The State Key Laboratory of Lake Science and Environment

Focusing on major scientific issues in the protection of lake water safety and the maintenance of regional ecological security, SKLLSE mainly explore the evolution of the lake environment driven by natural and human factors and the interaction of each element. We are involved in the basic and applied research on the law and driving mechanism of lake environment evolution, the development of the principles and technologies of lake water volume control, lake pollution control and ecological restoration, and the establishment of the theory and method of lake-watershed integrated management. The objectives of SKLLSE are to establish a national research platform for lake science and environment research, a state-level platform for the lake and environment experimental tests, field research and monitoring, to identify the major scientific issues on lake environment, to develop the theoretic system of modern lake science, to propose a methodology for improving lake environment and protecting water safety, and to enhance the academic growth of China on lake science.
