Brief Introduction to Institute of Water
Ecology
The institute closely focuses on major
national needs and scientific issues at the frontier of discipline development,
regarding the research and development of water pollution control theory and
technology, and the health assurance for water ecological environment. Research
is conducted with watershed as the unit, through laboratory and field
experiments, field monitoring, and numerical simulation methods. Different
scales are covered, including the micro scale of pollutant migration and
transformation at the water-soil-organism interface, the meso scale of research
in point pollution sites and line pollution rivers, and the macro scale of
comprehensive research on water use, ecological protection, and green
development in watersheds. Relevant studies explore the evolution law of water
ecological environment in watersheds, reveal the mechanisms underpinning the
changes of river and lake water quality, and establish the theoretical and
technological system of water ecological remediation. In addition, the studies
clarify control mechanisms and processes of sustainable and harmonious
development of water, soil, ecology, and society in watersheds, propose
indicator and methodological systems for evaluation of river and lake health,
and develop tools supporting water ecological remediation and management
decision in watersheds. All these provide guidance for solving water pollution
and water ecosystem degradation in watersheds of China. Directions of research
include:
The Institute integrates a series of
characteristic research directions dominated by watershed soil and water
pollution control & restoration, river dynamics & ecological
engineering and ecological watershed hydrological simulation & management.
It has a team of pioneering and innovative teachers, with talents in the
"National Special Support Program for High-level Personnel
Recruitment" as research leaders and outstanding young and middle-aged
scholars as main research forces. Currently, there are 10 full-time teachers in
the Institute, including 5 professors, 4 associate professors and 1 lecturer.
All the full-time teachers have obtained doctoral degree and all of them have
overseas research experience.
The Institute has doctorate and master's
degree awarding programs for the disciplines of Environmental Science &
Engineering and Hydraulic Engineering (Ecological Watershed Science and
Engineering, hydraulics & river dynamics).

Brief Introduction to Institute of Water
Security
The institute closely focuses on major
national needs and scientific issues at the frontier
of discipline development, with regard to
assurance for water quality health and safe
applications. Studies are conducted to
investigate the interactions and mechanisms of
biological processes and water cycle elements,
analyze the laws of hydrological cycle,
transformation and balance in ecosystems,
and explore the climatic, hydrological, and
ecological processes and response
mechanisms. Combined with the results, further
studies are performed to construct the law
of water quality and quantity changes in
the ecosystem and the prediction and
forecasting methods, and develop water quality
and quantity dynamic monitoring and
management informatization technology, drought
and flood disaster early-warning,
forecasting, and prevention technology, and water
ecological restoration technology. These
studies are guided by the concept of green
ecology to solve the constraints of water
resources and environment, which can provide
theoretical and technical support for the
security, healthy restoration, and protection of
waters in the extreme and benign states in
order to stabilize the good characteristics of
water ecosystems and achieve the management
objective of sustainable use of water
resources. The Institute has now 1 distinguished
professor in "The Recruitment Program of Global Experts", 3
professors, 3 associate professors, 3 lecturers and 1 postdoctoral fellow.
Since its establishment in 2017, the Institute has undertaken projects of over
RMB 80 million in research directions of ecological hydrology, watershed
pollution control & ecological restoration, water ecological security and
others. It has published three papers on Nature and its sub-journals, two
papers of PNAS, 12 papers whose IFs are higher than 6.0, and 20 papers of TOP
journals.
