Hohai University, referred to as Hohai for short, is located in Nanjing and Changzhou, covering an area of 2,464 mu. The campuses are Xikang Road Campus, Jiangning Campus and Changzhou Campus. Hohai University is characterized by water conservancy, including engineering, science, law and literature, and mainly focuses on engineering. It is a national key university directly under the Ministry of Education with coordinated development of multiple disciplines.

19 15, Zhang Jian founded Hehai Institute of Technology, the first school in China history to train technical talents. Its main purpose is to train water conservancy professionals for China, so that they can bravely undertake the mission of managing water and serving the country. The school is located in Nanjing. 1924 He Hai Engineering College was renamed Why Hai Engineering University, 1927 was merged into the Civil Engineering Department of the Fourth Sun Yat-sen University.

Later, it was renamed 1949 for many times. After the founding of New China, it was changed to the Department of Water Conservancy of Nanjing University. During the period of national faculty adjustment from 65438 to 0952, the Water Conservancy Department of Nanjing University, the East China Water Conservancy Institute and the water conservancy departments of several universities established the East China Water Conservancy Institute, with Qian as the first president. 1985 was changed to Hohai University, and the old name was restored.
