Features: This textbook consists of fifteen chapters, covering the main content such as basic knowledge of the Earth, rocks, geological structures, natural geological processes, an introduction to groundwater, the basic laws of groundwater movement, groundwater resource assessment, groundwater resource analysis and its development and management, engineering geological research on dams, slopes, canals, tunnels, reservoirs, environmental geological issues, and engineering geological and hydrogeological surveys. The textbook emphasizes the integration of new cutting-edge research findings, such as the transformation of metamorphic rocks, new seismic intensity scales, and new concepts in crustal stability research. Additionally, it introduces case studies on the treatment of natural geological hazards, with typical engineering examples analyzed at the end of each chapter. Examples include the engineering geological research on the construction of the dual-line five-step ship lock of the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River and the analysis of the Xiaolangdi Water Conservancy Project on the Yellow River. The textbook covers a broad range of knowledge, is rich in content, easy to understand, and well-illustrated. It can serve as a textbook for various disciplines in hydropower, such as agricultural water management, hydropower, water resources, hydraulic engineering, river engineering, and civil engineering. It is also a valuable reference for engineering technicians working in hydropower and water conservancy fields.
