Study on Sources, Causes and Countermeasures of Water Pollution in Rural Areas of Guangxi in China
With the gradual acceleration of urbanization and industrialization, considerable changes have taken place in the production and lifestyle of peasants. However, industrial wastes, domestic and production wastes, and livestock effluent discharge are increasing gradually, thereby intensifying water pollution in rural areas day by day. Water pollution sources and causes in rural areas of Guangxi Autonomous Region were analysed in the research, and the countermeasures were proposed from multiple perspectives. Results demonstrate that wastewater and waste gas emission by township enterprises, wanton production of livestock breeding, large-scale generation of agricultural nonpoint source pollutions, and rural domestic sewage and waste are the main sources of water pollution in rural areas. The long-term existences of an urban-rural dual economic structure, imperfect laws and management systems, and restrictions on rural development have created the current conditions of the water environment in rural areas. Management strategies for the rural water environment are proposed, such as coordinating economic development and environmental protection, improving treatment efficiency of rural domestic waste sewage, increasing the technological content of agricultural production, and enhancing pollution regulation of township enterprises. The conclusions in this study expand the research perspectives and enrich the research content on water pollution problems in rural areas.
