Riparian State

In 1988, some 70% of the Austrian population had sewerage and some percentage-points less biological wastewater treatment. Industry - except pulp and paper - had in 1988 biological treatment for 80% of its load, and pulp and paper for 20% of its load. The paper deals with the development of Austrian Water Law, with water pollution control and its advancement in the period 1968 to 1988, with foreseeable problem areas in water pollution control in the coming years, and finally presents a table with data relating to the main riparian states in the River Danube Basin. From these data and the development in Austria over time, it is to be concluded that the actual application of activities in water pollution control seem to be determined primarily by public or political awareness of this specific task and not so much by resources available.

And Control

The pulp and paper sector has been a significant source of water pollution in China for many years. The Chinese government has made great efforts on water pollution control for the pulp and paper sector. While actively participating in various international treaties and conventions related to environmental management and pollution control in this sector, China has created a comprehensive environmental management framework, including several environmental policies, regulations and standards. This study reviews the current environmental framework for the management and control of water pollutants generated by the pulp and paper industry in China, with reference to relevant experiences. Apart from assessing the achievements that China has made, this study proposes some recommendations to further enhance water pollution control capacity and facilitate effective legal enforcement. Approaches such as improvements to environmental standards and permit systems, technical upgrading, cleaner production strategy, environmental monitoring improvements, integration of financing channels for environmental improvement, and enhancement of social responsibilities of enterprises are addressed.

An estimated 80 % of all illnesses in developing countries is in one way or another related to water. In order to alleviate this most serious condition, the united Nations has initiated the “International Water Decade”, for which the estimated costs are $600 000 million, a sum which is far beyond any available means. By application of “low-cost technology” this sum could be reduced to $100 000 million which brings the objective within the reach of possibility. Details are given of the design and methods of construction of units which are best suited to the specific requirements and which would be simple, reliable and economical to operate. These can be constructed largely from local materials and by local labour. The need for appropriate training of both operators and the user population is stressed.
