Objective To understand the status and dynamic changes in the treatment of rural garbage and sewage in Shaanxi Province and provide the basis for relevant departments to formulate policies and measures. Methods Every year from 2016 to 2018, 600 administrative villages in 30 agricultural counties were randomly selected as monitoring points, and 3 000 households were selected as monitoring households. Monitoring data was obtained through data reading, interviews, and on-site observations. Results The three-year rural population coverage rate of the garbage treatment plant was 28.31%, 36.10%, 39.36%, respectively, and the sewage treatment plant coverage rate was 12.27%, 20.39%, 15.02%, respectively. The annual differences were statistically significant（χ²=23.24、22.42，P=0.00）. The proportion of monitoring points for the three-year unified collection of domestic garbage was 30.50%, 43.67%, 51.00%, respectively, and the percentage of monitoring points for incineration garbage was 16.67%, 15.00%, 8.33%, respectively, and the annual differences were statistically significant（χ²=53.25、20.19，P=0.00）. The proportion of domestic sewage discharge monitoring points through pipelines was 12.67%, 11.17%, 31.17%, respectively, and the proportion of monitoring points discharged into treatment plants was 4.33%, 6.00%, 15.17%, respectively, and the annual differences were both statistically significant（χ²=99.45、52.50，P=0.00）. Conclusion In recent years, the rural garbage and sewage treatment situation in Shaanxi Province had improved, but there was still much room for improvement. It is recommended to increase environmental protection publicity and government investment, strengthen daily supervision, pay equal attention to construction and management, control the random stacking and discharging of garbage and sewage, and enhance the disposal rate of garbage and sewage.

Objective: To understand the disinfection status and microbial pollution of water supply project in rural schools in Shaanxi Province in 2018, and to provide basis for improving drinking water quality in rural schools. Methods: Data of water quality of water supply project in rural schools of Shaanxi Province in 2018 was collected, and the disinfectant surplus and microbial index compliance rate were analyzed according to "Sanitary Standard for Drinking Water" (GB 5749-2006). Results: The overall compliance rate of microbial indicators of water supply projects in rural schools in Shaanxi Province was 68.09%, and that of groundwater microbial indicators(71.97%) was higher than that of surface water(61.42%)(χ2=15.68, P<0.01); The overall compliance rate of microbial indicators in flood season(71.85%) was higher than that in dry season(64.34%)(χ2=7.44, P<0.01); The rate of reaching the standard of disinfectant residue was 77.27%. The rate of reaching the standard of microbial index of water samples with disinfection measures was higher than that of water samples without disinfection measures (χ2=31.88, P<0.01), The rate of reaching the standard of microbial index of water samples with disinfectant residue(88.89%) was higher than that of water samples with disinfectant residue(44.44%)(χ2=12.28, P<0. 01). Conclusion The main cause of microbial contamination of drinking water in rural schools in Shaanxi Province is inadequate equipment of disinfection equipment in water supply projects or not being used as required. It is suggested that schools, education and health departments should take measures to strengthen supervision and management of water plants to ensure the normal use of disinfection equipment.
