Abstract:
Interconnected River System Network (IRSN) is an important approach for regulating the matching relationship between water and land resources, enhancing river service function, enhancing water resources allocation capacity, improving ecosystem environment, and reducing flood risks. IRSN has rarely been investigated in the literature, thus there is an urgent need to summarize the practical experiences. In this paper, based on the historical evolution process of IRSN, the IRSN practices in China and abroad were analyzed from the perspectives of military and transportation, irrigation and water supply, river management, water resources allocation, and restoration of eco-hydrological environment. The development trend of IRSN was identified, which can provide good reference for the future studies on IRSN.
