Restoration of Yangtze River (China)
Along the midstream and downstream of Yangtze River, the number of lakes connected to the river drastically decreased from a hundred to three. As a result, the lakes’ ecology was badly destroyed, and their flood prevention and water storage abilities were quite damaged. In 1998, Yangtze River experienced the secondly largest flood after 1954. As post-disaster measures, total measures including constructing hydraulic systems, preventing epidemic, rebuilding housing areas, restoring ecosystem, and appealing for international cooperation, are decided as the nation and are now in operation. Nature restoration has been underway, focusing on wetlands.
