How to deal with the repollution of river

The river in my hometown, which is called Wenruitang River, was seriously polluted . More and More people called for the river to be cleaned. As a response, the government of Wenzhou has worked out a 16-year-plan to clean the river. Up to present, the government has spent billions of money .However, the result is not as good as expected. The river is repolluted quickly. Then ,what should the government do?

The Wenzhou government has paid attention to this situation and taken a lot of measures .They set up the forum of Wenruitang River , solicited articles whose topic is protecting the mother river and called up the public to protect through newspaper, radio and other media. No denying that these activities are necessary , but they are not efficient enough.

To protect the river from repolluting, I think the government should punish the people or factories pouring waste into the the river. To the citizen, the government should send inspector to each part of river to . To the factory, the government can shut down the illegal and organise inspected visits to the legal . As there are too many so-called legal factories which are actually illegal, the government should paid much more attention to these legal ones, who in my opinion are the main pollution markers.
