Most of the major rivers in Taiwan have been more or less polluted in the past twenty years. However the water quality of these rivers has been gradually improved since the National Water Pollution Control Act was promulgated in 1974 and Taiwan Provincial Water Pollution Control Agency was set up in 1975. The measures for water pollution control that have been taken include the following: enactment of laws and regulations; conducting comprehensive planning of water quality management; control of and assistance for industrial wastewater treatment; promoting the planning and construction of municipal sewerage systems; and prevention of manure pollution from livestock farms. The above water pollution control actions which have been effectively implemented in Taiwan are described in details in this paper.

The Impact

The impact of modernization in the industrial sector has the potential to produce waste as residual products that can pollute the environment, damage and / or endanger health and the environment. Actualization of these threats is contrary to the ecologically Sustainable Development Principle which requires preservation of functions and controlling environmental pollution and damage. The disposal of waste from the production of krupuk Home Industry in Kenanga Village, Sindang Subdistrict, is channeled into a river which is a source of water for the community, causing river pollution. This research is a normative juridical research, based on normative analysis, legal science approach. Primary data as the main data is obtained from various legal materials related to research, supported also by secondary and tertiary data as additional data. The results showed that the implementation of Indramayu Regency Regional Regulation Number 9 of 2012 concerning Water Quality Management and Water Pollution Control, has not been implemented properly. This is evident from the existence of river pollution which is the source of water in Kenanga Village, Sindang Subdistrict, Indramayu Regency, which can no longer be used for people's daily lives due to the waste of krupuk production. The legal responsibility of cracker producers in the management of production waste as stipulated in Article 28 of Indramayu Regency Regulation Number 9 of 2012 concerning Water Quality Management and Water Pollution Control, which is subject to administrative sanctions in the form of a written warning, is deemed not to have a deterrent effect

Legislative Structure

This paper examines the administrative and legal structure of the wastewater sector in Turkey, identifying its shortcomings and their causes, and suggests solutions. The study begins by outlining the existing administrative and legal structure, then focusing on the areas where difficulties are faced and seeking solutions to them. Those administrative and legal facets which have produced improvements and/or function effectively have been analysed so as to provide examples for other areas. When examining the sector it was observed that problems common to every area are the failure to adequately define powers and responsibilities, the lack of coordination between sectoral organisations, and the fact that attention is generally concentrated on routine matters of secondary importance. The fact that numerous organisations share powers in the same area causes confusion. Plurality also creates difficulties where enforcement is concerned. The existence of more than one set of regulations relating to the same area gives rise to loopholes. At the same time, unrealistic, and hence unenforceable standards undermine the effectiveness of sanctions. It has been concluded that a single organisation should be invested with the legal powers to lay down the principles of water management, that environmental courts should be set up to enforce legislation by means of sanctions; and that for this purpose existing legislation should be reexamined and revised as necessary and/or brought up to date.

Recreation Benefits

Water pollution control policies generally direct sources (i.e., industry, agriculture) to reduce loadings of certain pollutants. Thus, evaluating the relative net recreation benefits of policies to improve water quality requires establishing a linkage between the sources, the resultant water quality degradation at the affected water bodies, and, ultimately, the effect on recreation behavior. This linkage is rarely present in the empirical literature which is, thus, deficient for water pollution control policy assessment purposes. In this paper, we estimate the relative recreational swimming benefits that may result from controlling point and nonpoint sources of pollution, respectively, in New Hampshire's lakes. We use a repeated discrete choice framework to model swimming behavior as a function of each lake's level of eutrophication, bacteria, and oil and grease. For each pollutant, at each affected lake, we identify which source is responsible for the pollution, and we conduct scenarios controlling each pollution source independently, and then, taken together. Seasonal benefit estimates are presented for each scenario. Coupled with information on the most cost effective means of generating the scenarios, these estimates provide a useful starting point for a quantitative assessment of the net recreation benefits of policies to improve the quality of New Hampshire lakes.

The analysis of river pollution and assessment of spatial and temporal variation in hydrochemistry are essential to river water pollution control in the context of rapid economic growth and growing pollution threats in China. In this study, we focused on hydrochemical characteristics of the Luanhe River Basin (China) and evaluation of 12 hydrochemical variables obtained from 32 monitoring stations during 2001–2010. In each study year, the streams were monitored in the three hydrological periods (April, August, and October) to observe differences in the impacts of agricultural activity and rainfall pattern. Multivariate statistical methods were applied to the data set, and the river water hydrochemical characteristics were assessed using the water quality identification index (WQIIM). The results showed that parameters had variable contribution to water quality status in different months except for ammonia nitrogen (NH4-N) and total nitrogen (TN), which were the most important parameters in contributing to water quality variations for all three periods. Results of WQIIM revealed that 18 sites were classified as 'meeting standard' while the other 14 sites were classified as 'not meeting standard', with most of the seriously polluted sites located in urban area, mainly due to discharge of wastewater from domestic and industrial sources. Sites with low pollution level were located primarily in smaller tributaries, whereas sites of medium and high pollution levels were in the main river channel and the larger tributaries. Our findings provide valuable information and guidance for water pollution control and water resource management in the Luanhe River Basin.

Lake Päijänne

Estimation of water quality impacts plays an important role in the planning of water pollution control. In this paper the connection of water quality aspects with the rest of the planning procedure is examined in the light of a case study area, Lake Päijänne in Finland. For this area an integrated water resource development plan was made by the Finnish water authorities. In order to diminish the adverse effects resulting from effluents of pulp and paper mills and municipalities, different pollution control alternatives were drawn up. Next, forecasts about the development of water quality in different alternatives were made. The most important parameters from the point of view of the different modes of water utilization were taken into account. These parameters were oxygen, phosphorus, COD, lignin and colour. In addition, in assessing the impacts, toxity of effluents was taken into consideration. The impacts of these parameters on the usability and utilization of water areas were analyzed. The forecasts of impacts on vacation settlement, water supply and fisheries were made. In the comparison of the alternatives, numerous intangible factors were involved. In the assessment of the alternatives the costs of water pollution control measures, the benefits and the adverse effects were taken into consideration. The impacts of intangible factors were assessed in each alternative by comparing the water use possibilities with the goals that had been set.

Set Up

Prevention of pollution due to stormwater flow is the new challenge in water pollution control. With a view to avoid heavy investments in buffering capacity, a new process called Actiflo® has been developed. This process allows an upflow velocity of 130 m/h over the lamella, which means a total area of only 0.03 m2 per m3/h of influent capacity. Under these conditions, a reduction of 80% of the TSS is achieved using about 60g/m3 of ferric chloride and 0.8 g/m3 of polyelectrolyte. High compactness and quick start up of the process allows one to set up the Actiflo® in any place where prevention of stormwater flow is suitable, with low operating and investment costs compared to conventional solutions.
