Preventing emissions vs improving water quality,
Which one better?

What is the Difference?
We certainly often hear the term better to prevent than cure. Of course, we all agree on that. But what about improving quality, is that better than preventing?
A researcher named Dan Pan tries to compare 2 different regulations on environmental impacts.
One of the regulations is based on environmental quality limits. the other is based on the market, but we will call it improving water quality because it gives reward and punishment on environmental performance.
Preventing Emissions:
• Restrictions or closings of companies that violate environmental quality standards
• Restricted areas must protect their water
• Implementing comprehensive water conservation
• Strengthens water recovery and protection
Improving water quality
Give awards to mayors whose evaluation scores are good, and adequate, whose evaluations are bad. There are several parameters defined in determining water quality such as: COD intensity, water quality, and industrial wastewater standards
