[Subject: Earth Science, Environmental Education, History of Engineering]

Step aboard a time-traveling adventure with the Waterdrop Family! In this vibrant 56-page volume, children will journey across thousands of years of human history to discover the profound relationship between civilization and water. From ancient flood myths to modern sustainable engineering, young readers will explore how humans have learned to live with floods-- sometimes fearing their force, sometimes harnessing their power, and always evolving alongside nature.

Compiled by the China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research (IWHR) and the International Conferences on Flood Management (ICFM), this book bridges the gap between high-level science and early-childhood education.

Key features include:

- Stunning Illustrations: Full-color artwork that brings historical and scientific concepts to life.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

The International Conferences on Flood Management (ICFM) is the world's leading multidisciplinary forum for flood-related disaster reduction. Held triennially across Asia, Europe, and the Americas, ICFM facilitates global dialogue between scientists, policymakers, and practitioners to address challenges like climate change and community resilience. This volume is a direct result of ICFM's mission to foster a "flood-literate" global society, empowering children and families with the knowledge to navigate a changing environment. The China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research (IWHR) is a premier global authority in water science under China's Ministry of Water Resources. Established in 1933, IWHR serves as a cornerstone for national hydraulic research, specializing in flood management, water ecology, and sustainable development. With a distinguished team of over 1,200 experts and academicians, the institute provides technical support for major global water conservancy projects.
