[Evaluation on a demonstration project of ecological restoration of ditches at Qianwei Village of Chongming County, Shanghai].

By using biological slope-protection techniques, oxidation pond system, and zeolite treatment system, a demonstration project of ecological restoration of ditches at the Qianwei Village of Chongming County in Shanghai was implemented, and an evaluation on the project was made via a runoff simulation experiment and the measurements of the parameters soil shear strength, biodiversity, and ditch water quality. The results showed that covering the dich slopes with shrub could significantly increase soil shear strength, compactness and moisture content, and the formed vegetation had significant effects on retarding runoff and removing TSS (P < 0.05).
