As a country with a large population, the distribution of water resources in China is very uneven, and the per capita water resources possession is lower than the world average. With the development of society and the acceleration of industrialization, people's waste and pollution of water resources have made China's water resources increasingly tense. This article aims to solve the current situation of scarcity of water resources in Chinese cities, and discusses the challenges and countermeasures of urban water resources planning and management. This article first introduces the planning and management of urban water resources in detail, so that readers can understand the necessity of urban water resources management, and finally proposes to use the construction of artificial wetlands to allocate water resources, and the effect is obvious(water allocation for Scenario 1 increased by 24.5%).
