A case study on sustainable development of dianchi lake wetland

Abstract

This paper begins from the discussion on the definition of urban wetland and then depicts the current situation and problems associated specifically with Chinese urban wetlands. The case study of the Dianchi Lake wetland is introduced to illustrate a successful example of Chinese systematic urban wetland conservation and development. From wetland plants guidance and water quality controls, increasing the self-purifying ability to construction guidance and controls, the paper provides a comprehensive process of urban wetland management. From the case study, this paper discusses the successful experience of wetland conservation and development as well, providing a strong guideline for corresponding cases across China and the world.
