Part One consists of guidelines for the preparation of national master water plans adopted at the expert group meeting held at Bangkok from 8 to 12 May 1989. The draft of these guidelines was prepared by the ESCAP secretariat with the assistance of an expert from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics as well as of other experts designated by China, India, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, the Republic of Korea, Sri Lanka and Thailand. Part Two comprises selected papers presented by country experts who participated in the Expert Group Meeting to Review and Finalize Draft Guidelines for the Preparation of National Master Water Plans. These papers highlight the experience and problems of those countries in the preparation of their national master water plans. The views expressed in the papers are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the United Nations. Part Three is the report of the Expert Group Meeting held at Bangkok from 8 to 12 May 1989. The report contains, inter alia, a brief account of the activities of United Na­ tions agencies and other international organizations to assist countries in water resources planning, as well as the recommendations of the Expert Group which were directed at both national and regional levels. Part Four consists of a manual for planning, design, operation and maintenance of irrigation systems prepared by the ESCAP secretariat. This manual is a supplement to the guidelines and is expected to be useful to water resources development planners who are engaged in the task of preparing a national master plan. Manuals for planning, design and management of other sectors of water resources development, namely, "Manual and guidelines for comprehensive flood loss prevention and management", "Manual and guidelines for water quality monitoring" etc., are now under preparation by the ESCAP secretariat and when completed will be published in subsequent issues of the Water Resources Series.

  • China's Past, China's Future Energy, Food, Environment
    China’s Past, China’s Future China has a population of 1.3 billion people, which puts strain on her natural resources. This volume, by one of the leading scholars on the earth’s biosphere, is the result of a lifetime of study on China, and provides the fullest account yet of the environmental challenges that China faces. The author examines China’s energy resources, their uses, impacts and prospects, from the 1970s oil crisis to the present day, before analyzing the key question of how China can best produce enough food to feed its enormous population. In answering this question the entire food chain – the environmental setting, post-harvest losses, food processing, access to food and actual nutritional requirements – is examined, as well as the most effective methods of agricultural management. The final chapters focus upon the dramatic cost to the country’s environment caused by China’s rapid industrialization. The widespread environ- mental problems discussed include: • water and air pollution • water shortage • soil erosion • deforestation • desertification • loss of biodiversity In conclusion, Smil argues that the decline of the Chinese ecosystem and environ- mental pollution has cost China about 10 per cent of her annual GDP. This book provides the best available synthesis on the environmental conse- quences of China’s economic reform program, and will prove essential reading to scholars with an interest in China and the environment. Vaclav Smil is Distinguished Professor in the Faculty of Environment, University of Manitoba, Canada. He is widely recognized as one of the world’s leading authorities on the biosphere and China’s environment.

  • Mapping Spatiotemporal Trends in the Abundance and Distribution of Macrophytes in Hongze Lake

State Key Laboratory of Freshwater Ecology and Biotechnology, Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan 430072, China; 2. University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China) Abstract: A comprehensive investigation on macrophyte community in Hongze Lake was conducted seaso- nally from May 2010 to February 2011. Overall, twelve species representing eight families of macrophytes were identified in Hongze Lake, including nine species of submerged plants, two species of floating-leaved plants, and one species of emerging plant. In general, Potamogeton malaianus, P. maackianu, P. pectinatus and P. crispus were the four dominant species throughout the whole year, the highest biomass of macro- phytes was presented in autumn, followed by summer and winter, while spring had the lowest biomass of macrophytes. Based on field data, we used kriging interpolation in ArcGis to map the spatiotemporal distribu- tion of the entire macrophyte community as well as each of the four dominant species. From the GIS maps we observed that the northern area of the lake, namely the Chengzihu region, had the highest biomass of macro- phytes potentially as a result of better water quality and greater transparency. Potential factors that affected the community structure, biomass, and distribution patterns of macrophytes considerably were then discussed.

Abstract: Water quality assurance is the primary factor for the successful operation of water diversion projects across river basins. The rapid prediction of water pollution is the basis for timely and effective emergency control and disposal measures. In China, since the open channels intersect with numerous waterways and traffic arteries, water transfer projects are prone to sudden water pollution accidents. In this paper, the rapid prediction method was developed for sudden water pollution accidents that possibly occurred in the East Route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project (ERP) in Shandong Province. With the empirical formula of the pollution transfer law, a rapid prediction model of water quality (WQRP) was established based on the simulation of the typical accidents in the main channel. Finally, four typical accidents were selected as application examples, and the prediction results were compared with the results from a computer numerical simulation to demonstrate the validity of the model.

First, the hydraulic linkages between the lakes were generalized, then the water resources allocation mode and the scale of existing projects were clarified. After that, the actual available amount of flood resources in the lakes was evaluated. The average annual available floodwater resources in 2003–2017 was 1.49 billion m3, and the maximum available capacity was 30.84 billion m3. Then, using the floodwater resource utilization method of multi period flood limited water levels, the research period was divided into the main flood season (15 July to 15 August) and the later flood season (16 August to 10 September, 11 September to 30 September) by the Systematic Clustering Analysis method.
