Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ecological restoration technology, specifically to a sponge system for ecological restoration and regulation of lakeside areas. Background Technology

[0002] The concept of the lakeside zone was first proposed by Eggletton in 1931, but at that time, there was no clear explanation of its definition, structure, and function. In the past, research on lake water environment focused on the center of the lake while neglecting the lakeside zone. It was not until the 1990s that the importance of the lakeside zone was recognized, and attention gradually turned to the ecological management of the lakeside zone.

[0003] The lacustrine zone is a type of water-terrestrial ecotone, serving as a transitional zone between lakes and land. It can be divided into the water-oriented zone, shoreline zone, and terrestrial zone. Compared to open water areas, the lacustrine zone exhibits a distinct hydrological and topographical gradient, heterogeneous habitats, abundant species, and high productivity. The functions of the lacustrine zone primarily include: buffer zone function, biodiversity and habitat protection function, bank protection function, and economic and aesthetic value. It improves the ecological condition of lakes, reduces nitrogen and phosphorus loads in the water, promotes sediment deposition, and absorbs and adsorbs various organic, inorganic, and heavy metal pollutants from the water. The lacustrine zone plays a vital role in the lake basin ecosystem and possesses high ecological, social, and economic value.

[0004] With the increasing direct interference from human activities and rapid changes in the external climate, the disappearance of lake shorelines and landform destruction, loss of natural water level systems, eutrophication, heavy metal and organic pollutants, and decline in biodiversity have directly affected the sustainable development of the lake basin's ecology, economy, and society.

[0005] Utility model patent CN210140478U discloses a lakeside zone for intercepting and purifying non-point source pollution. Along the lake area, a first terrace, a first depression, a second terrace, a second depression, a third terrace, and a third depression are sequentially arranged outwards. A diversion pipe is buried at the bottom of the third terrace. The cross-sections of the three terraces are trapezoidal, with the elevation increasing progressively. The cross-sections of the first and second depressions are inverted trapezoids, while the cross-section of the third depression is concave, with the elevation increasing progressively. The first terrace is planted with flood-tolerant emergent plants to form a vegetation buffer zone, while the second and third terraces are planted with drought-tolerant emergent plants. Floating plants are planted in the first depression, flood-tolerant emergent plants in the second depression, and turf in the third depression. By modifying the lakeside topography and constructing it into a multi-tiered terrace and depression system, the residence time of non-point source pollution in the lakeside zone can be effectively increased. This invention aims to prevent non-point source pollution from directly entering the lake and create favorable conditions for the absorption and purification by aquatic plants in the lakeside zone. By planting different ecological types of aquatic plants on different terraces and depressions, non-point source pollution is intercepted layer by layer and continuously purified by aquatic plants, effectively controlling non-point source pollution, reducing pollutants entering the lake, and preventing the lake area from evolving into a turbid algal ecosystem or experiencing rampant aquatic plant growth due to eutrophication. By utilizing the absorption function of aquatic plants in the lakeside zone to transform pollutants into organic matter, the manual harvesting and dredging work is more convenient, controllable, and efficient than controlling pollutants by using submerged plants in the lake area. In this patent, non-point source pollution can be intercepted and purified in the lakeside zone. However, with the increase in the intensity of human activities, the lakeside zone has shown a diversified functional situation, with production and living functions taking the lead. Farmland and residential housing are widely distributed, and the ecological structure and function of the lakeside zone have been greatly disturbed. Utility Model Content

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the lower structure of the bioretention facility includes an isolation layer, a gravel drainage layer, and a perforated drainage pipe arranged from top to bottom; the gravel pore size in the gravel drainage layer is larger than the opening diameter of the perforated drainage pipe.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the upper structure of the bioretention facility includes a vegetation layer and a soil replacement layer arranged from top to bottom; the vegetation layer includes plants and topsoil; the soil replacement layer includes a biological medium arranged below the topsoil and on the isolation layer.
