Main Points

◆ With regard to wastewater treatment in villages and small towns, equal attention should be paid to pollution control and environmental protection, simultaneously integrating centralized treatment with decentralized treatment. Meanwhile, with decentralized treatment in mind as principle, residential pollution treatment should be combined with the agricultural production while the natural ecological treatment should been combined with manual treatment technology.

◆ Source reduction, recycle, life-cycle-control.
◆ Consider surface pollution comprehensively
◆ As to the rural drinking water problems, The first ladder of development is “relief”, the second is “safety” while the third “convenience”.
Simple inspection apparatus is needed in solving the problems of water quality safety in village.
◆ Sterilization and cleaning apparatus should be low-cost and convenient.
◆ Set up peasant water-consumption council for self-management.
◆ The “New countryside construction” is to enhance all kinds of hardware facilities of village to the ones of urban cities.
◆ MOC and other related authority should promulgate corresponding code or instructive opinions on the hardware construction in new village development.
◆ It is insufficient to merely emphasize the hardware construction in village, on the contrary, the software construction, that is, the ability of peasants should be put more attention.
◆ The “New countryside construction” should be considered wholly and from the stand-point of the majority of 70-80% peasant.
◆ Standards come after models.
◆ Turn three kinds of garbage, that is, “feces, litter and straw” into fuel, feed and fertilizer, and exert beneficial effect to ecological environment
◆ The main problem in village is water supply rather than wastewater treatment, which is more a sanitation problem than a environmental one.
◆ In rural and remote areas, the environmental problem is actually a hygiene problem. Whether built swamp in each household need further consideration.
◆ Authority should promulgate a systematic construction file
◆ The solid waste problem is severer and more important than wastewater problems in rural and remote areas.
In favor of the ecological intensified treatment technology in rural and remote areas.
The “new Countrside construction” should be pushed in scientifically.
◆ Many wastewater treatment technologies applied in rural and remote areas have been proved efficient and feasible.
◆ Different from design of municipal treatment facilities, the design of treatment facilities in rural and remote areas should be considered holistically.
In order to sustain the wastewater treatment facilities, apart from subsidies, peasant should pay certain amount of charge more or less.
◆ Due to long-ensuring self-sustained characteristics, it is hard for peasants to choose the suitable technology independently.
