Increasing scarcity of freshwater resources and growing environmental awareness give rise to the use of reclaimed wastewater as an additional source of water supply. However, the amount of wastewater that can be reclaimed for reuse is subject to many factors, ranging from technical possibility...

Stockbreeding industries are increasing rapidly in rural areas around big cities in China, especially the rural areas around Beijing. This increase carries high risks to the environment due to emissions of large amounts of pollutants in terms of COD (chemical oxygen demand), T-N (total nitrogen)...

We create a comprehensive policy evaluation system that is based on the concept of integrated basin management. From the point of view of economic development and environmental protection, we set up an equilibrium environmental tax, optimize its allocation and simulate its effects on reducing...

In the study, we proposed the environmental policies to decrease water pollutants that generate from household, non-point and production in Jiaxing city of China. We especially introduced biomass plant technology for pig farming industry in order to improve the water environment. We constructed...

Pollutants emitted by pollution generation sources do not only deteriorate the water quality, but the emissions of greenhouse gas also contribute to the green house effect. Material balance of biomass wastes shows there is a trade-off between water pollution and global warming. Therefore, in...
