Lushan's hot springs district has been struck by numerous natural disasters in recent years, including flooding of riverside structures on July 2, 2004, typhoon damage to several parts of the revetment in 2007, and three typhoons since 2008. The old approach to dealing with the challenges posed by frequent natural disasters-engineering works-has clearly proved ineffective.
回顧過去廬山溫泉區災害歷史，從 2004 年 72 水災臨河建物淹水、2007 年連續風災造成塔羅灣溪水泥護岸多處缺損，以至 2008 年迄今的 3 次風災，面對天災「常態化」年年發生的嚴峻挑戰，過去以工程為重的治理手段，顯然已經失靈。
