ABSTRACT: With the
development and reform of water price policy, the most common view is that the
total cost of water price can reflect the tradable traits of water resources,
which can enhance the water use efficiency and achieve water resources
sustainable utilization. Besides in actual pricing operation, from the angle of
protection cost, water price characterizes the cost of controlling pollution
and protecting water environment. Based on the two factors of water environment
capacity and ecological water consumption embodied by the environment water
price, this paper puts forward an effective environmental water price
calculation model based on three elements of sewage treatment fee, ecological
water price and water quality maintenance fee. And this paper takes the data of
Hefei as an example, calculates reasonable environmental price, comparing which
with the existing price, and finds the main existing problem which needs to be
solved urgently in management.
