JOURNAL of CRSRI (YRSRI) started publication in October of 1984, is an academic periodical in applied science, approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology and sponsored by the Yangtze River Scientific Research Institute, mainly reports the development and application in water resources and hydropower engineering of Changjiang River Valley, including research achievements of applied fundamental theories on water resources science and advance of related subjects, major investigation findings and empirical summary on large- and medium-sized hydraulic and hydropower projects (e.g. the Three Gorges Project, the South-to-North Water Transfer Project etc.), and new theories, new techniques , new equipments and new procedures in water conservancy and hydropower field and their applications.The Journal appropriately publishes the scientific research achievements of large- and medium-sized hydraulic and hydropower projects of other river basins, and the new achievements and development trend of sci-tech research abroad.
Main contents of the Journal include: healthy changjiang River, river/lake sedimentation and regulation, water resources and environment, water & soil conservation and eco-construction, flood prevention and disaster reduction, field investigation and observation, engineering safety and disaster prevention, agricultural water conservancy, hydraulics, rock-soil engineering, hydraulic structure and material, information technology application, instrumentation development and test techniques, construction and management of water conservancy projects, technical notes and so on .
The Journal persists in the guiding principle of serving economic construction in scientific research and the scientific attitude of seeking truth from facts. The aims of publication of the periodical are developing water resources science, broadening sci-tech communication, promoting the translation of study findings and serving water resources and hydropower undertakings.
Main readers of the Journal involve the technical staffs engaging in scientific research, design and construction in the water conservancy and hydropower undertakings, as well as the teachers and students of universities.
The Journal originally named "Journal of Yangtze Water Conservancy & Hydroelectric Power Institute", and renamed "Journal of Yangtze River Scientific Research Institute (J. YRSRI)" in 1987. The editorial board is composed of old-, middle-and young-aged experts who have engaged in water conservancy work for a long time.
