中国的河流和海洋因受污染而在走向死亡，并因此在威胁着该国的生态安全。这其中，污染行业难辞其咎。汪永晨说，中国需要一部环境安全法来保护该国的水资源。
China’s water resources: environmental security needed

China faces a national security threat: its rivers and seas are dying – and polluting industries are to blame. The country needs new laws to protect its precious water resources, writes Yongchen Wang.

最近一篇以治理青海省境内河流源头污染为内容的文章提到，人们将采取行动保护河流源头并解决环境问题，这与本篇文章提到的问题类似。但是制定相关法律真的能解决水污染么？我们已经有太多法律条文和规定了，但是知法犯法的情况还是屡禁不止，所以我认为核心问题是法律的执行，而不是法律的制定。
Recently, a piece of writing titled Tackling the water pollution from the head sources of the river in Qinghai Province quotes people to take action to protect the river from the source and prescribed some serious and severe environmental problems at the sources of three rivers. Similar to this article, can water pollution really be tackled with constituting a policy or law? I think the answer is no, we do have great books of laws, still there are crimes. I think the core problem lies in law enforcement.
提到执法的问题，我今天看到《新京报》24版的报道称山西柳林县环保局长王某因为“企图给污染企业充当保护伞”被停职。不知道这种现象是个别的还是典型的。

When it comes to the implementation of Law, today's newspaper reported a Mr. Wang, Director to the Environmental Protection Bureau, Liulin County, Shanxi Province has been fired for his "intent to protect polluting companies". I don't know whether this is a single case or one of many.

好像这个水有很多个同级别的政府部门在管，谁听谁的，谁该管什么？这么富有争议的管理肯定分不清责任，所以永远是混水一坛啊。
It seems that many different governmental departments of the same level are dealing with this problem, but what exactly the hierarchy is and what the responsibilities are for each of them? This should be clarified, otherwise there is a mess forever.
比如能源浪费,节约可以减少能源的消耗,一定程度也就可以减少污染.
综合解决才能真正达到环境保护的目的.
In the case of energy wastage, conservation will decrease the consumption of energy, and it will decrease pollution to a certain extent. If we could comprehensively resolve environmental problems, we would really protect the environment.
环境的污染还是看得见的，脑子的污染却是恐怖的，无法琢磨的。靠强权硬法是不解决根本问题的。
现在我们以建设和谐社会为目标，将来就是要建设道德社会了！！
Pollution of the environment is after all a visible phenomenon; pollution of the mind is even more frightening, because it is intangible. Reliance on coercive power and stringent laws will not resolve underlying problems. Our present aim is to establish a harmonious society, but in future we should establish an ethical society!
我家门前的河流也是非常污染，在河南省漯河市临颍县城北街学校附近，住在这里十年间，河水发黑，臭气熏人，所有的垃圾都往河里排放，井水又臭又咸。我不相信政府不知道。中国就是这样，悟住缺点。
The river in front of my house is also incredibly polluted. During the ten years that I have lived in the neighborhood of the Chengbei Avenue school, located in Lei River city of Linying county, Henan province, the river has turned black, and it emits a repugnant stench. All trash is tossed into the river. Well water is foul and salty. I do not believe that the government is not aware of this. That's just how China is: trying to cover up shortcomings and problems..
是时候让政府认真进行考虑、并将口头承诺付诸实际解决这个问题。否则，多年后，无论你是政府官员和是平民百姓，我们都将没有清洁的水源。
It is time for the government to really take this issue into their consideration and do something for it, rather than only making verbal promises. Otherwise, years later we may have no clean water for both governors and ordinary people.
