Abstract
Eutrophication in Taihu Lake has become a serious environmental problem. In this paper, environmental conditions in paddy fields in Taihu Lake´s catchment area were compared with those in Lake Biwa´s catchment area, which revealed issues on social development at different stages and raised questions over restoration of Taihu Lake from an environmental sociology perspective.
