Research Interests

He is mainly engaged in teaching and research on urban and rural water supply safety guarantee technology, sustainable development of urban water use, and new water treatment technologies. In recent years, he has presided over 4 scientific research projects at or above the provincial level and nearly 80 technical service projects.

He has achieved a series of research results in high-efficiency utilization of water resources, water supply safety technology, nitrogen and phosphorus non-point source pollution control technology for Poyang Lake, and rural drinking water safety technology, which have been widely applied in rural drinking water safety projects in Jiangxi Province. He has published 1 monograph and more than 60 academic papers as the first author or corresponding author in important domestic and international scientific journals.

Research Profile

With the urbanization around Poyang Lake, rainfall runoff carries a large amount of nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants into receiving water bodies and eventually converges into the Poyang Lake Basin, aggravating eutrophication. Meanwhile, due to outdated drainage pipe networks and improper/misconnected rainwater and sewage pipes in some cities, a large amount of untreated urban sewage overflows into the Poyang Lake Basin through intercepting wells. Therefore, research on water resources and water security guarantee of the Poyang Lake Basin is imperative.

1.Eutrophication in the Poyang Lake BasinSource control is adopted, and sponge city optimization measures (Low Impact Development, LID) are used to control non-point source pollution caused by nitrogen and phosphorus in the basin, so as to alleviate lake eutrophication. It promotes a sound hydrological cycle in the Poyang Lake Basin and surrounding cities from the perspective of water quality safety, to better protect and utilize the ecological service functions of Poyang Lake wetlands.

2.Urban Combined Sewer Overflow PollutionBased on field surveys of rainwater and sewage pipe networks in cities around the Poyang Lake Basin (Poyang, Yugan, Duchang, etc.), MIKE models are constructed to analyze and evaluate the flow capacity of existing pipe networks. Corresponding technical solutions for pipe network renovation are proposed to reduce pollution hazards to Poyang Lake caused by sewage overflow under extreme weather.

3.Urban-Rural Water Supply IntegrationAs a public facility construction field highly concerned by national policies, urban-rural water supply integration mainly extends urban water supply networks to towns and villages, establishing an integrated water supply network system. It basically realizes interconnected water supply and shared water resources between urban and rural areas, improves water resource utilization efficiency, and enables urban and rural residents to share high-quality water.
