Recently, the topic of water pollution has been constantly raised, especially the issue of groundwater pollution. Farmers or entrepreneurs in cities such as Hangzhou and Wenzhou in Zhejiang have invested in inviting environmental protection bureau directors to swim in rivers to raise awareness of the severity of water pollution. Although various environmental protection bureau directors have chosen to remain silent or refuse, the awakening of public environmental awareness has led to a level of concern for water pollution.

Surface water pollution is obvious, while groundwater pollution is alarming. According to the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Ministry of Land and Resources2008year7The National Groundwater Pollution Prevention and Control Plan released this month pointed out that China13Among a population of one billion, there are70%Drinking groundwater,660There are multiple cities with400Multiple cities rely on groundwater as their drinking water source. However, according to the National Groundwater Pollution Prevention and Control Plan90%The underground water in the city has been polluted.

Water pollution has always been a concern and a long-standing issue that affects development. With the development of technology and the update of water pollution technology,2014In the year, water pollution received renewed attention from the government. Water pollution control services mainly include water pollution prevention and control technology and product development, water pollution control engineering design and construction, water pollution control facility operation services, and water pollution control trade and financial services. In order to timely grasp the development status of China's water pollution control industry, the Water Pollution Control Committee of the China Environmental Protection Industry Association2007At the beginning of the year, a survey was conducted on the basic situation of some water pollution control enterprises in China.

The most crucial element in controlling water pollution is technology, and the technology service industry, as a new type of technology industry, is the core industry of China's environmental protection industry and an important indicator of the development level of the environmental protection industry.2014The organic combination of technology service industry and environmental protection technology innovation system is the driving force for promoting the technological progress and vigorous development of the environmental protection industry.

According to a report released by the Environmental Planning Institute of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, it is predicted that investment in the treatment of urban domestic and industrial wastewater in China will increase significantly in the next five years. It is expected that during the 12th Five Year Plan period, the cumulative investment in sewage treatment in China will reach1.06Trillion yuan. Industry insiders believe that considering the stage and nature of industry development, water pollution control will still maintain its position as a major investor in the environmental protection industry. During the 12th Five Year Plan period, with the gradual introduction of sewage treatment support policies, relevant enterprises will enjoy a feast.

From a policy perspective, the weight of sewage treatment during the 11th Five Year Plan period will be even heavier during the 12th Five Year Plan period. The policy changes will mainly include five aspects: firstly, incorporating ammonia nitrogen into the binding control targets;2、 Improve the discharge standards for sewage treatment and increase the reuse of recycled water;3、 Mandatory requirement for sludge treatment;4、 Continue to improve the sewage treatment rate and equipment load rate;5、 Agricultural water pollution is included in the management system. Policy changes will bring three major investment opportunities: sludge treatment, upgrading and transformation of sewage plants, and industrial wastewater treatment.

Infinite potential or malnutrition?The development prospects of China's sewage treatment industry are confusing, and the current situation urgently needs to be broken.

Therefore, China should improve its policies and regulations on sewage treatment, establish a regulatory system, create a reasonable sewage treatment fee system, support the development of the domestic environmental protection industry, and promote the industrialization and marketization of the sewage treatment industry. The sewage treatment industry is a sunrise industry with a very broad development prospect. China will invest during the 11th Five Year Plan period3000With billions of yuan to promote urban sewage treatment and utilization, China's sewage treatment industry has entered a period of rapid development.
