Abstract

Lake degradation with shrunken water body and reduced water connectivity is currently serious in China. It is very significant to return farmland to lakes to improve lake related ecosystems and ecological service functions, from which the national ecological security could be enhanced. This article first streamlines how the work of Returning Farmland to Lakes could be implemented in China. Practical experience with the results gained from pilot projects carried out in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are summarized. Recommendations in response to problems and lessons learned from these projects are then made to facilitate better implementation in the future.
