The project will preserve 97% of the riverbanks in their natural state and make more riverside wetlands available. The rivers’ natural flow will be maintained and the riverbanks will not be destroyed or replaced by man-made structures. A variety of reduction technologies will be utilized to keep any disturbance to the natural environment during restoration to a bare minimum.
After the completion of the project, developers expect a variety of environmental and ecological benefits. Any minor disturbance to aquatic life during dredging and construction will be overwhelmingly offset by future benefits to all living organisms in the area, rendering the concerns of opponents void.
The greatest characteristic of the habitats of living things in the rivers is that they repeat the cycle of creation and extinction. Therefore, efforts to protect the living things inhabiting our rivers should focus more on the preservation of stable river systems rather than the protection of the habitats themselves. The Four Rivers Restoration Project seeks to provide stable river systems by securing sufficient water in the rivers and improve the structures of the rivers.
