Abstract:

Human beings can not survive without water. Owning to a severe water pollution and an exacerbating water environment imperiling people’s drinking water, it is now critical to protect drinking water sources. The existing laws lack effective protection and have a unfit punishment for destroying water sources, and pay inadequate attention on drinking water in rural areas and underground water. This paper, based on the current situations regarding drinking water sources, presents some suggestions that the future legislations or laws modification shall be based on sustainable development, enhance protection on water sources in rural areas and underground water, combine environmental protection and eco-construction, intensify the punishment against drinking water pollution, and establish an eco-compensation system, all this contributing to an effective protection of Human being’s water sources.

摘要：

水是人类生存和发展的物质基础，我国的水污染非常严重，导致水环境遭到严重破坏，居民的饮用水安全受到威胁，保护饮用水源刻不容缓，现行法律对饮用水源保护方面的较少，惩罚力度小，对于农村饮用水及地下水关注不足。希望在今后相关法律的制定和修改中以可持续发展为指导思想，加强农村水源地和地下饮用水的保护，把环境保护和生态建设相结合，加大对饮用水污染的处罚力度，建立生态补偿制度，切实保护人类的生命之源。
