Abstract: Ecological civilization construction of reservoir and dam is an important part of national ecological civilization construction system. Strengthening the research on the technical path of ecological civilization construction related to reservoir and dam engineering is a new requirement for the construction of ecological water conservancy projects. It is also a new challenge to accomplish the coordinated development between water conservancy projects and ecological environment protection. In order to understand the path and technical methods of ecological civilization construction for reservoir and dam, we collected literatures in China National Knowledge Infrastructure database, the National Natural Science Foundation of China, water policies, water regulations and technical standards concerning the ecological civilization construction. We have also fully investigated international typical cases and conducted statistical analysis of the experiences of ecological civilization construction of global reservoir and dam engineering using bibliometrics method. In this research, we proposed the concept, the overall thought and the core content of the ecological civilization of reservoir and dam engineering. Then, we identified the overall construction method, specific technical requirements and key indicators of ecological civilization in planning, designing, construction, operation and decommission periods. The research results offer specific technical and scientific support for the implementation of sustainable development goals. The research outputs also provide reference for improving the institutional system of ecological civilization construction and promoting the green development of reservoir and dam engineering.
