Abstract:It has shown serious problems such as water shortage, water ecology and water environment pollution under the influence of various factors, such as climate change and artificial development, water deficient regions in China"s water shortage area, In recent years, the concept of "sponge city" has brought opportunities to improve the water system problems in water shortage areas. So taking the planning of sponge city on Shouguang City as example, the paper analyzes the planning and construction mode of sponge city in water shortage area.Through this plan, a sponge construction index system characterized by the use of water resources has been formed; a runoff control system with partitioned layered placement was established in order to strengthen the management and implementation of the sponge index; river channel connectivity, widening dredging, open channel restoration and other projects are implemented to restoring urban river water ecological function and to strengthening drainage system protection; a low-impact green space system is formed based on rainwater storage and purification, therefore to create a strategy for sponge construction in the semiarid areas in north China, and providing the reference for the construction of China"s water shortage city sponge type area.
