大多数经济发达国家的环境保护意识和法律观念很强,人们遵守法律、法规的自觉性高。如爱尔兰,除了工业污染源和生活污废水必须按规定进行处理和控制外,连牲口的粪便都通过集水沟集中起来进行处理。1996年在日本京都大学召开的“面向21世纪的水资源与环境研究”国际会议上,与会代表介绍了各自国家水资源开发利用和环境保护方面的经验、存在问 Most economically developed countries have a strong awareness of environmental protection and legal concepts, and people are highly conscious of their compliance with laws and regulations. In Ireland, in addition to industrial pollution sources and domestic wastewater, which must be treated and controlled as required, even livestock excrement is collected through gullys for processing. At the 1996 International Conference on “Research on Water Resources and Environment for the 21st Century” held by Kyoto University, Japan, delegates introduced their experiences in water resources development and environmental protection in their respective countries.
