The proposed "living with nature" model contrasts with traditional methods of building walls and installing pumping stations to contain floodwaters. Rather, it creates more space for floodwaters by returning some low-elevation areas to nature. The floodwaters will have a place to run off, and changes will be made to local industries to adapt them to the environment.
他們提出的「與自然共存」模式，不同於傳統以堤防、抽水站來圍堵洪水，而是以增加蓄洪空間，部份低窪地區不再從事生產，還給自然復育來疏導洪水，並因應環境做部分的產業調整。
