The background, process, result, engineering construction and significance in the history of each war were introduced as possible as detail. The book also introduces ten types of offensive battles by using water as weapon as following: inundating farmland, flooding city by diverting water, deliberate breaking dike or damming river to obstruct enemy, cut off water supply, poisoning in water, attacking enemy when crossing a river, flooding enemy crossing river by breaking dammed river water, attacking enemy by seizing opportunity of flooding, flooding enemy’s camp and breaking water to flash enemy.
