The first issue ISWCR includes 8 scientific papers from 23 authors who are working in soil and water conservation and related fields, foreword written by Prof. Liu Ning - the Vice Minister of the MWR ( the Ministry of Water Resources of P.R.China) & President of CSWSC (Chinese Society of Water and Soil Conservation), and message from WASWAC 3 presidents – Dr. Samran Sombatpanit (Past President), Prof. Miodrag Zlatic (Immediate Past President) and Prof. Li Rui (Present President).
