Features: The history of China's hydropower development is long-standing, dating back to the Dujiangyan Project. Dam construction in China has been in existence for over two thousand years. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially after the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, China's hydropower development has flourished. By the end of 2005, China had built over 85,000 dams of various types, ranking first in the world in terms of quantity, with a total installed hydropower capacity of 1,143 billion kilowatts and a total reservoir storage capacity of 565.8 billion cubic meters. These hydropower engineering projects have played a significant role in power generation, flood control, water supply, and irrigation, making important contributions to the rapid development of the national economy and the improvement of people's lives. This manual collects national laws and regulations, administrative regulations and documents from management departments, as well as industry codes and standards related to dam safety management. With this manual in hand, dam safety management personnel in hydropower stations can conveniently refer to legal and regulatory documents at any time during their work.
