讲座简介：

Watershed management is an evolving practice that involves the management of land, water, biota, and other resources within a defined area for environmental, social, and economic purposes. However, the focus of watershed research has been on the scientific and engineering aspects rather than the social dimension. Through innovative analysis, this presentation aims to shed some new light on where watershed management should be headed.
