Hohai University (Chinese: 河海大学) is a research university in Nanjing, China under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education of China. From 1958 to 2000 it was administered by the Ministry of Water Resources.

The university's main focus is the research and study of water resources, and it primarily educates engineering subjects, with coordinated development of engineering, science, economics, management, arts and law. It is part of Project 211 (a development initiative by the Chinese government involving over 100 key universities) and has set up a graduate school.

History

Hohai Civil Engineering School was founded in 1915. Later it was merged with the Department of Engineering of Southeast University and became Hohai College of Engineering in 1924, and incorporated the Fourth Zhongshan University in 1927, becoming the Department of Water Resources, National Central University in 1928.

With the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, it then became the Department of Water Resources, Nanjing University. Then in 1952 the Departments of Water Conservancy, Hydrology, and Water Resources of Nanjing University, Jiaotong University, Tongji University, Zhejiang University and the East China Engineering School of Water Resources were merged into the East China Technical University of Water Resources. Then in 1985 it became what it is today the Hohai University under the authority of Deng Xiaoping.
