Themes and Topics
 

Ⅰ. Fostering Implementation

    1. Estimation of water pollution loads in agriculture and water quality category and standards of control: analysis and prediction of different type and different source of water pollutants and its total loads; water quality category and standards of control for different areas and types of pollutants.
    2. Municipal wastewater reuse for agriculture irrigation and assessment on its impact: key technologies of municipal wastewater reuse for agriculture irrigation; water quality control and management in municipal wastewater reuse for agriculture irrigation; environmental impact and health risk assessment in municipal wastewater reuse for agriculture irrigation.
    3. Water-saving irrigation technology based on agricultural water pollution control:  irrigation system construction for water-saving and pollution-prevention; exploring and application of new irrigation methods and technologies.
    4. Technological system of clean production and typical case studies: standards for techniques of agriculture clean production; components of technical system for agriculture clean production and study of its matching technology; case studies in achieving cleaner agricultural production, etc.

Ⅱ. Economic Instrument

    1. Ecological compensation mechanisms of water pollution control in agriculture: basic principles of payment for environmental services (PES); quantification of PES; practices in ecological compensation mechanisms.
    2. Market mechanisms of controlling the agricultural water pollution and water quality improvement: how to harness the market in making polluters pay; pricing to cover costs and taxing environmental externalities; optimize the economic environment to increase investment in water supply and sewage systems in rural areas.

Ⅲ.Enabling Environment

    1. Create coordination mechanism among institutions in order to secure sustainable use of water resources: system and policies to enable local stakeholders in managing the quality of their water resource and to accommodate the diverse users of water; a platform for joint decision making/negotiation involving all stakeholder groups;
    2. Improve administrative capabilities in water quality management in agriculture: water pollution supervision and law enforcement; increase awareness of pollution prevention technologies; facilitate social participation and policy advocacy and awareness.
