The history of our hospital can be traced back to 1933. Its predecessor was the earliest water conservancy scientific research institution in China-China No.1 Water Conservancy Laboratory. After several changes, on 1958, with the approval of the the State Council Planning Commission, a number of units merged to form the Water Conservancy and Hydropower Research Institute. 1994 was renamed as China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research with the approval of the State Science and Technology Commission.
After more than 50 years of development, our institute has built a national comprehensive scientific research and technology development center for water conservancy and hydropower with complete disciplines and obvious talent advantages. By the end of 20 1 1, there were141person in the hospital, including 1 159 in the hospital headquarters, 137 in the pastoral water conservancy research institute. At present, there are 13 non-profit scientific research institutes, 5 scientific and technological enterprises, 1 comprehensive business departments and 1 logistics enterprises, with 4 national research centers and 6 ministerial research centers. The main research fields cover hydrology and water resources, water environment and ecology, flood control and drought relief, soil and water conservation and river and lake management, water conservancy in rural and pastoral areas, water conservancy history, hydraulics, geotechnical engineering, hydraulic structure and materials, engineering earthquake resistance, electromechanical, automation, engineering monitoring and testing, wind energy and other renewable energy, information technology and many other disciplines. It has Grade A qualification certificate of engineering consultation (water conservancy and hydropower), Grade A qualification certificate of hydrology and water resources investigation and evaluation, Grade A qualification certificate of environmental impact assessment of construction projects, Grade A qualification certificate of water resources demonstration of construction projects, Grade A qualification certificate of water and soil conservation monitoring, Grade A qualification certificate of water and soil conservation scheme preparation, Grade A qualification certificate of water conservancy project quality inspection (geotechnical engineering, concrete engineering and measurement), Grade A qualification certificate of water conservancy project construction supervision, The first-class qualification certificate of engineering survey, the first-class qualification certificate of cultural relics protection engineering survey and design, the first-class qualification of foreign contracted projects (engineering construction and non-engineering construction), the qualification of engineering design, equipment manufacturing supervision and computer information system integration have passed the national metrology certification and ISO900 1 quality management system certification. , and has been selected as the Beijing Municipal Government's consulting and evaluation institution for fixed assets investment projects, the water storage safety appraisal unit for water conservancy and hydropower construction projects of the Ministry of Water Resources, and the safety evaluation unit for large and medium-sized sluice.
Our institute has 1 international center as a joint research center for water-saving irrigation between China and the United States. The four national centers are Beijing Water-saving Irrigation Engineering Technology Research Center, National Agricultural Irrigation and Drainage Equipment Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, National Hydropower Sustainable Development Research Center and National Energy and Water Efficient Utilization and Dam Safety Technology Research and Development Center. The six ministerial centers are the Engineering Technology Center for Flood Control, Drought Relief and Disaster Reduction of the Ministry of Water Resources, the Engineering Technology Research Center for Water Resources and Water Ecology of the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ecological Engineering Technology Research Center for Soil and Water Conservation of the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ecological Research Center for Grassland Soil and Water Conservation of the Ministry of Water Resources, the Water Environment Monitoring and Evaluation Research Center of the Ministry of Water Resources, and the Remote Sensing Technology Application Center of the Ministry of Water Resources. State-level key laboratory of basin water cycle simulation and regulation 1 each, Ministry of Water Resources key laboratory of water engineering construction and safety and key laboratory of water and sediment science and river management 2, and college-level professional laboratory 18. It is equipped with a large number of important instruments and equipment with the largest scale and performance at home and abroad, such as large-scale high-speed water flow decompression box, large-scale three-way six-degree-of-freedom simulated earthquake shaking table, centrifugal simulation testing machine, universal test bed for hydraulic machinery model, and water quality chromatography-mass spectrometer, as well as a large number of self-developed water conservancy and hydropower computer software and large-scale high-performance parallel computing platform, which have created excellent basic conditions for scientific research.
Over the years, our institute has undertaken a large number of national key scientific and technological research projects and provincial and ministerial key scientific research projects, undertaken research tasks on almost all key technical issues of major water conservancy and hydropower projects in China, and carried out a series of scientific research work such as engineering technical consultation, evaluation and technical services at home and abroad. The amount of various scientific research contracts in hospitals has increased steadily year by year, and a large number of original and breakthrough scientific research achievements have been achieved. 20 1 1 passed the appraisal results of 3 18, won the second prize of national scientific and technological progress 1, and won 22 provincial and ministerial scientific and technological progress awards; Published 38 monographs, 778 academic papers and 728 scientific research reports; Received 45 patent authorization announcements.
