Abstract

Groundwater pollution risk assessment is the premise and foundation of groundwater pollution prevention and control. In order to make new breakthrough, groundwater pollution risk assessment should be combined with economic analysis to carry on environmental protection and management of groundwater. In Jilin city, the Songhua River, as the main source of water supply, has poor risk condition. The groundwater resources can play a leading role in emergency water supply. Industrial structure was gradually formed to be heavy industry-oriented in the study area. It’s hard to improve the current condition of large consumption of resources, much discharge of pollutants, backward production technology and low utilization of resource in a short period of time. Therefore, it’s significant to reduce the risk of groundwater pollution to carry on ecological construction, develop the appropriate industry development model and eventually realize the balance and sustainable development of resources, environment and economy on the base of industrial adjustment optimization study. The book adopts overlay index method to assess groundwater pollution risk on the condition of taking shallow groundwater as the research object. And then, the mechanism of the industrial structure and groundwater pollution is revealed by identifying high level of groundwater pollution risk and main pollution sources. Finally, the measures of groundwater pollution control are put forward from the perspective of industrial economics.
