On Waterscapes in Urban Residential Area from the Perspective of Rain Garden and Eco-pool Designs

Due to the high cost for operating and maintaining waterscapes, waterscapes in many residential areas have been laid aside and even become pollution sources. Taking MCC Beiluyuan (Residential Area) in Chongqing Municipality for example, concrete strategies of using natural terrains to design rain garden and eco-pool, collect rainwater, construct bottom of the bath, and combine plants were introduced, so as to explore a new approach of creating green and ecological modern residential landscapes.

Maintaining eco-health of urban waterscapes with imbedded integrating ecological entity： Experimental approach

An imbedded integrating ecological entity(IIEE) was designed to combine landscaping, replenishing-water purifying and ecosystem maintaining simultaneously. With this IIEE, within 15 d experiment, simulated replenish water(SRW) with high(SRW-Ⅰ) or low(SRW-Ⅱ) nutrients concentration was well purified. Relative removal rates of CODCr, TP, TN, Chl-a and turbidity reached 84.87%, 84.05%, 94.76%, 188.17%, 110.93% when dealing SRW-Ⅰ, and 52.62%, 90.05%, 82.44%, 166.15%, 202.99%, respectively, when dealing SRW-Ⅱ. The well grew flora and fauna of IIEE benefit eco-maintaining and landscaping. Separately, the maximal root and stem length-increments of Cyperus alternifolius Linn. were 26.1 mm and 28.4 mm, while for Potamogeton crispus Linn. 18.3 mm and 25.7 mm. Mortality for both Bellamya aeruginosa and Misgurnus anguillicaudatus was both under 2.96%. The analysis of variance(ANOVA) indicated that most experimental indexes in each group performed more significantly better than those in their control. All results indicated that the IIEE is a promising technology for future urban waterscapes construction.

Effect of Waterscape Structures on Nitrogen and Phosphorus Removal Efficiency in Revetment Wetland System

The effect of aeration and waterscape structures reaeration system on nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiency in revetment wetlands was studied by laboratory simulation. The results showed that the removal efficiency of TN, TP in tranquil flow waterscape was 61% and 72%; aeration and waterscape structure system promoted nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiency in revetment wetland through increasing the DO content in the water, compared with system without artificial oxygen, the removal efficiency of TP in waterscape structures increased by 11. 6%-19. 1%, and that of TN increased by 10.5%-16. 1%; meanwhile, disturbance brought by the waterscape structure systems enhanced the adsorption of TP and flocculation effect; in addition, nitrification was confirmed as the main control step of TN removal in revetment wetland system.

Taking representative hotels in Guangzhou City for examples,this study investigated ecological waterscape designs in those hotels from the perspective of eco-design of animals and plants,water and bank.It was proposed that the eco-design of animals and plants requires the scientific application and combination of indigenous plants to protect bio-diversity and create a balanced ecosystem;eco-design of water should focus on the construction of an excellent water circulation system;eco-design of bank should help enhance the relationship between waterscapes and viewers,and satisfy human's nature of loving water.Besides,problems in those hotel waterscape designs were also analyzed and corresponding suggestions put forward,for example,in view of ecological problems in the design of water circulation system and the improvement of water quality,it was proposed that a water eco-balance system should be created and water kept clean;in view of security problems caused by polluted water,protective measures should be taken to guarantee safety of customers;as for those waterscapes with poor landscape effects,various means could be applied to improve its quality and show its best artistic effects;the overall planning of waterscape operation and maintenance should be enhanced to save water resources and operation cost.

东北城市居住区冬季水景设计研究——以辽宁营口市“河岸人家”小区水景设计为例(英文)

The paper has proposed the design concept of "solid waterscape". It considers that in waterscape design, it should select a design style suitable for local climate, traditional culture and folk customs; respect the nature and be close to nature; and approach the life and fit in with the reality. In terms of flowing water and solid water, it should make a reasonable and comprehensive design in terms of time, space and pattern, develop new landscape factors, and enrich winter landscape; set indoor waterscape; and enrich color design. By taking waterscape design of the residential area "Riverbank House" for example, it has stressed the solid character of water to highlight snow and ice culture and northeastern style, so as to create a natural and vivid snowy and icy landscape. Snow and ice have been the lead of winter landscape. Finally, waterscape can provide two different patterns of beauty throughout the year.
