Presentation on theme: "- Solar PV, electricity and water use & pollution"— Presentation transcript:

1 - Solar PV, electricity and water use & pollution
How do we deal with conflicting environment challenges/solutions? Do we have safeguard measure to guarantee win-win? - Solar PV, electricity and water use & pollution - Wind energy and bird migration corridors - Hydro-dam, fresh water ecosystem, biodiversity, forest ecosystems at upstream watershed

2 鱼类资源：保护区水域内分布有鱼类189种，包括长江特有鱼类66种（包括白鲟、达氏鲟、胭脂鱼）,占长江特有鱼类的44%。

4 Major threats to Fresh Water Fish
水利变化Changes to hydrology 水坝、跨流域调水、抽取地下水 水污染Water pollution 城市、工业点源、农业非点源 外来入侵物种Invasive Species 栖息地破坏habitat damage 渠化、航道建设 过度捕捞 overharvesting 全球气候变化 climate change

5 - Hydro total potential: 0.4-0.5billion kw/hrs
- Current: 0.14 – 0.2 billion kw/hrs 12th 5 yr plan: 2/3 of 11.4% non-petro based energy Hydropower development is on the rise again, particularly in the developing world. As this map shows, in Africa, Asia and Latin America, there is still significant hydropower capacity that can be developed. The scale and scope of this potential is massive – in Central America alone, over 350 new projects have been identified for development. Fortunately, entities like the World Bank are pushing to make this dam boom more compatible with ecological health. TNC has a lot to offer here.

6 Hydrodam and low-carbon society 低碳社会中的水电
水电的诱惑hydropower’s temptation: 清洁的, 可再生的能源；没有或者几乎可以忽略不计的二氧化碳排放量 clean and neglectable CO2 emission particularly in post-Copenhagen era 就当前的能源状况而言，水电是一个不可能回避的选择hydropower Vs coal-based energy production; “清洁”水电的生态影响 : Ecological impact of “clean" hydropower 改变水文过程 改变水温和泥沙量 淹没栖息地 洄游通道被阻断 洪泛平原丧失

7 County Safeguard mechanism
1. Annual Expert Review Committee on modification to National Protected Areas in SEPA (on-going for 3 years) County Safeguard mechanism 2. Information disclosure and legal demand for administrative review 3. Petitions to National Congress through CCPCC, and CPC members 4. Media support 4. EIA Processes on Dam: public participation and information disclosure
