Abstract:
The promulgation of “Water Pollutant Emission Standard in Watersheds of South-to-North Water Diversion Project in Shandong Province” (DB37/599-2006) is an important measure to ensure the water quality in Shandong Reach of the Eastern Route of South-to-North Water Diversion Project. In order to analyze the actual effects of emission reduction and its impacts on regional economic development after the implementation of the new standard, the variations of emissions of major pollutants and regional economic development data within 3 to 5 years before and after the new standard were selected, and the impacts of the new standard on the emission amounts of main water pollutants, industrial structure, and economic development in six cities along the water transfer line were evaluated. The results indicated that the new standard decreased the emission amounts of main water pollutants and improved the optimization of industrial structure. The new standard had no negative impacts on the economic development..
