Abstract

Taking Anyang City, Henan Province, China, as an example, this paper mainly discusses the ecological role of artificial wetlands in water-scarce cities, elaborates the important ecological functions of artificial wetlands in urban ecosystems, and demonstrates the practical experience of artificial wetland renovation and sponge city construction through specific cases, such as the wetland redevelopment project of Magnuson Park in the United States.
