  • Dams on the Mekong
    Dams on the Mekong A literature review of the politics of water governance influencing the Mekong River Karl-Inge Olufsen Spring 2020 Master thesis in Human geography at the Department of Sociology and Human Geography, Faculty of Social Sciences UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Words: 28,896 08.07.2020 II Dams on the Mekong A literature review of the politics of water governance influencing the Mekong River III © Karl-Inge Olufsen 2020 Dams on the Mekong: A literature review of the politics of water governance influencing the Mekong River Karl-Inge Olufsen http://www.duo.uio.no/ IV Summary This thesis offers a literature review on the evolving human-nature relationship and effect of power struggles through political initiatives in the context of Chinese water governance domestically and on the Mekong River. The literature review covers theoretical debates on scale and socionature, combining them into one framework to understand the construction of the Chinese waterscape and how it influences international governance of the Mekong River. Purposive criterion sampling and complimentary triangulation helped me do rigorous research despite relying on secondary sources. Historical literature review and integrative literature review helped to build an analytical narrative where socionature and scale explained Chinese water governance domestically and on the Mekong River. Through combining the scale and socionature frameworks I was able to build a picture of the hybridization process creating the Chinese waterscape. Through the historical review, I showed how water has played an important part for creating political legitimacy and influencing, and being influenced, by state-led scalar projects. Because of this importance, throughout history the Chinese state has favored large state-led scalar projects for the governance of water.

  • Assessment of Japanese and Chinese Flood Control Policies
    京都大学防災研究所年報 第 53 号 B 平成 22 年 6 月 Annuals of Disas. Prev. Res. Inst., Kyoto Univ., No. 53 B, 2010 Assessment of Japanese and Chinese Flood Control Policies Pingping LUO*, Yousuke YAMASHIKI, Kaoru TAKARA, Daniel NOVER**, and Bin HE * Graduate School of Engineering ,Kyoto University, Japan ** University of California, Davis, USA Synopsis The flood is one of the world’s most dangerous natural disasters that cause immense damage and accounts for a large number of deaths and damage world-wide. Good flood control policies play an extremely important role in preventing frequent floods. It is well known that China has more than 5000 years history and flood control policies and measure have been conducted since the time of Yu the great and his father’s reign. Japan’s culture is similar to China’s but took different approaches to flood control. Under the high speed development of civil engineering technology after 1660, flood control was achieved primarily through the construction of dams, dykes and other structures. However, these structures never fully stopped floods from occurring. In this research, we present an overview of flood control policies, assess the benefit of the different policies, and contribute to a better understanding of flood control. Keywords: Flood control, Dujiangyan, History, Irrigation, Land use 1. Introduction Warring States Period of China by the Kingdom of Qin.

  • Moving the River? China's South–North Water Transfer Project
    Chapter 85 Moving the River? China’s South–North Water Transfer Project Darrin Magee 85.1 Introduction China is not a water-poor country. As of 1999, China’s per capita freshwater avail- ability was around 2,128 m3 (554,761 gallons) per year, more than double the internationally recognized threshold at which a country would be considered water- scarce (Gleick, 2006). The problem, however, is that there is no such thing as an average Chinese citizen in terms of access to water. More specifically, the geo- graphic and temporal disparity of China’s distribution of freshwater resources means that some parts of the country relish in (and at times, suffer from) an over-abundance of freshwater, whereas other parts of the country are haunted by the specters of draught and desertification, to say nothing of declining water quality. The example of China’s Yellow River (Huang He) has become common knowledge. The Yellow takes its name from the color of the glacial till (loess) soil through which it flows for much of its 5,464 km (3,395 mi) journey (National Bureau of Statistics, 2007). After first failing to reach the sea for a period during 1972, it then suffered similar dry-out periods for a portion of the year in 22 of the subsequent 28 years (Ju, 2000). The river so important for nurturing the earliest kingdoms that came to comprise China, once known as “China’s sorrow” because of its devastating floods, now has become a victim of over-abstraction, pollution, and desert encroachment, and a symbol of the fragility of the human-environment relationship on which our societies depend.

  • The Sheer Size of Irrigation Use in Northern China
    Cybergeo : European journal of Geography, N°242, 31/07/2003 The Amur River border. Once a symbol of conflict, could it turn into a water resource stake ?1 Le fleuve Amour : symbole de conflit passé, futur enjeu de ressource hydraulique ? Frédéric Lasserre Professeur adjoint, département de géographie Université Laval, Québec Chercheur régulier Institut québécois des hautes études internationales (IQHEI) Abstract : the relations between Russia and China have become much warmer since the beginning of the 1990s ; they put an end to severe tensions between the two countries. Now trade is expanding, and investment from China in the border area is stimulating growth along the Amur River. But with growth also come water withdrawals : sortages have already appeared in the basin. Prospects are all the more problematic as northern China is facing severe water shortages that could partly be solved, in the medium term, by a derivation from the Amur/Heilongjiang Basin. Would such a project be considered given the still volatile state of relations between Moscow and Beijing ? Keywords : border, water management, water scarcity, China, Russia, Amur, Heilongjiang, development. Résumé : les relations entre la Chine et la Russie se sont considérablement détendues depuis une dizaine d’années. Ce réchauffement diplomatique met un terme à la forte tension qui régnait entre les deux pays. Le commerce croît, et les investissements chinois dans la zone frontière stimulent la croissance le long du fleuve Amour. Mais avec la croissance viennent les prélèvements en eau : des cas de manque d’eau sont déjà apparus dans le bassin.
