The International Geological Congress, known as the Olympic Congress in the geological field, is held every four years, covering all fields of geological science. The contents of the conference include reports, seminars, geological exhibitions, geological science film and geological trips. In recent years, in addition to holding seminars according to disciplines, the International Geological Congress has also set up seminars on some interdisciplinary comprehensive issues, and achieved good results. Hydrogeological engineering geologists in China have participated in all the congresses since the 26th National Congress, and I personally participated in three of them (28, 30, 3 1). The relevant historical materials are summarized as follows:
I. 26th International Geological Congress
This congress was held in Paris, France from July 7th, 1980 to July 7th, 17. In connection with the centennial celebration of the international geological congress (the first congress was held in Paris in 1878), nearly 5,000 representatives from more than 100 countries attended. The conference is divided into 20 professional groups (by discipline) and 7 symposiums (interdisciplinary). Before and after the conference, there were 46 geo-tourism routes distributed in many European countries. The geological exhibition covers an area of 4400m2, with booths 150. Show 4 1 geological science films. In addition, dozens of international geoscience organizations hold councils or working meetings during the conference. China sent a 40-member delegation led by Huang, and representatives of hydrogeology and engineering geology included Gu Dezhen, An Keshi and others.
27th International Geological Congress
This congress was held in Moscow from August 4, 1984 to August 4, 1984. More than 5000 delegates from 100 countries attended the meeting, about half of which were from the Soviet Union.

Meeting * * * received 5768 abstracts and read more than 4000 papers; China submitted 3 15 papers to the conference, and 62 delegates made academic reports at the conference. The Congress arranged 80 geological travel routes, and representatives of China participated in the investigation of 32 routes, covering all major geological units in the Soviet Union. Environmental geological problems were highly valued at the conference, and there were hundreds of papers on this issue. There were only two plenary meetings, one devoted to environmental geology. The congress also called for a good combination of hydrogeology, engineering geology, geomorphology, structural geology, earthquake geology, soil geology and other disciplines to solve environmental problems. A 70-member delegation from China attended the meeting, headed by Zhu Xun and headed by Secretary-General Yang Ren. Among them, Sun, Wang Sijing, Ha Chengyou and Ling Zemin are representatives of hydrogeology and engineering geology.

Experts in hydrogeology and engineering geology include Chen, Wang Sijing and Li Qingning. Geological society of china selected 93 English papers before the meeting, compiled them into a collection of essays and sent them to the meeting for exchange. He also exhibited 45 important geological achievements and more than 200 kinds of books and magazines at the geological science and technology exhibition, which was well received.
On the basis of the discussion at the 29th International Geological Congress, the Japanese Geological Survey launched the "East Asia Natural Disaster Mapping Project", which was responded by East Asian countries including China. The project produced a map with the scale of 654.38+0 ∶ 5 million, and the project team also carried out activities during the 30th International Geological Congress.

The conference set up a series of "thematic seminars" and "symposiums" (major cross-cutting topics), and also set up a paper exhibition. Discussions related to the hydraulic environment include: "Thematic discussion": What? Hydrogeology; ? Engineering geology; ? Environmental geology. As far as the "seminar" is concerned: earth science and human survival, environment and natural disasters; ? Global change. Each seminar has Chinese and foreign conveners. After the meeting, VSP Publishing Company of the Netherlands and China Geological Publishing House edited and published two volumes of essays in Chinese and English. This congress showed the achievements of China's geological research to the world, and also gave more opportunities for grassroots geologists to learn about foreign countries.

Seven. The 32nd International Geological Congress
This congress was held in Florence, Italy from August 20 to 28, 2004. This is the second international geological congress held in Italy. 188 1 year, the second international geological congress was held in bologna, Italy. The theme of this conference is "Global Geological Revival from the Mediterranean: Geology, Natural Disasters and Cultural Heritage". The contents include: ① geological revival: demonstrating that geology can better serve human needs; ② Understanding the Earth: showing a new understanding of all aspects of the Earth; ③ International cooperation: promote international cooperation with the Mediterranean as the starting point (the travel route of this conference covers the north and south sides of the Mediterranean); ④ Interaction between basic geological science and applied geological science: effective evaluation of natural disasters and rational development of natural resources; ⑤ Cultural heritage protection: Solve the geological problems of cultural heritage protection and restoration. The conference held more than 300 academic reports.
The China delegation led by Sun Wensheng published three English papers before the meeting. A large geological exhibition was held at the meeting. On the 48-square-meter booth, China exhibited various geological achievements, including the introduction of eight approved world geoparks, the hydrogeological map of Asia, and the geological work achievements in China's major modern engineering construction projects (Qinghai-Tibet Railway, West-East Gas Transmission, etc.). ).
Concluding remarks
At the 33rd International Geological Congress held in Oslo in August, 2008, in order to commemorate the theme of "International Year of Earth", seven thematic reports were specially arranged, including "Geological Disasters" and "Water, Human Health and Environment". It can be seen that the international community attaches importance to hydrogeology, environmental geology and disaster geology. Water conservancy environmental geologists should keep pace with the times and make new contributions to the scientific development of economy and society.
