It is unable to reverse the tendency unless changing fundamental causes such as uncontrolled economical development, excess use of resources, and lack of public interest. Nevertheless, it should not be a choice of gthis or that.h One way to implement breakthrough measures can be the restoration of wetlands in urban area using sound ecological engineering to incorporate the restoration and the development. The way of restoration as well as the project target is presented in practical studies. |
