To realize the flood storage potential of numerous lakes in Wuhan City is an effective measure to prevent waterlogging. In July,2016,serious waterlogging disasters occurred in Nanhu and Tangxunhu Areas,which was a direct consequence of extreme weather and natural disasters,and an indirect consequence of urban construction. Based on the actual rainfall and drainage data,we estimate the water level of Nanhu Lake and the flood storage potential of Dongsha Lake. Then suggestions are given: On the one hand,we should pay attention to the ecological protection of water system,strengthen the dredging of river courses and lakes. On the other hand,urban lakes should be considered as a huge“sponge”body,connected to realize optimal regulation.
