Ecological effect caused by hydraulic engineering construction

Abstract

This paper summarized the main ecological impact of hydraulic engineering to the hydrology and the sediment of the river, built up the index system assessing the ecological effect of the hydraulic engineering, and structured the integrative assessment model. This model was applied using the case project to verify the feasibility of integrative assessment system.

Keywords

hydraulic engineering / ecological effect / the index system / integrative assessment indexes
