Cover Story: Urbanization has profoundly altered river net ecosystems, particularly in regions like Changzhou City, China. This study evaluated hydrological connectivity interventions for improving water quality and restoring ecological balance by exploring a variety of strategies, such as water diversion, river dredging, and sluice connectivity. A key aspect of the study is its focus on regional variability, recognizing that different areas within the urban landscape may require tailored solutions to address local environmental conditions. The study employs a multi-objective evaluation framework, integrating both environmental and economic factors, to offer policymakers evidence-based recommendations for optimizing interventions. This approach ensures that strategies are not only effective but also sustainable and cost-efficient, benefiting both the ecosystem and urban communities in the long term. View this paper
