Status
|
The main project has been completed. An extension on dam break has commenced in August 2011.

Objectives
The project is to develop environmental monitoring and modelling using Remote Sensing for Chinese nature reserves as well as to develop dam-failure flooding simulation and forecasting systems for China.
It has synergies with another proposal that was recently funded under the ACEDP, the joint application by Australia’s Southern Cross University and the Qinghai Forestry Bureau an ‘Establishing a Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) methodology for Forestry Ecological Program in Qinghai to Support National Level Policy Decision Making Using Multiple Criteria Analysis Tools’ project.
Key Activities / Components
1. Water resource modelling and monitoring in the Three Gorges area
2. Environment monitoring in Sanjiangyuan Nature Reserve by remote sensing, GIS, and GPS
3. Mixed sensor systems for estimating 'Land Use and Land Use Change in Forestry' ( LULUCF) China
4. The development of a China Dam-break flooding simulation and forecasting system
Contribution to ACEDP Program Outcomes
The project will contribute to the ACEDP two policy outcomes. Specifically, it will provide a scientific base for the national decision makers in environment protection and disaster management and has the potential to strengthen linkages and policy dialogue among Australian and Chinese research institutions.
Highlights
The project completion workshop was held in Beijing on 15 February 2012 in the office of State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping to summarize the project outcomes and discuss the future cooperation between Chinese and Australian partners. Representatives from Ministry of Commerce, AusAID Beijing, CSIRO, NDRC and ACEDP PCO attended the workshop.
