Han River / 汉江

The Han River appears in 65.龙王之怒：1931年的长江洪水 as part of the water geography that makes Wuhan / 武汉 and Hankou / 汉口 a flood-prone urban site. The episode links the city’s history to the meeting of the [[YangtzeRiver|长江]] and Han River, wetland settlement, and later defensive infrastructure.

The source also uses the Han River to show how flood control can become political. Earlier military use, dike work, and maintenance failures appear as part of the region’s long Flood Control Risk Transfer problem rather than as purely technical water management.
