Switzerland, with the cleanest water source in the world, why do the locals still worry about it?

Water is the source of all things, and any living thing in the world can't do without water. For any country, water resources are indispensable and precious wealth, so it is urgent to protect them. For example, in some countries that are mostly in desert areas, water resources are even more scarce, but there is one country in the world that is rated as "Yes", despite its abundant water resources. The cleanest water source? The country.

This country is Switzerland. Although Switzerland has a small territory and is not very abundant in natural resources, rivers and lakes can be seen everywhere. Only 6% of the fresh water resources in Europe come from Switzerland, which is called "Switzerland". European water tower? Good name. Because of the warming climate and melting glaciers, the number of lakes and rivers in Switzerland is still increasing. To say that the largest lake in Switzerland, it must be Lake Neuchatel; Speaking of the longest river in Switzerland, it is known as the Rhine; Switzerland also has the largest waterfall in Europe? Rhine waterfall, the waterfall is rich in water and magnificent.

Xiao Bian once traveled to Switzerland, and he was deeply impressed by this country since then. The whole Switzerland gives people a kind of though? High cold? But ten? Dignified Feeling, beautiful environment and fresh air, you can often see fountains in public places in the city. The water source of many public fountains is drinkable, unless it is not drinkable, there will be a sign next to it to remind passers-by.

In Switzerland, 95% of the residents will drink tap water directly at home, and turn on the tap to get water to drink. The taste of water is not astringent, and there is no disinfection smell. It is clear, sweet and a bit like mountain spring water. It is said by the Swiss that they sometimes like to pour some fruit-flavored syrup into the water to add flavor to the water.

The reason why Switzerland's water resources can be so clean is that Switzerland has made perfect measures to protect water resources, and the level of water resources treatment is among the best in the world. Locals also cherish water resources, and almost no one can swim in lakes in Switzerland. So why can Switzerland do this? This has to start from before. From 197 to 198, the rivers and lakes in Switzerland were actually in poor condition, and the water was full of algae. In addition to issuing a ban on swimming, the government began to install a large number of wastewater treatment systems in China, and in 1986, it imposed a ban on phosphorus detergents, which greatly improved the quality of water.

It is reasonable to say that people should be happy that the water source in our country can be so clean, but Xiaobian heard from the local people that many of them felt a little annoyed about it. At first, Xiaobian found it a little difficult to understand, but after listening to the explanation from the local people, he also expressed his understanding. In fact, the local people are not worried about the improvement of water quality. Who doesn't want clean domestic water? The main reason is that after the government installed the wastewater treatment system, a large amount of phosphorus in the lake was filtered, and with the use of phosphorus-containing detergents, algae in the lake became less, but the fish in the lake became less and less after losing nutrients.

The local people gave Xiao Bian a good example. Take Walen Lake as an example, the catch of Walen Lake dropped sharply from 6 tons in 197 to 1 tons in 28, and the number kept decreasing, resulting in fishermen losing their jobs. Now there are only more than 2 full-time fishermen in Switzerland, less than 3, which is one third of that in 197. Fishery is actually an integral part of Swiss industry, which can promote the economic growth of Switzerland. The decrease of fish also reduces the economic income of some residents to a certain extent, so some people will feel distressed about it. However, Xiao Bian feels that you can't have your cake and eat it. If you want to protect the environment, you can't take into account economic development. What are your unique views on this?
