Abstract:In 2025, the State Council Executive Meeting deployed to carry out the action for the protection and construction of beautiful rivers and lakes. To comprehensively advance the protection and construction of beautiful rivers and lakes and strengthen the exemplary and leading role of outstanding cases, taking the ecological governance of Shi Lake as an example, the strategies and technical systems for the comprehensive restoration and protection of beautiful lakes are proposed. Adhering to the ecological concept of “learning from nature and letting nature take its course”, the specific paths and implementation methods for the ecological governance of Shi Lake are systematically elaborated from the aspects of constructing resilient water areas to enhance the resilience of regional drainage and flood control safety, comprehensively managing external and internal pollution to improve water environment quality, exploring a smart regulation model for multi-source ecological water use to ensure ecological water levels, implementing integrated land-water near-natural restoration to enhance biodiversity, and creating waterfront spaces to meet the water-friendly needs of surrounding residents. The achievements are conducive to promoting the comprehensive development and utilization of beautiful rivers and lakes as well as the integrated development of aquatic products and cities, and provide reference and replicable experiences for the protection and construction of similar lakes.
