CHECK DAM CONSTRUCTION FOR SUSTAINABLE WATERSHED MANAGEMENT AND
PLANNING Authoritative and comprehensive reference on the potential
for watershed development through the use of check dams Check Dam
Construction for Sustainable Watershed Management and Planning
summarizes current knowledge of check dams as key soil and water
conservation structures in some of the most sensitive and
vulnerable ecosystems in the world, as exemplified by the
Mediterranean area and the Chinese Loess Plateau, providing
detailed information on check dam design and watershed planning,
the use of advanced modeling techniques, challenges in dam
construction and how to overcome them. The work integrates decades
of research in the field of soil and water conservation and gully
management, including advanced studies in check dam construction
and watershed management. It also covers important new techniques
and methods, such as hydrological modeling, isotope tracing, and
more. To aid in reader comprehension, the five highly qualified
editors have divided the work into three distinct sections.
Sections I and II focus on the experience gained from the erosion
hotspots in the Chinese Loess Plateau, whereas Section III expands
the scope to other regions with different functions for check dams,
including headwater ecosystems and alpine environments. Sample
topics covered in Check Dam Construction for Sustainable Watershed
Management and Planning include: The regulating effect of check dam
systems on sediment redistribution and the formation and
development of dam systems in small watersheds Water and soil
conservation made possible by check dam construction and sediment
source analysis of water-sediment retarding effects of check dams
The regulation of check dam systems on the erosion dynamic process
and the mechanism of erosion reduction by check dams Flood control
risk assessment on warping dam systems and the development and
utilization model of check dam systems With its systematic coverage
of all aspects of dam construction and maintenance, Check Dam
Construction for Sustainable Watershed Management and Planning
supports decision making by local authorities and can also be used
as a professional guide for ecologists, hydrologists, and water
resource managers.
