Overwater Lotus Plantation—A Strategic Conception about Urban Waters Maintenance with Floating Aquatic Ecological Industrial Chain

Abstract

In view of the severe problems in urban waters pollution prevention and treatment, the paper creatively comes up with a new strategic conception. According to the strategy, some simple, firm and buoyant lotus boats are used the carriers and underwater sludge is collected for massive planting floating aquatic products so as to purify the water by dredging and root system absorption. It can greatly improve the microclimate regulation and landscape connotations deepening. When the case allows, an integrated industrial chain made of overwater floating aquatic eco-plantation and derivative tourism can be reasonably developed to guarantee the capital for sustainable operation of the strategy. In addition, it is noteworthy that the operation process of the strategy has ecological demonstrating and educational significance.
