The oldest one is the Nanjing Water Conservancy Research Institute, founded in 1935.
Full name: Ministry of Water Resources, Ministry of Transport, National Energy Administration, Nanjing Water Conservancy Research Institute.
The Nanjing Institute of Hydraulic Sciences was founded in 1935, formerly known as the Central Hydraulic Experimental Institute. It is the earliest water conservancy scientific research institution in my country. In 2001, it was designated as a national-level social welfare non-profit scientific research institution. It is mainly engaged in basic theory, applied basic research and high-tech development. It undertakes directional, critical and comprehensive scientific research tasks in water conservancy, transportation and energy. It also serves as the Dam Safety Management Center of the Ministry of Water Resources and the Climate Change Research Center of the Ministry of Water Resources. , Capital Construction Project Quality Inspection Center of the Ministry of Water Resources, and Nanjing Metrology Verification Center of the Ministry of Water Resources.
After more than 70 years of development and the joint efforts of several generations, facing the forefront of international water conservancy science development and focusing on the needs of national economic and social development, the Southern Academy of Sciences has developed into more than 30 institutions with certain scientific and technological achievements. It is a comprehensive water conservancy research institute with important characteristics and advantages in professional research directions at home and abroad. There are currently 8 research institutes and water conservancy information technology research centers including hydrology and water resources, hydraulic engineering and hydraulics, river and coastal engineering, geotechnical engineering, material structure, dam safety and management, rural electrification, water conservancy and hydrology automation, and a water conservancy information technology research center. Research and development institutions such as the Survey and Design Institute of the Academy of Sciences, Jiangsu Nanshui Civil Engineering Company, Nanjing Ruidi High-tech Company, Jiangsu Kexing Engineering Construction Supervision Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Yunda Industry and Trade Company, etc. It has established the National Key Laboratory of Hydrology, Water Resources and Hydraulic Engineering Science, the Key Laboratory of Water Science and Water Engineering of the Ministry of Water Resources, the Key Laboratory of Transportation Industry of Port and Channel Sediment Engineering, the Key Laboratory of Transportation Industry of Navigation Building Construction Technology, and the Key Laboratory of Hydrology of the Ministry of Water Resources. Science and technology innovation platforms include the Water Resources Engineering Technology Research Center, the Ministry of Water Resources New Hydraulic Materials Engineering Technology Research Center, and the Ministry of Water Resources Hydrology and Water Resources Monitoring Engineering Technology Research Center.
The Southern Academy of Sciences covers an area of ??more than 600 acres. It has built the Nanjing Tiexinqiao Water Scientific Water Engineering Experimental Research Base and the Anhui Chuzhou Basin Hydrological Ecological Environment Experimental Base. It has more than 40 test halls and a laboratory area of 120,000 m2, more than 6,000 pieces of various instruments and equipment, and 320,000 volumes of Chinese and foreign books, materials and periodicals. Undertakes and regularly publishes "Journal of Water Conservancy and Water Transport Engineering", "Ocean Engineering", "China Ocean Engineering" (English version, distributed at home and abroad, EI full-text search), "Journal of Geotechnical Engineering" (EI full-text search), "Water Science" Progress" (EI full-text search), "Small Hydropower", "SHP News", "Water Conservancy Informatization" and other 8 journals. The Chinese National Committee of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, the Chinese Ocean Engineering Society, the Geotechnical Engineering Professional Committee of the Chinese Hydraulic Society, the High Dam Navigation Professional Committee of the Chinese Hydropower Engineering Society, and the Small Hydropower Professional Committee of the Chinese Hydropower Engineering Society are located in the Southern Academy of Sciences. .
The Southern Academy of Sciences adheres to the scientific research quality policy of "science, standardization, integrity, and excellence" and carries forward the scientific research spirit of "diligence, rigor, pragmatism, and innovation". It organizes and carries out research on major scientific and technological issues and has achieved a number of achievements. A large number of important research results have trained a large number of talents for the construction and management of water conservancy, transportation, and energy in our country, solved a series of major key technical problems in national engineering construction, and made important contributions to the country's economic and social development. From the National Science and Technology Conference in 1978 to 2009, more than 7,100 scientific research results reports were submitted, more than 5,400 papers were published at home and abroad, 314 monographs were published, and 53 national invention and utility model patents were obtained, and national, provincial and ministerial level scientific and technological progress awards. 447 items, including 76 national awards. Passed ISO9001 quality system certification in 2000. Currently, it has Class A qualifications for water conservancy engineering, hydropower, port and river engineering, hydrogeology, and geotechnical engineering consulting; Class A qualifications for hydrology and water resources survey and evaluation; planning environmental assessment qualifications; water transportation industry, engineering survey, water conservancy industry, construction industry, etc. Survey and design qualifications; Class A supervision qualifications for water conservancy projects, water transportation projects, and highway projects; and professional contracting qualifications for foundation and foundation projects, and anti-corrosion and insulation projects.
The Southern Academy of Sciences has established good cooperative relations with universities and scientific research institutes in more than 80 countries and regions and has direct import and export rights; the Chinese government and the United Nations Development Program jointly established the Southern Academy of Sciences The Asia-Pacific Small Hydropower Research and Training Center was established.
The Southern Academy of Sciences is one of the first batch of institutions in the country to confer doctoral and master's degrees in related disciplines. It currently has a doctoral program in the first-level discipline of hydraulic engineering, a doctoral program in geotechnical engineering, and a master's degree in 9 disciplines such as environmental engineering. point, and has a postdoctoral mobile station in hydraulic engineering.
