英国水文名家基斯.贝文先生建立了面向世界的“水文学史”网页，目前由他进行维护。他在邮件中告诉我，他同意我，基于该英文网页的内容制作中文版本。我告诉他，我找不到合适的地方存放这个维基项目的中文版本。而且，由于国内网络政策的因素，我对该维基“水文学史”网页也难以上传与管理。因此，本帖只是介绍该网页。这是一个纯粹学术性质、收集与介绍全球水文学史资讯的网页。

　　　　　　　History of Hydrology Wiki

There is no readily available source of information about the history of hydrology and hydrologists. This site is one of a number of initiatives (see the links below) to try and remedy that situation. All hydrologists are welcome to contribute information about the development of the subject (and its overlaps with hydraulics, water resource engineering, geomorphology, ecohydrology, sociohydrology, hydrometeorology, water quality, etc). The site is intended to provide information on hydrologists who are no longer active but who have made a valuable contribution to the history of hydrology.

　　　　　　　　　　　　Areas of coverage

The site concentrates on 5 categories of entries. New entries are welcome but if you wish to register as a user and add an entry yourself then please use one of the templates (even if not all the headings can be filled). Templates for each area can be found at Templates or as an item in each of the categories. Instructions for creating a new page can also be found with each template. Please contact k.beven@lancaster.ac.uk if you have any difficulty.

　　　　　Why do we need a History of Hydrology Wiki?

There is a book on the History of Hydrology, written by Asit K Biswas (North-Holland, 1971) but it provides a summary of developments only up to 1900. There is also some overlap with the three remarkable books on Hydraulicians of Europe and the USA from 1800 – 2000 produced by Willi Hager at ETH and the Hunter Rouse and Simon Ince book on the History of Hydraulics (Iowa Institue of Hydraulic Research, 1957; see also Enzo Levi, The Science of Water - The foundation of Modern Hydraulics, ASCE, 1995). There have also been some efforts to put some of the history of hydrology together, such as the AGU History of Geophysics Volume 3 of 1987 edited by Edward Landa and Simon Ince. But the material is dispersed and not necessarily readily available.

Where you see that information is lacking, you can contribute to the site by writing a new article or contributing to an existing article using the Wiki editing functions, once you have registered as a user and have a login for the site. Entries should be in English but we encourage contributions that reflect the development of hydrology in all countries of the world, particularly early history that did not make it into the Biswas book.

Note that the AGU Hydrology Section has, in a parallel initiative, started a "Virtual Hydrologists" site which has some overlap with the current site, and more complete bibliographies. There are also interviews with a number of famous hydrologists on their History of Hydrology page, while the International Association of Hydrogeologists also have The Hydrogeologist Time Capsule with interviews about the history of hydrogeology and the InterPore Time Capsule has interviews with the InterPore Award Winners. A new initiative has been undertaken to record some more interviews for the History of Hydrology Project. The first of these may be found at the History of Hydrology YouTube Channel.
