林皋湖濕地公園規劃(hua)總面(mian)積(ji)769.7公(gong)(gong)頃(qing)，公(gong)(gong)園(yuan)濕地面(mian)積(ji)為287.2公(gong)(gong)頃(qing)，濕地率為37.3%，公(gong)(gong)園(yuan)范圍內白水河(he)水系長約(yue)6.5千米(mi)，林皋(gao)河(he)水系長約(yue)21.5千米(mi)。分為五個功能區(qu)(qu)：生(sheng)態保育區(qu)(qu)、生(sheng)態恢復區(qu)(qu)、合(he)理利用區(qu)(qu)、科(ke)普宣教區(qu)(qu)及(ji)管理服務區(qu)(qu)。公(gong)(gong)園(yuan)所在區(qu)(qu)域生(sheng)態環境脆弱，存在水土流失嚴重，水體變濁，水質下降，濕地開墾等問題，是黃(huang)土臺塬溝(gou)壑區(qu)(qu)典型的河(he)流、庫塘型濕地生(sheng)態系統。
濕地公園內生(sheng)物資(zi)源較為豐富，現(xian)有種(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)子植物59科201種(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)；陸生(sheng)脊椎動(dong)物29目57科162種(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)，其(qi)中(zhong)國家Ⅰ級(ji)重點(dian)(dian)保(bao)(bao)護動(dong)物黑(hei)鸛1種(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)；國家Ⅱ級(ji)重點(dian)(dian)保(bao)(bao)護動(dong)物15種(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)，有白琵鷺、鴛鴦、灰鶴、紅隼等；省(sheng)重點(dian)(dian)保(bao)(bao)護動(dong)物14種(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)，有蒼鷺、白鷺、池鷺等。尤其(qi)值得(de)注意(yi)的(de)(de)是，該濕地已經成為黑(hei)鸛種(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)群的(de)(de)重要棲息(xi)地，具有重要的(de)(de)保(bao)(bao)護意(yi)義(yi)。
近年(nian)來，白水縣委(wei)、縣政(zheng)府不斷加強對林(lin)(lin)皋(gao)湖(hu)(hu)(hu)(hu)的綜合(he)治理(li)，加大濕地(di)生態修復(fu)力度，已(yi)投(tou)資1.1億(yi)元對林(lin)(lin)皋(gao)湖(hu)(hu)(hu)(hu)周圍(wei)山體坡(po)面和湖(hu)(hu)(hu)(hu)岸護坡(po)進(jin)行綠(lv)化(hua)，同時對環湖(hu)(hu)(hu)(hu)路進(jin)行硬(ying)化(hua)、綠(lv)化(hua)，公(gong)園基礎(chu)設施已(yi)初具(ju)雛形。周邊群(qun)眾對濕地(di)公(gong)園建設支持(chi)力度大，配合(he)濕地(di)公(gong)園建設的積(ji)極(ji)性(xing)和主動性(xing)非常高(gao)。林(lin)(lin)皋(gao)湖(hu)(hu)(hu)(hu)國家濕地(di)公(gong)園申報成功，將(jiang)為白水縣優(you)化(hua)生態環境、開發生態旅游、打造旅游勝地(di)起到(dao)積(ji)極(ji)的促(cu)進(jin)作用。
該濕(shi)地(di)公園(yuan)今后(hou)的(de)(de)發(fa)展(zhan)(zhan)將以生(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)態(tai)型社會(hui)公益建設項(xiang)目為(wei)導(dao)向，以保護(hu)和恢復自然(ran)生(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)態(tai)系統為(wei)目標，以發(fa)展(zhan)(zhan)濕(shi)地(di)生(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)物多樣性、維持(chi)區(qu)域生(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)態(tai)平衡為(wei)重(zhong)點，以堅持(chi)“保護(hu)優(you)先、科學修復、合理利用、持(chi)續發(fa)展(zhan)(zhan)”為(wei)基本原則，使建成后(hou)的(de)(de)林皋湖國(guo)家(jia)濕(shi)地(di)公園(yuan)成為(wei)我國(guo)西(xi)北黃土臺(tai)塬溝壑區(qu)生(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)態(tai)恢復示(shi)范基地(di)、陜西(xi)省生(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)態(tai)文(wen)明建設的(de)(de)示(shi)范點。
