Water conservancy policy "combination boxing" will be revealed one after another

Abstract: The reporter learned from the authority of the Ministry of Water Resources that the "Implementation Opinions on Implementing the Most Stringent Water Resources Management System" that the Ministry of Water Resources has completed this year has been reported and is expected to be issued in the near future. In addition to clarifying the objectives of the three “red lines” set out in the No. 1 Document of the Central Government and the most stringent water resources management system proposed by the Central Water Conservancy Work Conference this year, the “Opinions” further propose specific policy measures to implement the “three” red lines.

According to the source, at the same time, among the pilot provinces and cities for the first batch of the seven most stringent water resource management systems identified this year, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong and Shanghai will officially start pilot work in 2012.

According to the analysis, the quotas for water quotas and pollution capacity indicators proposed in the “Opinions” and subsequent supporting policies will promote the clear control targets for water use and pollutant discharge in all river basins and provinces and districts, and further promote the implementation of water saving and emission reduction responsibilities in various regions. The pilot projects for the most stringent water resources management systems in the four provinces and cities will be implemented in advance, which means that companies involved in the water supply market in these four provinces and cities will be expected to take the lead in obtaining favorable results.

The policy "combination boxing" will successively display the "three" red line of the most severe water management system delimited according to this year's Central Document No. 1 and the Central Water Conservancy Work Conference (Water resources development and utilization, water use efficiency control, and water functional area restriction Requirement: By 2015, the total water use in China will not exceed 620 billion cubic meters, the water consumption per 10,000 yuan will drop by 30%, the water consumption per 10,000 yuan in industrial added value will drop by 30%, the effective utilization factor for agricultural irrigation water will reach 0.52, and the major rivers and lakes Water compliance rate reached 60%.

According to the above sources, apart from the above objectives, the “Opinions” further propose specific policy measures for the implementation of the “three” red line, including: Accelerating the completion of sub-basin, sub-provincial and regional control index decomposition and confirmation, and further improving regional water quotas. The system will accelerate the verification of the capacity of holding pollutants in important river and lake water function areas.

In order to ensure the effective implementation of the strictest water resource management system, the Ministry of Water Resources will work with the Ministry of Finance and other departments to formulate the “Centralized Funding Guarantee Scheme for the Most Severe Water Resources Management System”, the “National Water Quota System” and the “National Important Water and Lake Water Function Area”. Pollution capacity verification and the total emission control plan in stages shall be announced and will be announced after implementation of the Opinions.

According to reports, at present, the state has launched seven pilot provinces and cities for the implementation of the most severe water resources system in Beijing, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, and Shanghai. Among them, water use index decomposition has been implemented in four provinces and cities in Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, and Shanghai. almost done. According to the plan, these four provinces and cities will formally start pilot work in 2012 and be completed in 2014. The scope of the pilot nationwide will continue to expand in the future.

Market analysts said that the pilots of the most stringent water resources management systems were launched in advance in four provinces and municipalities, implying that the policies and measures for the water supply, water-saving and sewage treatment industries in these four provinces and municipalities will continue to increase. The market will usher in new ones next year. Development opportunities, and related listed companies with business expansion in Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong and Shanghai such as Capital Capital (600008), City Investment Holdings (600649), China Water (600187), and Entrepreneurial Environmental Protection (600874) it is good.

According to the above-mentioned sources, the Ministry of Water Resources and the Ministry of Finance are stepping up their efforts to formulate the “Centralized Funding Guarantee Plan for the Most Severe Water Resources Management System” to ensure that the central government will ensure that the most stringent water resources management system is in place. The source is extracted from the national water resource fee collected each year at a rate of 10%. For the whole year of 2011, this total funding is expected to reach around 600 million yuan, which will also become the main source of central funding next year.

It is also understood that at present, the relevant departments are stepping up efforts to formulate a nationwide water price reform program, and the upward adjustment of water prices has become an established principle. This also means that the water resource fee collected from the water price in the future will increase accordingly, and the safeguard funds used to ensure the implementation of the strictest water resource management system are also expected to increase.

According to the relevant experts of the Ministry of Water Resources, according to the existing water resource fee collection mode, 10% of the water resource fee collected by the whole country will be turned over to the Central Government. Currently, the total water resource fee that the central government can receive is about 560 million yuan each year. The funds are mainly used for the South-to-North Water Transfer Project. According to estimates, the collection of water resource fees in China will reach 12 billion yuan in 2016. Calculated at 10%, about 1.2 billion yuan of central government funds will be earmarked for implementing the strictest water resource management system.
