a dozen viaducts and dozens of tunnels. It is said that the cost of this expressway was five times that of the Pingyuan Expressway. above! What we don’t understand is that the local government has the ability to build such a high-level highway, but why it cannot manage the mother river, the Oujiang River?

5. A closer look at Wenzhou

Wenzhou, located in the southeast of Zhejiang Province, is the economic, cultural and transportation center of southern Zhejiang. It is one of the first 14 coastal open cities in the country. , is one of the first 13 rural reform pilot areas in the country, one of the 18 port cities in the country, an advanced city in the country's work to create a civilized city, a pilot city for China's comprehensive reform and financial system reform, and also a country driven by informatization. One of the pilot cities for industrialization. The city governs three districts, two cities and six counties, with a total land area of ??11,784 square kilometers and a population of more than 7.5 million, of which the urban population is more than 1.9 million. Ou River is named after Wenzhou's ancient name Ou. Ou River is the second largest river in Zhejiang Province. It is located in the southeast of Zhejiang Province. It was named "Shenjiang" in ancient times and was also called "Yongjia River" or "Wenjiang". Originated from Baishan Guomaojian at the junction of Qingyuan and Longquan counties in Zhejiang Province. (Northwest of Donggong Mountain on the Zhejiang-Fujian border), flows from the northeast to the suburbs of Lishui City and turns to the southeast, passing through Longquan City, Yunhe County, Liandu District, Qingtian County, Yongjia County, Lucheng District, Longwan District, and flowing from Wenzhou City into the East China Sea . The total length is 388 kilometers, the total drop is 1080 meters, and the drainage area is 17,900 square kilometers. The difference between the upstream and downstream is 1,300 meters, with an average annual flow of 20.2 billion cubic meters.

Wenzhou, the "famous city in Dong'ou", is a city with a long history and culture. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was one of the nine ports along the coast of China. In 323 AD, the famous scholar Guo Pu selected the site to build Wenzhou City. Legend has it that when the city was built, a white deer passed through the city with flowers in its mouth. Wherever it went, birds were singing, flowers were fragrant, and auspicious clouds were flying, so it was also called "Deer City". “The landscapes of Dongou are the best in the south of the Yangtze River”, and Wenzhou is extremely rich in tourism resources. There are three national scenic spots: Yandang Mountain, which is known as "the famous mountain on the sea and the most beautiful place in the world", Nanxi River, which is known as "the best river in the world", and Baizhangji, which has dangerous peaks and secluded caves; there is "Oriental Hawaii" There are two national nature reserves: the famous Nanji Mountain Islands and the Wuyanling Nature Reserve, known as the "Kingdom of Animals and Plants".

Wenzhou is also an early frontier city in reform and opening up, and its commercial economy is quite developed. Almost every household in Wenzhou is doing business, and professional markets are popping up everywhere.

On the one hand, a large amount of foreign capital has poured into Wenzhou, which has rapidly developed into a modern commercial and trade port city with advanced technology, prosperous economy, and civilization; on the other hand, companies run by Wenzhou people are spread all over the world. "Wenzhou Model", "Wenzhou Speed" and "Wenzhou Businessman" are well-known at home and abroad.

Wenzhou, a famous town in Dongou with splendid culture, was the capital of King Zouyao of Dongou in 192 BC. In 323 AD, the county was established as Yongjia County. Legend has it that when the county was built, a white deer walked around the city with flowers in its hands, hence the name Lucheng. It was first called Wenzhou in 675 AD. Historically, it is famous for its developed handicraft industry and is one of the birthplaces of celadon. Papermaking, shipbuilding, silk, embroidery, lacquerware, shoe leather, etc. all play a certain role in the history of our country. It was established as a trading port during the Southern Song Dynasty and was known as "a prosperous sea, always called Little Hangzhou". Wenzhou is the hometown of Southern Opera. In the mid-14th century, the famous Wenzhou playwright Gao Ming's "Pipa Ji" was translated into many languages ??and spread widely around the world. Wenzhou has outstanding people and famous writers. In the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yongjia School represented by Ye Shi and the Jianghu Poetry School represented by the "Yongjia Four Spirits", Sun Yirang, Xia Nai, Xia Chengtao, Su Buqing, etc. in modern times have played a significant role in the history of thought and literature in my country. It has a great influence on the history and history of science.

Wenzhou's market economy started early and developed rapidly. It was once famous throughout the country for its "small commodities and big market". It was the pioneer area of ??China's individual and private economy and the home of the joint-stock cooperative economy. It was once called the "Wenzhou Model" by the press and theoretical circles, and also called "Wenzhou Economic Pattern" and "Wenzhou Development Path". After more than 20 years of evolution, Wenzhou's economic structure has continued to innovate and highlight its own characteristics.

With their daring and entrepreneurial spirit, Wenzhou people have created many firsts in the country during the reform and opening up; they were the first to implement financial interest rate reform, the first to formulate private enterprise regulations, and the first to Established a joint-stock cooperative enterprise and was the first to implement paid transfer of state-owned land. More than 2 million Wenzhou people have built numerous Wenzhou cities, Wenzhou streets, Wenzhou villages and Wenzhou stores across the country and around the world. Wenzhou people traveling south and north have connected Wenzhou's economy with the national economy and even the global economy. This has become a unique economic phenomenon in my country. It not only promotes the development of Wenzhou's regional economy, but also makes Wenzhou people's contribution to the national economic development.

Wenzhou pursues:

——Building a large commercial port on the southeast coast, including a transportation hub port, a commercial port, a financial port, and an information port, to make Wenzhou a regional center for the flow of people, logistics, and A distribution center for capital flow and information flow. ——Build an international light industry city to make Wenzhou an important production base, distribution base and innovation base for light industrial products in the world;

——Build the most dynamic open city to make Wenzhou a mechanism-based, active and An innovative and dynamic city with many business opportunities and high return on investment;

——Building a city famous for its coastal landscape and culture, realizing the transition of Wenzhou’s urban development from the “Oujiang Era” to the “East China Sea Era” and from the Binjiang Era The city is moving towards a coastal city, and at the same time, it is building an ecological city and a famous historical and cultural city to make Wenzhou a place suitable for living, doing business and starting a business.

Wenzhou, known as the "Land of Fish and Rice", is an ancient county with a long history. As early as five or six thousand years ago in the late Neolithic Age, ancestors worked and lived here. It shows that the place has always maintained a livable environment. In Wenzhou's pursuit of "building a city famous for coastal landscape culture, and at the same time doing a good job in building an ecological city and a famous historical and cultural city, making Wenzhou a place suitable for living, doing business, and starting a business" is the main priority in decision-making. However, the pollution situation of Oujiang River is extremely inconsistent with the decision!

6. China Rule of Law Research Center’s preliminary opinions on Oujiang governance

1. Our China Rule of Law Research Center will assign Director Mo to continue collecting primary information in the Oujiang River Basin.

2. Further organize relevant scholars, environmental protection agencies and relevant media to conduct in-depth research, and submit the research report to relevant national ministries and commissions, provincial and municipal functional agencies.

3. Expose enterprises and units with particularly serious pollution sources, create a situation where everyone is supervising them, and make pollution become a street rat that everyone shouts about!

4. Mobilize all levels of society to resolutely crack down on and prevent malignant pollutant discharge behavior by enterprises, rectify what should be rectified, and close what should be closed. The environment is more important than all interests!

5. Organize Wenzhou chambers of commerce, media and academic institutions from all over the country to participate in the "Oujiang Governance" demonstration meeting, so as to adjust Wenzhou's Feng Shui and dredge Wenzhou's dragon veins.

At the same time, we will introduce advanced technology and experience in inland river management at home and abroad to Wenzhou and Lishui, and use the courage of Wenzhou people to govern Wenzhou and the world to govern the Oujiang River!
