Abstract: Rural landscape is not only a natural landscape, but also a cultural landscape. The improvement of rural environment in Lushi County is carried out under the background of “Building Beautiful Villages”. Through the plan of environmental improvement, the appearance of villages in rural areas will be significantly improved, and the gap between urban and rural areas will be shortened. This research addresses the problems of scarce water resources, imperfect rainwater collection facilities, and increased environmental pollution in rural areas, and explores a flexible, effective, and integrated landscape ecological water treatment system that integrates with natural ecosystems. The practice has shown that the flexible combination of different technical measures according to local conditions and the construction of ecological water self-circulation and self-purification systems can reduce maintenance costs and achieve sustainable landscape. The virtuous cycle of the revetment’s micro-ecology greatly improves the environmental carrying capacity of the landscape. Reasonable water management system is more flexible in dealing with unexpected problems. The thesis proposes landscape design strategies for water circulation and water purification in rural areas, and applies them to actual design cases. It attempts to introduce a combined treatment system to achieve a more diverse landscape concept and further explore the healthy and sustainable development of rural water environment.

Project Analysis the planning area and the residential house is small, only 1 m, and the design should pay attention to the 2.1 Regional Location plant enclosure. The site is undeveloped land, and The project is located in Zhangjia Village, plants grow naturally. The west side is connected with City, Henan Province, China. Sanmenxia is a a seasonal river bed (Buyu River), and the east side is prefecture-level city and located in the westernmost mountainous, with sufficient sunlight. On the east side part of Henan Province (Fig. 1). The terrain is mainly of the 7-meter-wide road, there is a large flow of composed of middle mountains, low mountains, hills people and vehicles, and the main entrance, image and valley basins. Assuming that the downtown of Lushi node and parking lot should be considered on the side County has a 0 relative elevation, and the river valley near the main road.

2.2 Design Goals Second, build a demonstration sewage treatment park for peers to visit and recreation space for local In response to the new rural construction and rural residents [22]. The landscape design implements the revitalization policies, the Lushi County concept of ecological water purification, and the Environmental Protection Bureau initiated treated sewage is used as the landscape water source. comprehensive environmental remediation of the The self-circulation and self-purification are achieved Lushi County sewage treatment, and planed a 30-ton through comprehensive treatment methods. Landscape sewage treatment station with a land area of 8 acres architects, architectural designers, and environmental (approximately 5,333 square meters), including an protection engineers work together to implement the 800 square meter sun room. Environmental protection concept of ecological sustainability throughout[23], enterprises provide early-stage pipe network design allowing visitors to appreciate the beauty of the and sewage treatment technologies, and landscape display park and understand the process of architects are responsible for the design of landscape purification technology operations. In the future, it plans in the exhibition area [14, 15]. will become a leisure viewing space for the nearby First, achieve comprehensive treatment of rural villagers and play a demonstration role for other domestic sewage [16-18]. The pipe network is similar projects [24-28]. designed to collect domestic sewage which was discharged at random before, and the design uses the 3. Technical Support newly built 30-ton domestic sewage treatment station As a demonstration project, the partner of the for purification treatment. The quality of the treated environmental protection company has provided water is better than the Class A standard of important support in the preliminary sewage treatment GB18918-2002 “Emission Standard for Pollutants in technology, giving the site landscape design more Urban Sewage Treatment Plants”. It can be directly possibilities. Environmental protection engineers used for irrigation of crops. For example, it can analyze the collected domestic sewage according to provide irrigation water for the local economic crops, the characteristics of wastewater quality and effluent mushrooms, to help poor households generate income. water quality standards, and finally choose biological The effluent can also be used for landscaping spraying, treatment technology. Near the site, there is an or toilet flushing. Even if there is a surplus, it can also important water source protection place, so the water be directly discharged into the river [19-21]. quality control standards on the surface are high. The
