This volume provides a unique overview, in English, of current hydrological science in China, detailing issues, approaches, innovations and achievements. The 97 contributions, primarily from China, were selected from a major conference held in Nanjing.
Information about the hydrology of many drainage basins, especially the Yangtze and Yellow rivers, and about engineering projects, including the South-to-North water transfer, is detailed. Thus the book is also a valuable information resource.
