Achievements of the program of geological investigation on geo-hazards and hydrogeology and environmental geology

The program of geo-hazards and hydrogeology and environmental geology investigation, which is basic and public welfare, is one of the nine geology investigation programs conducted by China Geological Survey, affiliated to the Ministry of Natural Resources. According to the different survey and monitoring objects or contents, six different projects, which are the projects of active tectonic faults and regional engineering geological survey, geological hazard survey in mountainous regions, hydrogeological and geo-environmental survey in ecologically vulnerable and poverty-stricken areas, hydrogeological survey in karst region, comprehensive water quality survey in major acquirer and national groundwater monitoring，under the framework of the program have been implemented throughout the whole country. In this paper, the major progresses and achievements since the implementation of the program in 2016 are presented, which include solving the problems of basic geology and resources and environment, serving the needs of the country, innovating the scientific theory, promoting the advancement of technology and methods.
