INVITATION


By the end of 2005, more than 25000 large dams (according to the definition of large dam by ICOLD) completed or under construction are located in China. Among them, 4859 are higher than 30m. Although a half of large dams in the world are located in China, only 23% of hydropower potential has been developed. Dams have played an important role in Chinese social and economic developments. The Chinese government is promoting clean energy production, including hydropower. In the first half of the 21st century, many large dams are being constructed, or will be planned and constructed. Advanced technologies, equipments, materials for dam construction have been achieved in the past decades and newest developments in hydropower sector are merging quickly in the course of engineers’ practice, where communication and exchanges among all the personages in field of hydropower and dam construction and management from all over the world are absolutely necessary.
