At present, the deterioration of ecological environment occurred in rural areas. Many villages appeared in sewers, garbage all over the environmental pollution problems affecting the living standards of the villagers further. Previously thought that only industrialized cities will be the case, it is increasingly common in the countryside. In addition, with the development of production, a large number of unreasonable use of chemical fertilizer and pesticide, livestock and poultry breeding industry wastewater, waste gas and waste residue of any emissions of various pollutants in rural areas so that the inner loop, causing a large area of rural non-point source pollution, water pollution A very serious problem. Poor sanitation in rural areas, villages scattered layout, the production and living arrangements, and public facilities are extremely inconvenient, waste and sewage treatment capacity is weak, solid waste and untreated sewage discharged into water in rural areas, is exacerbated by This situation, therefore improving the rural ecological environment, especially the water environment is imminent.Academic research in the current issue of rural water pollution, mostly from the perspective of natural science and the pollution causes the formation of the corresponding solutions proposed by the neglect of the rural farmers and protector of the aquatic environment polluters. From the perspective of ecological anthropology, concerned about the change in the way of farmers living in rural production and the environmental impact of the water, indicating that the water environment pollution in rural areas, so more on the explanatory power. By analyzing the S village, the relationship between social change and water pollution, ecological anthropology from the perspective of trying to explain a relatively closed water system in the absence of township enterprises in rural communities outside of industrial pollution has not happened even social causes of water pollution. I believe that the root cause of this pollution is the most modern production farmers, lifestyle farmers to accept and to retain the traditional sense of the contradiction between. That is, on the one hand, as the economic level, closed the opening up of rural communities and farmers to accept and adapt to a number of modern production, way of life; the other hand, the farmer accumulation of years of conservative, selfish, sense of short-sighted not to eradicate in the short term. The conflict between the process of water pollution in the Tamura has been fully manifested. In this conflict, the ultimate protector of the villagers from the water into a water polluter, resulting in gradually decreasing levels of water features, from the initial drink becomes available only filth. We should tighten the focus and research in rural areas. To build a harmonious new countryside, we must take various measures to strengthen the environmental awareness of farmers of publicity and education, while efforts to improve infrastructure in rural areas, so that farmers self-consciously protect their environment for survival.
