This book takes the evolution of water conservancy projects in the Ningshao region of eastern Zhejiang as the research object, uses historical geography and environmental history as research methods, and explores a relatively new trend in the current research fields of environmental history and historical geography, that is, the intrinsic relationship between landscape history, historical geography, and environmental history. The author focuses on the theme of how the geographical landscape and cultural characteristics of the Ningshao Plain were formed today. In terms of landscape formation, the landscape shaping process and internal driving factors of river network water towns, estuary deltas, river valley plains and coastal highlands were discussed respectively. In the exploration of the relationship between culture and water conservancy in the Ningshao Plain, we try to answer the cultural power (document construction) in the settlement of water conservancy disputes in the Ningshao Plain and the impact of water conservancy in the generation of local myths.
