Projet du parc linéaire de l’humedal Juan Amarillo, 2000-2018, Bogota, Colombie by Eduardo Samper Martinez

“…These ecological challenges became urban and technical challenges during the 20th century with the channelling and containment of the many rivers (rios) which course through the savannah, causing the loss of the area’s function as a filter and buffer zone for the rainwater and the rios that flow down from the mountains and the paramos. As a result of the intense urban pressure of the last twenty years, these wetlands are in very poor condition and have become even more vulnerable. …”

Study on the Construction Plan of Countryside Type Ecological Belt Based on Ecological Orientation:Taking the Ecological Restoration of Ecological Belt of Chunzi River in Longgang... by TANG Yawen, LIU Xuepeng, HUANG Yilong, YU Yuanyan, LUO yao

“…Ecological belt,is the innovative practice of ecological civilization in Guangdong province,the idea and interpretation of happy rivers and lakes,and the product of water management to a certain stage.In order to explore the methods and approaches of ecological restoration in the construction of ecological belt,taking the ecological belt of Chunzi River in Longgang District,Shenzhen as an example,this paper investigates and monitors the water environment and water ecology of Chunzi River in detail by means of field investigation and experimental analysis,and proposes systematically the water ecological restoration scheme in ecological belt construction according to the theory of focal species.The results indicate that:①Through analyzing the structure and diversity indices of aquatic organisms,the water bodies are in a moderate to heavy pollution state,and higher aquatic organisms are dominated by exotic fishes.The aquatic ecosystem is severely damaged;while the terrestrial ecosystem is less disturbed.②The sewage treatment plant (with effluent water quality reaching the ready class III) — integrated constructed wetland-reservoir water quality purification system,the habitat improvement system of optimized forest structure in mountain-waterfront-shallow,and the symbiotic stable ecosystem of “submerged plants-floating-leaved plants-emergent plants-zooplankton-fish” are put forward,and a water ecology pattern of conservation-recreation-protection is built.③In the future,combined with the implementation of the project,continuous monitoring of water environment and water ecology will be carried out,and restoration scheme will be optimized and improved,so as to provide Shenzhen sample for the construction of ecological belt in Guangdong Province.…”

Hydrodynamic Effects of River-Lake System Connectivity on Ecological Restoration of Urban Rivers: A Case Study of Liede River by WANG Shaobo, ZHANG Shu, XIONG Yulong, ZHOU Xinmin

“…The findings indicate that the average slope of the Liede River bed is 1.95‰, exhibiting typical characteristics of a mountain stream. The operation of the sluice gate at the mouth of the Liede River primarily affects the water depth of approximately one-third of the river upstream of the gate, while the water depth in the middle and upper reaches is mainly controlled by the upstream replenishment flow. …”
