Abstract
With the continuous progress of China's urbanization, problems such as rainwater runoff pollution, flood disaster and water resource shortage have become increasingly prominent. Sponge city is a good way to solve urban waterlogging and improve the water ecological environment. This paper first describes the water resources issues encountered by Chinese cities, and then it explains the significance of sponge city building, in order to further apply the idea of water ecological civilization construction and promote the construction of sponge city. China's creation of sponge cities is still in its early stages when compared to Western nations. In this paper, the effectiveness of the construction of Jiaozuo sponge city is examined together with the research state of sponge city construction in China. Finally, this paper discusses some problems in the process of sponge city construction and puts forward some concrete suggestions. It is expected to play a reference role in promoting the development of sponge city and improving the construction of sponge city in China.
