Study on the horizontal ecological compensation scheme between southern Zhejiang counties --- Take Aojiang river basin as an example

Abstract

The valley ecological protection compensation has been widely proposed in recent years as a policy to adjust the environmental and economic benefits of valley ecological protection. Horizontal ecological protection compensation embodies the basic concept of equal rights and responsibilities and encourages the upstream region to provide better ecological products and realize value compensation, so as to truly motivate the green development in the upstream region. Taking the Aojiang river basin in southern Zhejiang as the research object, this paper analyzes the framework system, compensation scope, subject and object, compensation basis, assessment method and accounting method of horizontal ecological compensation between counties. Two horizontal ecological compensation plans between southern Zhejiang counties are obtained. Plan A: The assessment sections are set up in Aojiang river Xilu village (A-1 #), Cangnan boundary section of Hushan inland river (A-2 #), Cangnan boundary section of Xiaojiangtang river (A-3 #), Cangnan boundary section of Hengyang branch river (C#) and Meixi Pingyang boundary section (D#). The fund allocation ratio is 59%, 6%, 6%, 18% and 11% respectively. Plan B: The assessment sections are set up in Aojiang river Liming village (B#), Cangnan boundary section of Hengyang branch river (C#) and Meixi Pingyang boundary section (D#). The fund allocation ratio is 67%, 21%, 12% respectively. It will provide reference and technical support for Wenzhou to establish a scientific and feasible horizontal ecological compensation mechanism in the upper and lower reaches of the city basin and the left and right banks by 2020.
