Produktbeschreibung

Dams of China explores the extensive construction of dams in China, examining both the technological achievements and the resulting environmental and social impacts. It highlights significant projects like the Three Gorges Dam, detailing their engineering and operational characteristics. The book argues that while dams offer benefits such as energy production and flood control, their environmental and social costs often go underestimated. Notably, satellite imagery analysis is used to assess reservoir sedimentation and erosion showcasing the book's data-driven approach.
The book systematically progresses from the history of dam construction in China to detailed case studies of major dams. It delves into a rigorous environmental impact assessment using ecological data and hydrological studies, followed by a comprehensive analysis of social impacts, including effects on local communities and cultural heritage.
Ultimately, Dams of China proposes strategies for sustainable water resource management, balancing development with environmental protection and social equity, making it a valuable resource for policymakers, engineers, and environmental scientists.
