Significant Research Contributions
He is engaged in hydrology, water resources and water environment teaching and research work, and his main research direction is the harmonious relationship between man and water, and water resources integrated management.
In the study of human and water relations harmonious theory, he put forward the original theory system of harmonious theory, and his research results has important theoretical innovation significance and great practical application value.
In the quantitative simulation of human - water system and analysis of human - water relation mechanism under changing environment, he first proposed an embedded system dynamics simulation method, which is a new idea of simulating and understanding complex human - water relations; he also proposed a harmonious identification method for quantitative identification of the main factors and indicators, which has important theoretical significance and application value.
In the study of water resources regulation, he put forward the theoretical framework and application guidelines of water resources adaptability, and a water resources optimal allocation model, which successfully applied to the Tarim River Basin, the Yellow River Basin, the Huaihe River Basin, Zhongyuan Economic Zone, Henan Province, based on human - water harmony theory. The method has important application value.
