Now its main function is In China there are more than 2,700 lakes, with supplying drinking water for the surrounding a total area of 91,000 km2, and one third of them cites such as Shanghai, Suzhou and Wuxi. It is are shallow lakes. In recent years, many shallow also very important in tourism, culture fisheries lakes in China have displayed rapid eutrophica- and navigation. However, with economic devel- tion and suffered from algal blooms.
