Über dieses Buch

This book mainly provides the current status of water pollution faced by China under rapid changing environment and the actions that have been taken for prevention and treatment of water pollution. It points out that the water pollution situation is severe. Facing water pollution, China’s experiences include several aspects on source control and pollution interception, internal nutrient removal of sediment, ecological restoration, and water transfer policy. There exists both the opportunity and challenge for the prevention and control of water pollution in China. The book contains numerous charts and diagrams which further illustrating China’s paths to clean water.

Chapter 1. Current Situation of Water Pollution in China

Abstract

In this book we provide an overview of water resources and water pollution in China. We describe the basic situation of lakes (reservoirs), rivers, groundwater and marine water in China, including the numbers, the sizes, and distributions, etc. On this basis, we summarize the pollution status of the corresponding water bodies. This can provide a background information for the following chapters.

Chapter 2. Challenges and Opportunities to Treat Water Pollution

Abstract

In recent years, the global population has exceeded 7 billion. Such a huge population has greatly affected the global environment. In particular, the eutrophication of rivers, lakes, reservoirs, cities and agricultural areas have become one of the major environmental challenges facing the world, especially this situation is even more severe in Europe and China. Eutrophication has received high international and domestic attention due to its economic and ecological consequences. The intensification of water eutrophication had caused frequent occurrence of cyanobacteria blooms, which have brought serious harm to human production and life, and the scope of its influence has been continuously expanded.

Chapter 3. Facing Water Pollution Under Rapid Changing Environment: China’s Experiences

Abstract

The basis and premise of water pollution control are source control and pollution interception. Source control refers to the reduction of pollutant quantity that are discharged into water body from pollution sources. Pollution interception refers to the reduction of pollutant quantity along the path into the water body. Source control and pollution interception are direct and effective, but need lots of investment to build pollution control projects. Many strategies and technologies have been developed for source control and pollution interception in China. Some of them are explained in the following.
