Chinese Water Systems

This open-access book addresses latest Sino-German results of the joint research efforts within Major Water Program of the Chinese Government supported by German research funding. The Major Water Program aims at the restoration of polluted water environments and sustainable management of water resources in China. The joint BMBF-CLIENT project SINOWATER deals with three most significant and strongest polluted Chinese waters, the river Liao and the Dian-lake as well as Tai-lake in the area of the metropolises Shenyang, Kunming and Suzhou, respectively. The project was conducted by the Research I...

Max Dohmann is Professor emeritus of the University RWTH Aachen and member of the Board of Research Instiute of Water and Waste Management at RWTH Aachen University. His research interests concern general environmental aspects and especially urban drainage, wastewater treatment, water quality management, waste and waste management. After studying civil engineering at the RWTH Aachen University and several years of engineering work in a water management association, he received his doctorate from the University of Hanover in 1974. He then continued his responsible practical work at the water management association and became a professor at the University of Essen in 1983. From 1987 to 2004 he worked as professor and director of the largest German institute for urban water management at the RWTH Aachen University. For several years he was a member of the German Federal Government's Council of Experts on Environmental Issues and a long-standing member of the Governing Board of the International Water Association (IWA). For many years he is a visiting professor at Tsinghua University in Beijing and at Sichuan University in Chengdu. In 2015, the German Ministry of Research appointed him as German spokesperson for the first three German collaborative research projects in the Chinese Major Water Programme.

He is author of various books and articles primarily focussing on the application of concepts for sustainable (water) resource management. He also has co-edited the books "Sustainable Risk Management" and "Global Stability through Decentralization?" in the Springer series "Strategies fur Sustainability". Yonghui Song is Professor and the Vice-President of the Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences (CRAES), which is affiliated to the Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP) of China. He obtained his Ph.D. Degree in Environmental Science from the Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1999 and his Dr.-Ing. in Environmental Engineering from the University of Karlsruhe (TH), Germany in 2003. His research focuses on water pollution control technologies, regional- and basin-level water environmen management. He has undertaken over 20 national or ministerial/provincial scientific research projects as the principal investigator, published over 300 journal papers and obtained more than 20 patents. He received the "Outstanding Research Team Award" of the "11th Five-Year Plan" of the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) of China in 2012 and the "Award of MEP for Science and Technology" in 2016.
