Abstract

Major water conservation and reclamation projects undertaken in the Jianghan Plain since the establishment of the communist regime in 1949 were analysed using sequential images, false colour composites (FCC) and computer compatible tapes (CCT). Various landforms and land use units have been mapped. A dense network of canals and dikes and water retention basins have been identified, mostly unrecorded in available published maps of the area. The diversional canals and dikes built seem to have altered mostly the pattern of flood devastation and siltation which has persisted in the area. Moreover, it has allowed the reclamation of additional lands around the low-lying lakes for cultivation.
