In order to further the level of comprehensive treatment of Taihu Lake, combing the current situation of Taihu Lake treatment during the past 13 years, it is concluded that there are still many problems in the current Taihu Lake management such as the continuous outbreak of cyanobacteria, multiple difficulties in the governance, the imperfect regional coordination mechanism, and the improper relationship between the market and the government. Based on the background of the country’s vigorous development of Internet+, from the perspective of innovation and the comprehensive utilization of new technologies such as AI, big data and cloud computing, it is proposed that Taihu governance can break through the bottleneck of governance in three aspects, namely, intelligent monitoring, intelligent government affairs and intelligent decision-making, so as to achieve scientific governance and precision governance.
