Previously, water quality in the Li River had suffered greatly from an increasing volume⑤ of tourists, [2]many of whom frequently threw garbage⑥ into the river.Many tour boats contributed to⑦ the problem too.Kitchens on board⑧ were using lots of oil, which was often thrown into the water.The growth in tourism also meant the local population rose rapidly, as well as the number of commercial and industrial enterprises⑨.Water pollution levels increased, [3]with more household and commercial waste ending up⑩ in the river.In order to feed more people, more chemicals were used to increase crop production.These chemicals led to severe water quality issues, [4]causing a decrease in the number of fish species.Local officials were concerned [5]that the pollution was damaging the natural environment and felt that urgent steps should be taken to restore⑪ the river's original beauty.

减少漓江中的水污染
美丽的漓江及其令人赞叹的周边景色是中国广西壮族自治区最著名的旅游目的地之一,每年吸引了数百万国内外游客。然而,它作为顶级旅游目的地的名声给漓江水质带来了负面影响。本报道就是着眼于水污染问题以及已采取的一些应对措施。
过去,游客数量的增加使漓江的水质严重恶化,许多游客常常将垃圾抛入江中,游船数量众多,也是导致这一问题出现的原因之一。船上厨房使用过的大量食用油经常被倒入江中。旅游业的增长意味着当地人口和工商企业的数量迅速增加。越来越多的生活和商业垃圾最终流入江中加重了水污染程度。为了养活更多的人,更多的化学物质被用于提高农作物产量。这些化学物质造成了严重的水质问题,导致鱼的种类减少。地方官员担心水污染对自然环境的破坏,认为必须采取紧急措施以恢复漓江昔日的美丽。
一个全面的治理方案启动,其中包括一系列应对该问题的措施。废水处理设施的建设改善了水质,促进了水资源保护。生活垃圾的收集和运输也得到了改善。几十家污染企业被关闭或搬迁。当地政府制定了有关工业进一步发展的严格规定,同时也出台了关于游船路线和垃圾处理方法的新规定。此外,地方当局开始通过媒体宣传环保意识,并鼓励人们更多地使用清洁能源。与此同时,他们开始定期检查,并且对旅游机构的违规行为进行处罚。有了这些举措,相信漓江之美将得到保护并世代相传。
另外,雄心勃勃的“水十条计划”也正在全国范围解决水污染问题。诸如“河长制”等方案让高层官员承担起减少水污染的职责。随着这些运动的开展,中国的水路正在走向洁净、可持续的未来。
