Water shortage in cities such as Shijiazhuang bath piled on to serious private groundwater | shortage city | bath _ news

"Shijiazhuang bath industry is developing rapidly, though it developed cities such as Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Guangzhou, there is a big gap, but faster than it is stunning. ”

Yang Guang, Shijiazhuang, July 27, according to voice of reports the news vertical and horizontal, walking on a road in Shijiazhuang city, you can see all kinds of large and small bath Center. But rapid development in stark contrast with the bath industry is booming, sore is the shortage of water in Shijiazhuang: Hebei province, is one of most provinces water shortage in China, only one-eighth of the country's water resources per capita, Shijiazhuang Hebei water shortage was "disastrous". Related data show that Shijiazhuang 228.9 cu m of water resources per capita, less than the national average of one-tenth, water shortage has become an important local economic and social development constraints. Not just in Shijiazhuang, yinchuan, Hefei, Hohhot, Taiyuan and other similar phenomena also----bath ever-larger, grade and higher, in order to curb the baths and other specialty industries, reduce the waste of water resources, frequently raising the price of water, but some bath Center on the groundwater to avoid pricing leverage.

　　Vertical and horizontal reviews:

We read the report has found that early in 2006, the Shijiazhuang City Government had used to bath industry against blind development started a so-called "braking system", saying that to limit bathing industries blind development, no more new large luxury bath Center. That year, Shijiazhuang bath Center has more than 150 enterprises. However, startup called a brake system for 8 years, bath number does not fall but rise in Shijiazhuang, which has grown to more than more than 200, 8 years one-third.

Raising the price of water is only to see the hand of market regulation, Government control is a visible hand. Invisible hand does not work, we must rely on visible hands play a role. It is regrettable that, this should be visible or invisible. In such cases, but every day yelling "urban water shortage, water scarcity, and grave" what resonates with society?
