It would keep the polluted water trapped in the lake and this would lead to even more severe problems for the ecological environment around the river. An alternative solution would be to try and appeal to the international community and non-governmental organizations (NG0s) in order to help save the lake. If possible the lake and its surrounding ecosystem might even be approved as a World Heritage Site.

The same solution applies to the problem other lakes face, such as Dongting Lake.

Originally our plan was to charter a boat. But in the end, we saved on the boat trip which was cancelled due to unually low water levels. Our teacher said in all the years he's taken students out for field work training, he's never seen the Paoyang Lake's water level this low.
