It takes the role of adjusting climate, slowing flood, storing water, alleviating drought, maintaining the water body's purifying capacity, protecting biodiversity as well as vegetating fish and reed, developing eco-tourism etc.. Now it is degenerating under the pressure from both physical and human society. This paper studied the process, condition and root causes of the lake shrinking, pollution, biodiversity losing and disasters. Adaptation and integrative management strategies are also put forward for maintaining the ecological function and sustainable development.展开更多
