- W2044227278 abstract "he Lhasa River of Tibet (figure 1), flowing through the Lhasa City with a main stream length of about 555 km (345 mi) and a mean gradient of 0.29%, is the largest tributary of the Brah-maputra River, which is traced back to the Pangtso Lake at the southern face of the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountain. Lhasa, the long-standing capital of Tibet, plays a particular role in the life of Tibetans with regard to history and customs. The Lhasa River critically supports agricultural irri-gation, township water supply, and even the formation of certain traditions of local Tibetans. As a consequence, any regulation/conservation activities imposed on the river may also cause unexpected (or potential) threats to the fragile surrounding environ-ments. Thus, conservation practices for the Lhasa River should incorporate and recon -cile multiple objectives, such as concerns about flood prevention, safety, ecological health, aesthetics, and ethics. Flood prevention has been a chal-lenge for the Lhasa River for a long time (Wangdui 1988; Xu 2001). As early as 1562, heavy storms flooded Lhasa (Fang 1996), causing a long-standing fear of flooding threats. The new China has made flood preventions of the Lhasa River a priority. In the summer of 1962, several lasting storm events resulted in a sudden water level rise in the Lhasa River so that the city was completely under water (Xu 2001). In response, the state decided to ini -tiate an integrated control over the Lhasa River in 1964. However, the poor fiscal condition of China at that time meant that investment could not be sufficiently high. People were organized to build river dikes using nearby rocks, soil, and collective labor, often without any financial support (Fang 1996), which usually generated lim-ited flood combating effects. By contrast, more intensive regulations of the Lhasa River were triggered in recent decades. A two-step Lhasa River Dike Protection and Consolidation Project, entirely funded by the central government and with a bud-get of about US$70 million, was launched in 2002 and in 2009. The major goal was to build a 26 km (16.2 mi) high standard flood prevention dike system for the river." @default.
