How to solve the water conservancy and hydropower project and ecological environment

The construction of water conservancy and hydropower projects has a great impact on the local social, economic and ecological environment.

Before the construction, there should be sufficient planning to minimize the impact of the project on the local environment.

1 Establishment of environmental impact assessment system

Environmental impact assessment system refers to the construction of projects in a region that may affect the environment, before planning or other activities, the possible impact on the environment of the surrounding area for investigation, prediction and evaluation, and put forward countermeasures to prevent and control environmental pollution and damage, as well as the development of the corresponding program. Before carrying out the construction of water conservancy projects, the first thing to do is to carry out an environmental condition survey on the local climate, environment, hydrology, water quality, soil, aquatic organisms, population and so on. Secondly, according to the results of the investigation of environmental impact prediction, the proposed water conservancy project construction may be on the local environmental impact prediction, and predict the degree of impact. Finally, a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed water conservancy project construction, from the overall evaluation of the proposed project elements and processes may be on the environment and the social environment and the degree of change, to provide a basis for comparing the selection of programs.

2 Integration of ecological environmental protection into water conservancy construction projects

(1) In the design stage of water conservancy projects, in the spirit of the concept of harmonious development, to create conditions for the growth of plants and animal habitats, and at the same time, to provide conditions for the spawning of fish and provide habitats and refuges for birds and waterfowl.

(2) In the construction phase of the project, priority should be given to the adoption of environmentally friendly technical measures and the use of environmentally friendly materials that are conducive to plant growth and animal growth.

(3) In improving the landscape, the principles of water conservancy aesthetics should be applied to design waterworks buildings with beautiful forms that harmonize with the landscape; emphasis should be placed on the prevention of the occurrence and prevalence of diseases as well as the prevention and control of pests and diseases during the design process.

(4) In the completion stage of the water conservancy project, the environmental impact monitoring and feedback mechanism of the water conservancy project should be established, timely environmental tracking and evaluation, and found that there are obvious adverse impacts should be taken in a timely manner to improve the measures to minimize the degree of damage.

3 As soon as possible to establish and implement the ecological compensation mechanism

Because of the construction of water conservancy projects on the region's economy has a great impact, especially on the local ecological environment caused a lot of damage, relying on the local capacity is difficult to make the ecological balance, the economy has been developed. Therefore, the ecological compensation mechanism should be implemented, adhere to the principle of "who damages, who compensates", and clarify the main body of ecological compensation and the scope of compensation. In the construction of water conservancy projects, a part of the funds should be set aside in the construction funds of water conservancy projects for the local ecological compensation to improve the local ecological environment and promote the local ecological balance.

Water conservancy and hydropower engineers urgently need to further establish and improve the awareness of ecological and environmental protection, fully aware of the water conservancy and hydropower projects on the environment and ecology may have a significant and potential impact on the development of watersheds, water conservancy and hydropower project planning, design, construction, scheduling and reservoir operation, should be given full consideration to the ecological and environmental requirements, so that the project in the benefit of mankind at the same time, the ecological environment of the adverse effects to a minimum. Adverse impact on the ecological environment is minimized.
