  • Covers vegetation-erosion dynamics
  • Details the artificial step-pool system for debris flow control and stream restoration
  • Discusses stream ecology assessment and restoration strategies
  • Provides a broad understanding of the fluvial processes of hyperconcentrated rivers

"River Dynamics and Integrated River Management” provides comprehensive information on rivers for integrated management, including natural processes, stresses resulting from human activities, and restoration of various parts of the river basin, including the watershed, mountain streams, alluvial rivers, estuaries, and natural and man-made lakes. Essential concepts, traditional and modern, such as river patterns, step-pool systems, vegetation-erosion charts, habitat diversity, and flushing times of bays, are clearly defined physically and explained with figures and pictures. Detailed mathematics and rigorous analyses are avoided so as to facilitate a holistic view of the subject of integrated river management. Researchers can easily familiarize themselves with the science of river management in its widest sense with the impressive pictures and examples in this book.

Preface
In 1994, Dr. E. Plate and I initiated the Sino-German cooperation research on unsteady sediment transportation (known as GESINUS), which was supported by VW-Foundation and DFG of Germany and National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC). The bilateral cooperation achieved important results and shifted my main research interest from fluvial rivers to mountain rivers. The idea to study and write a book on integrated river management came to my mind when I found that the sedimentation problems in the lower reaches of rivers were essentially caused by riverbed incision in upstream reaches.
The writing of this book began in 1997 when Dr. G. Klaassen invited me to teach a short course in the IHE Delft with the main contents of the course focused on the Yellow River training and management and the Three Gorges Project on the Yangtze River in China. The notes from this short course have become the main contents of Chapters 6 and 7 of this book. In the same year I took part in a western China investigation organized by the Central Government, one of the themes was greening the mountains and hills and beautifying the landscape. To answer the question “if the bare hills in arid and semi-arid areas can be vegetated?” I studied the dynamic relations among vegetation development, soil erosion, and various stresses on the vegetation and established the theory and model of vegetation-erosion dynamics, which has become the main contents of Chapter 2. During the process of developing the model a discussion with Dr. J. B. Thornes was very constructive.
To study riverbed incision and control strategies my research group established field experimental stations on the Xiaojiang River in Yunnan, Mianyuan River in Sichuan, and East River in Guangdong. The results from the field investigations and field experiments at these sites have become the main contents of Chapter 3. I began to study debris flow in 1984 and visited the Dongchuan Debris Flow Observation and Research Station every year, where I witnessed debris flows. Dr. Z. Kang worked in the station for 20 years and was among my research partners. The great Wenchuan Earthquake occurred on May 12, 2008 and rekindled my research interest in landslides and debris flows. My research group studied landslides, avalanches, and debris flows in the earthquake area in the period 2008-2010, during which Dr. P. Cui supported us with valuable ideas and convenient access to data. The results from these studies enriched the contents of Chapter 4.
The main concepts of sediment transportation and fluvial processes in Chapter 5 are from Dr. Ning Chien. It was under the guidance of Dr. Ning Chien that I started my research in the field of sedimentation, especially hyperconcentrated flows. I worked with him for seven years with sincere and deeply friendly feelings. I was deeply saddened when he passed away in 1986. I here express a few words of both my grief and fond memories of my dearest professor.
I have collaborated with Dr. J.H.W. Lee on several research projects since 1999. We studied river ecology and the eutrophication and algal blooms in the Bohai Sea and Hong Kong waters. The discussion between us on various issues on the river management, especially deltaic and coastal processes, elicited valuable ideas for integrated river management. Dr. Lee contributed Chapter 8, which makes the book more complete.
Dr. Ben Yen, Dr. Tai Wai Soong, Dr. C. S. Melching, and I initiated Sino-U.S. cooperation on environmental sediment research in 1999. During my visits to the U.S. I contacted the Federal Interagency Stream Restoration Working Group and discussed stream restoration with various members of this group. The discussion was very constructive for writing Chapter 10. Since then my research team began to study aquatic ecology. In 2003, I was granted a research project from the Ministry of Science and Technology to study the ecology of Yangtze River, and in 2007 I was granted a research project from the NSFC to
River Dynamics and Integrated River Management
study benthic invertebrates. The research results from these projects have become the main contents of Chapter 10.
Dr. C. S. Melching made great contributions to this book. He has visited China and collaborated with my research group every year since 2004. We worked together on sediment transportation, aquatic ecology, and water quality and published quite a few papers. Dr. Melching gave me valuable ideas for stream ecology and contributed Chapter 9. Moreover, he polished the English of all chapters several times. It is due to his efforts the English of book is at the international standard.
In the period from 2005 to 2010 my research group conducted several experiments on the Diaoga River and the Jiangjia Ravine in Yunnan, and the Mianyuan River in Sichuan and performed field investigations and measurement in the Yalutsangbu, Yellow, East, and Songhua rivers to search for methods of integrated river management for geological hazard mitigation, erosion and sedimentation control, and ecological restoration. Both theoretical and technical results were obtained and they have become the main contents of Chapter 11.
The style of the book is such that it should readily useable as a textbook for graduate students and also as a reference book for scientists and engineers. There were several versions of the book beginning from 2003, which were printed at Tsinghua University as a textbook for graduate and Ph.D. students. The main contents of the book were also used as a textbook at the University of Hongkong, IHE Delft, Bari University, and UNESCO training courses organized by the International Research and Training Center on Erosion and Sedimentation. I have been working as the Chief Editor of the International Journal of Sediment Research since 1996 and an Associate Editor of the International Journal of River Basin Management (IAHR). The experience of journal editor helped me to access new research results, which was helpful for completion of the book. Finally, it is a pleasant duty to express thanks to all my immediate collaborators over the years, who have contributed in different ways to the creation of this book.
