How big is Maoming Gaozhou Reservoir?

Maoming Gaozhou Reservoir is a large-scale artificial water conservancy project, which was built in the late 1950s. It has a history of several decades, and the surrounding natural ecosystem has been re-formed. There are all kinds of aquatic animals growing here, surrounded by green plants, which are very beautiful. So how big is the area of Maoming Gaozhou Reservoir?

How big is Maoming Gaozhou Reservoir?

Brief introduction of Maoming Gaozhou reservoir

Responsible for agricultural irrigation, industrial and domestic water use in Gaozhou, Huazhou, Dianbai, Maonan, Maogang and Wuchuan.

1956, the state built an oil shale refinery in Maoming. The construction of open-pit shale mines and oil shale factories was included in the key projects of the first five-year plan. At the same time, a petrochemical city with a population of 500,000 was initially planned. In order to solve the water source problem of domestic and industrial water in this city, Gaozhou Reservoir was started.

Gaozhou Reservoir is large in scale and the project is arduous. In the absence of equipment and machinery, the completion of this project depends entirely on manpower. Although it is a shoulder hoe, it is the speed of mechanization. All the staff and cadres at the site worked hard day and night, held competitions and competitions, and made great efforts in technological innovation, making great contributions to this great project.

According to statistics, 24 communes (towns) dispatched more than 40,000 laborers, brought their own rations, and fought day and night on the reservoir site. Participate in reservoir construction.

In the process of reservoir construction, more than 100 advanced units and 18000 advanced producers (workers) have emerged on the construction site.

Gaozhou Reservoir is a vivid embodiment of the spirit of hard struggle of Gaozhou people. Under the guidance of the oath of "Never go back to your hometown without building a reservoir", the reservoir builders took the courage of "heavy rain is unavoidable, light rain keeps on, refueling on sunny days, and the north wind is the south wind". Under the condition of semi-mechanized construction, it took only one and a half years to build two high-quality reservoirs predicted by foreign experts in ten years.

For the sake of reservoir construction and national interests, reservoir immigrants gave up farmland property left by their ancestors and moved away from their hometown. The construction of Gaozhou Reservoir has flooded 43,900 mu of cultivated land, 679,900 square meters of houses, with immigrants 1.2 1.000 households and 6 1.200 people.

It is these passionate Gaozhou people who, for their own selfless dedication, gave up their lives and forgot their lives, and achieved the miracle of Gaozhou Reservoir construction.

Gaozhou Reservoir is a large-scale water conservancy project with irrigation, flood control and water supply as its main functions, combined with comprehensive utilization of power generation. Responsible for the flood control task of more than 3 million people in the middle and lower reaches of Jianjiang River and a large number of industrial and mining enterprises. It is an important water source for industrial and agricultural production and drinking water for urban residents in Maoming area, and it is also a "reservoir of life, development and hope" in Maoming and Zhanjiang.
