water environment governanceIt refers to the treatment of water quality through physical, chemical and biological means to remove harmful components in the water, aiming to separate organic pollutants, suspended solids, ammonia nitrogen, phosphorus, bacteria and other pollutants contained in sewage or convert them into harmless Substances, thereby purifying sewage.

At present, China's water environment management industry started late. The first large city in China built a sewage treatment facility in 1984, with a design scale of 240000 cubic meters per day, using standard activated sludge treatment, and achieved good environmental benefits. Since then, the central government has successively implemented the preferential policy of international loans for sewage treatment (grants), the support policy of national debt funds, the policy of collecting and continuously increasing sewage treatment charges, and the market-oriented financing policy of BOT mode, etc., to ensure the adequacy of sewage treatment construction funds and accelerate the development of water environment treatment industry. From 2001 to 2010, the comprehensive improvement of the national water environment was intensified. During the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period, the country began to implement the strategy of "energy saving and emission reduction", and water environment governance has also entered the track of rapid development. Beginning in 2015, the State Council issued the "Water Ten Regulations", which were implemented nationwide, accelerating the release of water environment governance needs. In recent years, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment has further strengthened the efforts of water environment management. At the same time, under the guidance of government finance, the investment in water environment management has also shown a rapid growth trend.

Data show that the total length of urban drainage pipelines in China was 414000 kilometers in 2011 and will reach 744000 kilometers in 2019. Among these indicators, the length of drainage pipes in Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shandong, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Anhui, Hubei, Henan, Liaoning, and Tianjin is the longest in the country, accounting for 64.1 percent of the ten provinces and cities in 2019.

2021年中国水环境治理行业政策规划现状

In China,water environment governanceThe industry is still in the growth stage, the market concentration is not high, and some regions and market segments have strong vitality, such as the village sewage treatment market, the black and smelly water treatment market, the expansion and upgrading market of urban sewage treatment plants, and so on. In the future, the industry's demand for market-oriented services will gradually increase, and cross-regional resource integration and development trends will gradually become prominent. Enterprises have good technical level, strong service ability, good market reputation and strong financial strength. Driven by the scale effect, they will accelerate the gathering of various resource elements, further enhance their competitive advantages and seize market opportunities. In China, the concentration of water environment management industry will accelerate, and a number of national or regional leading and advanced enterprises will appear in the market.

With the gradual implementation of the factory upgrading and transformation, the water treatment facilities in the old urban area and the urban-rural fringe have been continuously improved, and the demand for water environment treatment equipment and solutions has been continuously released. The urban and rural sewage treatment market still has certain potential.
