Abstract

In many developing countries, especially in China, water pollution, which brings a great threat to public health, is a serious problem. In order to control water pollution and provide the scientific basis for governments to make the sustainable development plan, it is very important to find out the social and economic factors of wastewater discharge. In this paper, six social and economic factors affecting wastewater discharge are selected and analyzed. These six factors are GDP, per capita GDP, R & D investment, foreign direct investment, industrial structure and environmental awareness. Governments at all levels can adjust these six factors to achieve the goal of protecting the ecological environment while developing the economy.
