The Three Gorges Dam, China
Present-day remote sensing and GIS capabilities enable more accurate precipitation measurements and terrestrial characteristic data to be built into hydrological models and systems.
Scientists, engineers and policy makers from across the globe shared their experience at an international conference at the Three Gorges dam site, China, 2004. These papers selected from the meeting provide insight to current work on:
- Flood forecasting
- Runoff simulation
- Hydrological change
- Water resources management
- Environmental modelling
- Data observation and management
Useful reading for both researchers and practitioners, bringing together innovative applications of the current technologies in areas ranging from weather radar, to phytoplankton density, to GIS and water Management Information Systems
