Lake Tai (or Taihu)
Lake Tai (or Taihu), is the 3rd largest freshwater lake in China
(southern part of Yangtze River delta).
Total area of Lake Tai approx. 2,338 km2, average depth of 2m
The lake provides water to 30
million residents.
Lake Tai has been increasingly polluted due primarily to rapid economic growth and increased population in the basin area

Water Crisis in Lake Tai
Large algal bloom outbreaks in Lake Tai since 1990.
The most significant algal bloom broke out in 2007 in
Mei Liang Bay near the Wuxi City, and led to the "
Wuxi City Water Crisis”.

2007 Water Crisis in Lake Tai
- Water quality worse than Class V of the Surface Water
Quality Standard (GB3838-2002).
- Tap water supply in Wuxi City had to be temporarily
terminated due to the crisis.
- Led to the development of the Lake Tai Master plan 2008

![Page 12: Application of Source IMS Lake Tai – China Dave Waters](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062620/5519bc4155034660578b49eb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Model Development
Pilot Area Dongshan Peninsula (82 km2)
Modelling water Quantity, Nitrogen, Phosphorus
7 landuse categories of interest
Assessing relative contribution for each landuse
Running a range of scenarios to look at management options to reduce nutrient export to Lake Tai

The Lake Tai Project
Activity Objectives:
1) Contribute to successful environmental governance
mechanisms at Municipal, Province and Basin levels.
2) Assist greater use of science-based planning,
management and interventions to support lake and river
basin management to improve lake conditions
3) Contribute to a substantial decrease in the frequency
and intensity of algae blooms as a result of specific and
modern IRBM, science and management technologies.
