The Silent Victims: A Flooding Risk Analysis of Unmovable Cultural Relics in Shan-Xi, China
Subject
flooding risk
Description
Shan-Xi is a plateau province in North China known for its rich historical legacies. As one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization, Shan-Xi's history of human activities can be traced all the way back to the Paleolithic age. However, this abundance of historical sites also poses challenges for the preservation: many unmovable relics sites are in remote rural areas, lacking appropriate protections and prompt restorations. This problem has become particularly concerning with the increasing occurrences of extreme weather events such as flooding and storms.
