The author provides an in-depth analysis of the local infrastructure and its impact on both surface water and the cave's subterranean ecosystem. The study reveals that the high volume of visitors and the presence of maintenance and residential facilities pose significant threats to the cave's pristine environment. The author proposes several engineering solutions and management policies that aim to mitigate these threats and protect the delicate balance of the cave's ecosystem. These include altering drainage patterns, implementing treatment systems, and instituting accident prevention measures. By integrating these measures, the book offers a comprehensive approach to preserving this natural wonder for future generations.
