1.International Workshop on Development and Management of Flood Plains and Wetlands (IWFW-2000)
The International Workshop on
Development and Management of Flood Plains and Wetlands (IWFW-2000) was successfully held
in Beijing from 5th through 8th September 2000. It is a
contribution to IHP-V, organized by IRTCES.
The reclamation and development of
flood plains and wetlands bring about enormous economical benefits, however, along with
the undue development in every country in the world, large amount of wetlands and flood
plains disappears; now all the people in these countries knows gradually the importance of
the ecological environment functions of flood plains and wetlands and consequently
strengthens the management and protection of them. Hence, to exchange information
and experience becomes imperative.
The workshop was highly paid
attention and energetically supported by the Department of Science and Technology,
Ministry of Water Resources, and the Bureau of Project Items of Ministry of Forestry.
The Unesco Office in China sponsored partial expense of publication of the proceedings of
the workshop.
The central theme of the IWFW-2000 is
Development and Management of Flood Plains and Wetlands: Strategies, Technology and
Practice. Over 40 papers have been received under this theme. Of these, 22
papers are printed in the Proceedings. The emphasis of the IWFW 2000 is placed on
protection and management of flood plains and wetlands. A deep understanding of
hydrology and ecology of flood plains and wetlands is the basis of integrated management.
So the papers have been grouped under two topics, namely Hydrology and ecology of flood
plains and wetlands” and Protection and management of flood plains and wetlands.
They include much interesting experience from various countries, covering a wide range of
subjects.
During the workshop, the participants
exchanged their ideas and advancements in this field through presentations and active
discussions. They visited the laboratory of the Tsinghua University, where a
sediment model with mobile-bed was carried out for the Three Gorges Project and also the
hydraulic researches laboratories. They also visited the laboratory for sewerage
treatment in the Environmental Engineering College. During the visit to the Miyun
Reservoir in suburb of Beijing, the participants expressed great interest in the enormous
benefits of the reservoir and the relevant measures for protection of environment and
water quality.
The officers from the
Representative Office of Unesco in China and FAO highly appreciated the success of the
workshop and appraised the contribution of IRTCES in organizing this international
workshop.
2.Eight International IAHR Symposium on Stochastic Hydraulics (ISSH2000)
The 8th International
Symposium on Stochastic Hydraulics (8th ISSH or ISSH2000) was successfully held in Beijing
from 25th to 28th of July 2000. It was organized by IRTCES and
Tsinghua University, and supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC)
and UNESCO. More than 110 scientists, hydraulic engineers, practitioners and educators
from 29 countries through the world participated in the symposium, among them are many
famous and active professors and scientists in the field of hydraulics, hydrology and
sedimentation, like Erich J. Plate (Germany), Wolfgang Rodi (Germany), Graf W.H.
(Switzerland), John S. Gulliver (USA), Gao Ge (China), Han Qiwei (China), V.P. Singh
(USA), J. K. Vrijling (The Netherlands), Helmut Scheuerlein (Austria), Joseph H.W. Lee
(Hong Kong, China), Y. K. Tung (Hong Kong, China), Kuo Jan J. (Taiwan, China), Kojiri T.
(Japan), Klaus Jorde (German) etc. The 8th International Symposium on Stochastic
Hydraulics is
The 8-th ISSH continues a tradition, which was initiated in 1972 with the first
conference in Pittsburgh, USA. The basic idea was to concentrate on stochastic aspects of
sediment transport and turbulence. Such methods were used in the fundamental work of
G.I.Taylor for describing dispersion in continuous media and by H.A.Einstein in analyzing
sediment transport. ISSH has become a regular and respected event in the technical
conference calendar for engineers and scientists working in all areas of hydraulics for
about 3 decades.
This symposium focus on
the following topics: Stochastic Method in Open Channel Hydraulic, Turbulence, Sediment
Transport, Water Resources Management, Risk Analysis of Hydraulic Structures, Stochastic
Hydrology & Environment, Flood Estimation and Control, Global Climate Modeling, Wave
and Coastal Processes, Drainage System, Probabilistic Control of Reservoir Management,
Stochastic Models. The proceedings (900 pages) was published by the Balkema Publishers in
the Netherlands and is available commercially. This academic event promoted the
information exchange and cooperation between different countries. Some results reported in
the conference are regarded as breakthroughs of the science, like the new approach of
Navier –Stokes Equation presented by Prof. GAO Ge, etc. Some participants have a
pleasant trip of ancient Silk Road after the technique workshop. All the participants
highly appreciated the success of the symposium and appraised the contribution of IRTCES
in organizing this international symposium.
3. Refresher Course
Co-Sponsored by IRTCES and IHE
Integrated River Basin and Floodplain Management
Jan.10-22, 2000 Beijing, China
1). Overview
The refresher course on integrated river basin and
floodplain management was held in Beijing from Jan. 10 to Jan.22. The serious floods
experienced by many Asian countries every year were the focus of the first Refresher
course for the alumni of the Institute of Infrastructural, Hydraulic and Environmental
Engineering (IHE Delft) in the new century. The two-week course was jointly organised by
IHE Delft and the International Research and Training Centre on Erosion and Sedimentation
(IRTCES), Beijing, in close cooperation with Tsinghua University and Grontmij Consulting
Engineers. 20 of IHE alumni from Bangladesh, China, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan,
Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and 23 Chinese professionals from 15 water sectors
attended the refresher course. Five staff members from IHE Delft and two professors from
IRTCES gave lectures during the course.
2).Topics in the refresher course
The first week of the course aimed at familiarising the
participants with the latest tools and techniques used for floodplain management, such as
computer-aided flood forecasting and decision support systems, which assist managers to
predict and handle floods more effectively. The second week focused on managerial and
institutional aspects of river basin management, including: participation of and
cooperation between stakeholders in planning and decision making in river catchments;
institutional arrangements for basin management, such as basin commissions; and the role
of government and the private sector. A number of exercises and role plays were used to
highlight alternative measures to handle floods ? but also water scarcity in river basins
- as well as to stress the importance of cooperation between responsible institutions and
stakeholders in river basin decision making. The integration between technical and
institutional aspects of river basin management was considered a very useful and in some
ways "eye-opening" experience by the participants.
3). Country presentations and new ideas:
Representatives from different countries made presentations on
floodplain management and flood control. Many new ideas were generated from discussions
and arguments during the class. For example, measures to control flooding and to alleviate
the effects of high water were traditionally restricted mainly to hydraulic engineering
works such as the construction of dykes, dams, weirs, diversion channels, retention
basins, etc. The current integrated approach to flood control and management puts the
emphasis on the entire river basin, including land use planning (agriculture, forestation,
and urbanisation), control of erosion, flood detention, flood forecasting and warning
systems, and expert decision support systems for flood management etc. An important
requirement in the management of river basins is an effective and efficient institutional
arrangement for planning, management and decision making, in which an important role
should be played by the different stakeholders in a basin, such as farmers, irrigation
departments, provincial and national authorities, drinking water supply utilities, those
responsible for wastewater and drainage, etc. Moreover, river basin management requires an
interdisciplinary approach that includes hydraulic engineers, water managers,
hydrologists, irrigation engineers, etc.
4). Field trip and social activities:
The participants paid a visit to the Miyun Reservoir, the main
water supply sources of Beijing City. The chief engineer of the Reservoir Administrative
Bureau introduced the management and function of the reservoir for water supply and flood
control. The participators and IHE professors also visited the sediment laboratory and
hydraulic laboratory of Tsinghua University. An officer from the Ministry of Water
Resources delivered a speech about the water planning in China. Some social activities
were arranged by the organiser, such as city tour, visiting the Great Wall and so on.
5).Assessment to the fresher course
The refresher course is highly assessed by all the participants,
the IHE professors, Mr. Schellekens, the vice ambassador of Netherlands Embassy to China,
Dr. Hebel, the science officer of UNESCO Beijing Office, and Prof. Dong Zheren, the
director of Department of International Co-operation, Science and Technology, the Ministry
of Water Resources. IHE staffs regard the refresher courses the best one ever held outside
of the IHE Delft. This fresher course is also a good beginning of the co-operation between
the IRTCES and IHE.

(Http:\\www.qtr.com.cn)
In order to further strengthen the IRTCES research and training
capability in the field of estuarine and coastal research the Hangzhou Base for Estuarine
and Coastal Research was commissioned on May 28, 1999 by the joint effort of IRTCES and
Zhejiang Provincial Institute of Estuarine and Coastal Engineering Research.
The Zhejiang Provincial Institute of Estuarine and Coastal Engineering
Research (ZECER) is an institution with good record in the research of estuaries and
coastal areas. Its key study on the estuarine processes and regulation of the Qiantang
Estuary, a famous strong tide estuary with tidal bores, has led to fruitful results in the
field work of reclaimation of more than 70 thousand ha tidal flats in the estuary.
The collaboration between IRTCES and ZECER will be of mutual benefit to
the future research and training activities of both the institutions, thus beneficial to
the whole circle of sedimentation engineering. Meanwhile, the Hangzhou Base will provide
facilities for both field and laboratory work for the experts all over the world.
On May 28, 1999 the inauguration ceremony of the Hangzhou Base for
Estuarine and Coastal Research was held in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. More than
100 participants attended the ceremony, among them were Mr. Yang Zhenhuai, member of the
Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China and former Minister of Water
Resources, Mr. Zhang Mengjin, Vice Governor of Zhejiang Province, Mr. Axel Hebel, Science
Officer, UNESCO Beijing Office, Mr. Tan Ying, Secretary-General, IRTCES, Mr. Zuo Qihua,
Vice President, Nanjing Hydraulic Research Institute, and Mr. He Songlin, Deputy Director,
East China Normal University Institute of Estuarine and Coastal Research.
During the ceremony congratulatory letters from Dr. Lin Bingnan,

ZECER and its work and mentioning his intention to collaborate with IRTCES to make the
Hangzhou Base fruitful. Mr. Tan Ying expressed his satisfaction of the establishment of
the Hangzhou Base and IRTCES's desire to strengthen the future cooperation between the two
institutions.
5.The First
Sino – U.S. Joint Workshop on Sediment Transport and Sediment Induced Disasters Abstract
The First Sino – U.S. Joint Workshop on Sediment was organized with strong support from both the United States and China, with the intention to strengthen information exchange and cooperation on research on emerging hydro-environmental problems. In a three-day meeting in Beijing, China following by a five-day field study in the Loess Plateau along the middle reach of the Yellow River, the participants discussed and exchanged their knowledge and experience in sediment related topics and identified opportunities for future research and cooperation.
Financial support came partially from the National Science Foundation (NSF) of the United States and the Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC). The NSFC has established a national key research project, Study on Mechanisms of River Sedimentation, Disasters, and Control Strategies in China, and is interested in establishing a bilateral cooperation program with the United States on sediment transport and sediment-induced disasters. A joint workshop was considered to be an effective approach for scientists and engineers from both countries to exchange knowledge and experience, to explore research and educational needs, and to initiate future collaborations.
Overall Summaries
The three-day workshop meeting in Beijing on March 15 – 17, 1999 consisted of 9 sessions and presentations of 39 papers. A five-day site visit along the Middle Reach of the Yellow River in the Loess Plateau was also conducted on March 18 – 22 as part of this collaboration. Twelve U.S. and approximately 50 Chinese scientists/engineers/managers participated in the workshop, and thirty-seven workshop members, including all U.S. participants, participated in the field study trip. The U.S. team from diverse disciplines had mixed degrees of experience and included five sediment hydrologists, five sediment hydraulicians, one sediment ecologist, and one geomophologist.
The workshop format was specifically designed to allow more time for discussion than for presentation. More than half of the time in each session was allotted for open discussion led by the Chinese and U.S. co-chairs of each session. Co-chairs of each session were also requested to summarize discussions for each session. The session summaries and session co-chairs are listed below. Through the extensive in-depth discussions among workshop participants, Chinese excellence was confirmed in reservoir operation in conjunction with sediment sluicing, in developing transport mechanics for hyper-concentrated flows, in extensive laboratory model testing skills, and in applying laboratory experiments to large-scale prototype problems in various environments. Through historical development, Chinese scientists and engineers have accumulated broad prospects on the effectiveness and weakness of man-made measures in countering sediment-related disasters. On the other hand, U.S. scientists and engineers are leading in laboratory instrumentation and in numerical model development including building process-oriented models or systems applications. The U.S. also pays more attention to environmental issues.
The field study was in the eastern part of the Loess Plateau through which the middle reach of the Yellow River flows. The Yellow River is known for sediment-related issues, and this region is the major sediment source for the Yellow River and the origin of Chinese civilization.
By traveling on mountainous roads on two buses the field team had an excellent opportunity to observe erosion patterns in the well-known Loess Plateau. It is hard to conceive that these vast, bare lands were covered by forests some two thousand years ago. Human disturbances have significantly contributed to the current poverty-stricken consequences. Field trip participants observed astonishing land erosion forms, ultimate headcut, bank erosion and sedimentation, terraced fields, self-sustained agriculture, and local use of sediment.
The field team also visited the Hukou waterfalls, Sanmenxia Reservoir, and Xiaolongdi Dam. The Hukou waterfalls are located at a significant constriction of the Yellow River. Because of its geological formation, the waterfalls have withstood erosive forces of the river flow and formed a control section that has prevented the propagation of bed erosion downstream. At Sanmenxia Reservoir, the field team learned from reservoir director Mr. Lu that about 2/3 of the reservoir was lost due to siltation within the first year after initial ponding. A significant number of studies have been done at the dam, and information acquired has been adopted or applied to other reservoirs in China. Recently, the dam has been successfully modified for sediment sluicing. With its sluicing structures and designated operational modes, the Sanmenxia Reservoir can essentially maintain a balance between the annual incoming and outgoing sediment loads. Impacts of sediment-laden flows on turbine and powerhouse structures were discussed. The Xiaolangdi Reservoir is currently under construction. It is the most downstream dam and will control 93 percent of the drainage area of the Yellow River. Besides flood prevention, its sediment sluicing design has considered desirable morphological changes in the Lower Yellow River. The team was fortunate to have the opportunity to observe the entire site, visit a demonstration model, and discuss with site engineers the future joint operation model of the Sanmenxia and Xiaolangdi Reservoirs.
In addition to their practical field experience, Chinese scientists and engineers have collected a large amount of data for potential studies of the mechanisms of sediment movement. From the workshop, it was apparent that in sediment studies, the United States emphasizes issues and impacts, while China emphasizes problems and solutions. There is potential for future cooperation between both countries.
This First Workshop was organized by Dr. ZhaoYin Wang of the International Research and Training Center for Erosion and Sedimentation, China; Dr. David T. Soong of the Illinois State Water Survey; and Professor Ben C. Yen of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. At the concluding session, all participants considered the efforts were worthwhile and strongly recommended the formation of an organizing committee to prepare a second workshop to be held in the U.S. in 2000. Professor Panos Diplas of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute is the chair of that committee. Readers can obtain a copy of the proceedings by writing to Dr. Wang, Zhaoyin, ITRECS, P.O.Box 366, Beijing 100044, China.

1.
Flow in Alluvial Channels
2.
Environmental Issues
3.
River Protection and Development
4.
Sediment Control Measures
5.
Sediment Measurements
6.
Modeling of Sediment Transport
207
researchers and engineers from ten countries namely, Austria, Belgium, China,
Egypt, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Netherlands, Sudan and UK attended the symposium.
150 research papers were submitted to the scientific committee. However, only 50
papers were orally presented because of the mishap of Sept. 11th. Two
keynote speeches were presented, the first was" Nile River Protection and
Development- An Over View" by Dr. M. El. Moattassem, and the second
"UNESCO Role in Sustainable Water Resources Management in the Arab
World" by Dr. R. Al-Weshah.
There were also 15 poster papers presentation. 6 bibliographies were
produced on the 6 symposium topics.
The
Symposium provided an opportunity to exchange ideas and knowledge in the field
of river sedimentation, especially to share Egyptian experience in studying and
taming of the Nile River.
It also promoted mutual understanding and friendship among participants
from different countries. From the presentations and discussions the following
is emerged:
l
Protection, conservation,
and restoration of rivers are of utmost importance for the well being of
mankind. It is a necessary step for environmental and socio-economic
development.
l Damming of rivers imposes drastic changes in the sedimentation processes of the river. These should be accounted for in the planning and design process of the dam. Negative effects of river training works and riverbank protection should be highly considered and, if possible, minimized. This applies to sediment control measures as well.
l
River management shouldn't be
restricted to its channel only, but must include the whole river environment:
catchment area, flood plains, adjacent high lands, deltaic area, etc. Integrated
watershed management to control soil erosion and reduce sediment yield should be
studied and implemented more extensively.
l
The importance of using physical
and mathematical models in studying river sedimentation is once more emphasized.
However, field data should be used for the calibration and verification of these
models.
l
It is recommended that an
international and regional river network aiming at sharing of information,
experiences and knowledge on river engineering and sediment related issues be
developed. A website to connect the participating countries is to be
established.

Yichang City
Yichand city is located in the west of Hubei Province, at the east entrance to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. It has been proved by archeologists that there existed human traces at least 100,000 years ago. More than 7,000 years ago, the ancestors of Yicahng lived, labored and multiplied here, and created brilliant culture. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Chu State built up its capital here. From then on, Yichang has long been the capitals of different countries or prefectures for over 2,000 years. Yichang is a tourist city with a variety of attractions rich in historical sites and cultural relics. Recently as rapid economic development Yichang city has also become a modern city with convenient transportation and communication facilities. The flight between Beijing and Yichang is available every day. The Gezhouba Hydropower plant with total installed capacity of 2710 MW is just located near the urban area. A mid-symposium excursion will be arranged for the participants.
Three Gorges Project
The Three Gorges Project (TGP) is located 40 km above the Yichang City. It is a vitally important and backbone project in the development and harnessing of the Yangtze River (Changjiang River). TGP serves as a multi-purpose hydro-development project producing comprehensive benefits mainly in flood control, power generation and navigation improvement. This multi-purpose project attracts worldwide attention with its largest hydropower station in the world with an installed capacity of 18,200 MW. The project construction started in 1993.
