Urban lakes play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance and improving environmental conditions within cities. They also contribute to socio-economic development by providing recreational opportunities and attracting visitors. However, there are many issues that lead to adverse effects on the water quality in the lakes. Strategies to improve the water quality have to be identified. Implementation of the strategies is dependent on the support from construction professionals. Therefore, in the present study, the levels of support towards the implementation of the strategies are investigated by means of a questionnaire survey among construction professionals. Results revealed that, draining the lake to clean out accumulated waste, pumping in clean water to artificially raise the water level, and planting more shoreline vegetation, obtained the highest levels of support. They also highlighted the importance of implementing a combination of the strategies for a successful overall improvement in the water quality.
