Page 389. DISCUSSIONS AND REFLECTIONSIn this charter, the obstac1es and opportunities for carrying out the integratedapproach are discussed. Also, some associated questions with municipal solid wastemanagement are thought over again during this thesis work. These questions areaddressed to betteTunderstand the thesis.9.1 The Obstacles and OpportunitiesShortage of finance to invest the municipal solid waste treatment plant and sortingwaste can be Olleof big obstac1esin implementing this integrated approach. But dueto the rapid economic growth rate, the international funding is enormously flowing inChina. So, it is not very difficult to borrow the international finance, especially for theloan of importing equipment.Lack of environmental awareness is Olle of the other big obstac1es. The wastemanagement and sorting waste education difficult to be carry out at the verybeginning. So, the municipality has to persist, especially when no obvious resultwould be expected during the initial stages. Management should be competent; ifpeople see the waste separated by them to be mixed in some transfer stations orlandfill, then previous efforts will be lost and the confidence of some residents will bediscouraged, and municipality willlose credit within residents and also make difficultto implement again. Step by step, let people see the achievement, even smallachievement. In addition, residents of Jingshan relatively rely on the localgovemment, therefore, the combination of education, economic incentives andenvironmental restrictions perhaps can be help to sort waste and built theenvironmental concerns within residents.Although, China is facing a lot of problems both on economy and environment, therapid potential of development of China likely gives us the enough space ofimagination for optimal future, this is also suitable for Jingshan case.9.2 Lessons from the Municipal Sewerage Water Treatment SystemAt present, Chinese cities have adopted the model of the leading industri al countriesby using the same sewerage water collection system to collection whole municipalsewer inc1uding storm water, gray water and black water, each city has at least Ollewaste water treatment plant, just because the existing sewerage water collectionsystem mixed storm, gray and black waste, the work load of waste water treatmentplant is added up to a couple of times or more than ten times sometimes. And thefunction of waste water treatment plant is only to separate the black water out of the
Page 39rest of sewerage water, which means the dean standard ofwaterwaste water treatment plant is just reach the gray water's.after being treated inTherefore, if China had separately designed and built the collection systemspecifically for storm water, gray water and black water, the both investment andoperation costs ofwaste water treatment would have been remarkable saved. But now,it seems too late to change the all system, the whole following solutions have to basedon the existing system. From this lesson, Olleinspiration could be obtained that ismunicipal solid waste treatment should not repeat the history of municipal solid wastetreatment. Do not to mix the all kinds of waste or to find the solution for the mixedwaste! The wise choices are to separate waste at source and find solutions for everyspecific waste. These would avoid leaving countless troubles for future generations.9.3 The Significant Meaning of Energy Recover in ChinaIn China, coal remains the dominant position in the primary energy supply andconsumption of China. Coal consumption accounted for approximate 70% of totalenergy consumption in 1996 (China Statistical Yearbook, 1997). So, energy recoverfrom waste does not only mean to save natural resource but to replace coal by usingbiogas as energy source and to avoid the coal relevant environmental pollution,especially greenhouse effect produced by COz.10. CONCLUSIONSThe municipal solid waste management situation in Jingshan is critical. To reconstructcrude dumping into sanitary landfill and to install biogas waste treatment plant mightbe suitable technical solutions for Jingshan based on this preliminary study. Thesuggested integrated approach is necessary and should be implemented step by step.Although, the obstades of shortages of finance and environmental awareness areexisting, this approach still have chance to be carried out in Jingshan.
