By means of constructing shallow tanks on the rooftop, five year's experiments of cultivation of Azolla filiculoides were carried out since 1990 in the rural areas, northern China Azolla filiculoides had a relative high ecological and economical benefits. This technology can be used in Hebei province, south part of northeastern China and in the areas with rooftops.
