摘要:With the development of the economy in China,water pollution problems have become increasingly prominent and have received extensive attention in academic circles. At present,the environmental regulation on water pollution is still confronted with several dilemmas,for instance,the externalities triggered by "race to the bottom" of local governments,the spillover of water pollution governance and the uncertainty of water pollution control. By combing the mechanism of government environmental regulation, we found that the government environmental regulation still faces such major difficulties as the local government departmentalism is difficult to eliminate, the problem of information asymmetry and the regulatory capture are still not, iceable then puts forward that these plights can be effectively solved through implementing the river chief system,improving the social supervision of water pollution control.
