1.2 Significant of the Translation Project
NorthChinaUniversityofWaterResourcesandHydropoweris ahigh-techinstitutionthat started from the water and is developed because of water. It serves water governanceand water safety. As a student of this school, due to the influence of my tutor, ProfessorZhang Fusheng, I understand that the translation and research of water culture is theindispensable academic responsibility of "Huashui Scholars". It is worth paying closeattention to that there have been many new achievements in the study of water cultureabroad in recent years. The book mentioned in this article reflects the level of academicaccumulation at the forefront of international water culture theory. It is undoubtedly animportant reference for the development of China's water culture.
We believe that the introduction of foreign water culture books will further expandour international perspective on water culture, promote the prosperity and development ofChina's water culture, and make some contributions to building and improving thetheoretical system and practice system of Chinese water culture.
