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.

  • Application of Envisat ASAR Image in Near Real Time Flood Monitoring
    Application of Envisat ASAR Image in Near Real Time Flood monitoring and Assessment in China Huang, Shifeng Prof., Remote Sensing Technology Application Center, China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research, Beijing, China ABSTACT: China is one of the countries in which flood occurs most frequently in the world and with the current economic growth; flood disaster causes more and more economic losses. Chinese government pays more attention to flood monitoring and assessment by space technology. Since1983, NOAA(AVHRR), Landsat-TM, LANDSAT-ETM+, JERS-1, SPOT, ERS-2, Radarsat-1, CBERS-1, Envisat have been used for flood monitoring and assessment. Due to the bad weather conditions during flood, microwave remote sensing is the major tools for flood monitoring. Envisat is one of the best satellite with powerful SAR. Its application for flood monitoring has been studied and its near real time(NRT) application can be realized on the basis of real-time delivery of image. During the 2005, 2006 and 2007 flood seasons, over the 31 NRT flood monitoring based on Envisat, had been carried out in Yangtze, Songua, Huaihe, pearl river basin. The result shows that Envisat SAR is very useful data source for flood disaster monitoring and assessment. 1. INTRODUCTION China is one of the countries in which flood occurs most frequently in the world and with the current economic growth; flood disaster causes more and more economic losses. Remote sensing ( RS ) technology has its special superiority and potentiality for disaster monitoring and assessment , so it has been applied for this purpose for a long time in the whole world, especially for the disaster resulting from floods and waterlogging.

  • Impact of Changes in Land Use and Climate on the Runoff in Dawen River Basin Based on SWAT Model - 2849
    Zhao et al.: Impact of changes in land use and climate on the runoff in Dawen River Basin based on SWAT model - 2849 - IMPACT OF CHANGES IN LAND USE AND CLIMATE ON THE RUNOFF BASED ON SWAT MODEL IN DAWEN RIVER BASIN, CHINA ZHAO, Q.* – GAO, Q. – ZOU, C. H. – YAO, T. – LI, X. M. School of Water Conservancy and Environment, University of Jinan 336 Nanxinzhuang West Road, Jinan 250022, Shandong Province, China (phone: +86-135-8910-8827) *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected]; phone: +86-135-8910-8827 (Received 8th Oct 2018; accepted 25th Jan 2019) Abstract. A distributed hydrological model (SWAT), which is widely used both domestically and internationally, was selected to quantitatively analyze the impact of land use and climate change on runoff in this paper in Dawen River Basin, China. The calibration and validation results obtained at Daicunba and Laiwu hydrological stations yield R2 values of 0.83 and 0.80 and 0.73 and 0.69 and the Ens values of 0.79 and 0.76 and 0.71 and 0.72, respectively. Taking 1980-1990 as the reference period, the annual runoff increased by 288 million m3, which was caused by changes in the land use of basin from 1991 to 2004, whereas the annual runoff decreased by 132 million m3 due to climate change. Land use changed from 2005 to 2015, which resulted in an increase in annual runoff of 13 million m3, and annual changes in climate caused a decrease in annual runoff of 61 million m3. An extreme land use scenario simulation analysis shows that, compared to the current land use simulation in 2000, the runoff of cultivated land scenarios and forest land scenarios was reduced by 38.3% and 19.8%, respectively, and the runoff of grassland scenarios increased by 4.3%.

  • The Extent and Composition of Disaster Relief After China's 1823 Flood: New Archival Evidence
    The extent and composition of disaster relief after China's 1823 flood: New archival evidence Ni Yuping History Department, Tsinghua University Martin Uebele Faculty of Arts, University of Groningen Abstract: In 1823, large parts of China were drowned in one of the heaviest floods of the whole Qing dynasty (1644-1911), but detailed data on its impact and government responses have so far been scattered. Due to a recent reorganization of China’s First Historical Archives, however, this paper is able to provide new evidence about the flood’s impact as well as the extent and composition of central government disaster relief. This matters especially because many scholars believe that because of this flood, China entered into the “Daoguang Depression” providing the background for China’s “lost century” in connection with interior and exterior security issues such as the First Opium War (1839-42), and the Taiping rebellion (1850-64). Our evidence thus may help to understand if these combined challenges exceeded state capacity when modernization would have required internal reform more than ever. We find that in the 17 provinces for which we have data at least 20 percent of all counties were flooded, half of them seriously. The combination of tax relief, water works and direct payments grew proportionally with the share of counties affected by the flood and totaled to about 26 million taels of silver, more than half of annual fiscal revenue of the Qing state. Key words: Daoguang Depression, disaster relief, China, 19th century, state capacity 1. Introduction No matter if from the perspective of meteorological, disaster or economic history, the year of 1823 (the third year of the Daoguang emperor’s rule) was an all-important node.

  • The Need for Integrated Management for the Endangered Miyun Resevoir
    Quenching Beijing’s Thirst: The Need for Integrated Management for the Endangered Miyun Resevoir By Christoph Peisert and Eva Sternfeld Miyun reservoir, a large reservoir northeast of Beijing municipality, is the Chinese capital’s most important source of drinking water. For many years the Beijing municipal government has made great efforts to protect the reservoir and its catchment area. However, successful implementation has been hampered by numerous user conflicts. This paper investigates the origin and various types of conflicts, which include inter-provincial, city-county disputes, as well as conflicts between county government and local residents living in the water protection zone. The magnitude of these conflicts and continued deteriorating quality of the reservoir underline the need for integrated watershed management approaches as stipulated in the 2002 revised Water Law, and the adoption of a water economy that includes the costs for water protection and compensation for those required to carry out watershed protection activities. he large Miyun reservoir, built during the Great Natural Determinants of the Beijing Water Crisis Leap Forward period (1958-1960) in the Beijing municipality is located in the dry northeast Tnortheast of Beijing municipality, is a critical edge of the North China Plain bordering the Mongolian source of drinking water for the 14 million people living Plateau in central Hebei province. Since the last in this booming metropolis. Considering the huge administrative reforms in 1958, the Chinese capital population reliant on the catchment for drinking water, and its rural hinterland were expanded to cover a total Miyun reservoir is one of the most important water area of 16,800 square kilometers (km2) with about protection areas in the world.

  • Attribution of Runoff Variation in the Headwaters of the Yangtze River
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Attribution of Runoff Variation in the Headwaters of the Yangtze River Based on the Budyko Hypothesis Junlong Liu , Jin Chen *, Jijun Xu, Yuru Lin, Zhe Yuan and Mingyuan Zhou Changjiang Scientific Research Institute of Changjiang Water Resources Commission, Wuhan 430010, China * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 30 May 2019; Accepted: 11 July 2019; Published: 13 July 2019 Abstract: Quantifying the contributions of climate change and human activities on runoff changes is of great importance for water resource management, sustainable water resource utilization, and sustainable development of society. In this study, hydrological and climatic data from hydrological and meteorological stations in the headwaters of the Yangtze River (YRHA) from 1966 to 2013 were used to quantitatively attribute the runoff change to the impacts of climate change and human activities separately. Firstly, the change trends in precipitation, runoff depth and potential evapotranspiration were analyzed by the Mann-Kendall test method. Three methods, secondly, including ordered clustering, Mann-Kendall and cumulative anomaly curve were adopted to detect the change points of runoff at Zhimenda hydrological station and partition the whole study period into two sub-periods at the change point (base and impacted periods). Then, the elasticity coefficient method based on the Budyko hypothesis was applied to calculate elasticity coefficients of runoff to precipitation, potential evapotranspiration and land use/cover during the two periods, and to evaluate the contributions of climate change and human activities. Results indicated that during 1966–2013, runoff depth, precipitation and potential evapotranspiration all showed a significant increasing trend, 1 1 1 with increasing rates of 7.26 mm decade− , 18.725 mm decade− and 7.228 mm decade− , respectively.
