Review from Book News Inc.: The two-volume set from the August 2012 conference collects Chinese research on hydrology, water resources, irrigation, flood and drought management, dam construction, hydropower, and hydraulic machinery. Three papers from Shanghai Ocean University analyze the influence of saltwater intrusion on the Qingcaosha River estuary, sediment deposition in the navigation channel of the Changjiang estuary, and the settling velocity of sediment particle clouds. Other topics of the 240 papers include the impact of irrigation diverting water from the Yellow River on the regional water cycle, FEM simulation of temperature and thermal stress in the Xiaowan arch dam, dynamic mesh analysis of propeller characteristics, and a sludge pump with a recessed centrifugal impeller.
