Counting the reservoirs in Gansu Province 10, one is more beautiful than the other. How many have you been to?

Gansu, referred to as "Gan" or "Long", is located in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. Its terrain is long and narrow, and its economy is underdeveloped. Relatively speaking, there is drought and water shortage, and the land is vast and sparsely populated. However, there are also some reservoirs in Gansu with beautiful scenery. Let's take a look at the 10 reservoirs in Gansu Province, each with beautiful scenery. How many have you been to? (For reference only)

Liujiaxia Reservoir is the seventh cascade hydropower station in the development planning of the upper Yellow River. It starts from Liujiaxia Dam in the east and reaches the mouth of Bingling Temple in the west, showing southwest-northeast trend, connecting dongxiang county and Linxia County in the south and Yongjing County in the north. The coastline is 55 kilometers long, the widest point of the water surface is 6 kilometers, the water area is 130 square kilometers, and the total storage capacity is about 5.7 billion cubic meters.

This water conservancy project was built earlier, and it was a large-scale hydropower project designed, built and built by China people during the First Five-Year Plan period. Completed in 1974, very remarkable.

Bikou Reservoir is located in Longnan. Relatively speaking, it is not as famous as Liujiaxia Reservoir.

The reservoir was completed on 1976. The water comes from Bailong River. The height of the dam is 10 1 m, the length is 297 meters, and the total storage capacity is 520 million cubic meters. Moreover, mountains and rivers depend on each other, which is quite beautiful in Jiangnan.

Bajiazui Reservoir has a long history. Built in 1959 and completed in 1962. At that time, it was called "We must do a good job in the Yellow River". Qingyang people carried forward the spirit of hard struggle. After the unremitting efforts of the older generation, this world-renowned water conservancy project was finally built. It is a water conservancy project integrating flood control and dam protection, water supply, irrigation and power generation.

Many people may not be familiar with salt pan man. In fact, this is the eighth cascade hydropower station in the planning of Longyangxia-Qingtongxia reach of the Yellow River. Built in 1958, it is located in Yongjing County, Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province, 70 kilometers away from Lanzhou, the provincial capital. Due to the construction of Yanguoxia Hydropower Station, a large reservoir has been formed, with a maximum dam height of 55 meters and a total storage capacity of 57.2 meters. The corresponding storage capacity is 2160,000 cubic meters.

Shuangtabao Reservoir, also known as Shuita Reservoir, Shuangta Lake and Baidao Lake, is located in the middle reaches of Shule River, 48 kilometers east of Anxi County. It belongs to the first large-scale reservoir with comprehensive utilization of irrigation and flood control built in Gansu after the founding of New China. It started on 1958. The water source comes from Shule River and Hulu River, which originated in Qilian Mountain. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the reservoir flooded Yumen Pass.

Changma Reservoir is located in the middle reaches of Shule River. Let me talk about Shule River here. Shule River is the second largest river system in Hexi Corridor of Gansu Province. It was called Duanshui in ancient times, with a total length of 540 kilometers and a drainage area of 20 1.97 square kilometers. It originates between Tuolai Nanshan and Shule Nanshan in the west of Qilian Mountain, flows through the alpine grassland in Subei County in the northwest, passes through Daxue Mountain to Tuolai Nanshan Canyon, and passes through Changma Basin.

Changma Reservoir is a water control project with agricultural irrigation as the main part in Shule River's comprehensive development project of agricultural irrigation and resettlement. 1997 started construction, with a total storage capacity of193.4 million cubic meters.

Yuanyangchi Reservoir, also known as Yuanyang Lake, is located in Jinta County, Jiuquan City, Gansu Province. Built in June 1943, it was the first large earth dam water storage project built in China during the Republic of China.

After the founding of New China, the reservoir has been reinforced and expanded many times. The dam is as high as 37.8 meters with a total storage capacity of 65.438+0.05 billion cubic meters, which has developed into a local tourist attraction.

Jinchuanxia Reservoir is located in Jinchuan River Canyon, north of Yongchang County, jinchang City, Gansu Province 12km. It is the source of local domestic water and agricultural water, and it is also a good place with beautiful scenery and tourism, with a storage capacity of 65 million cubic meters.

Danghe Reservoir is located in Dunhuang, built around 1970, with a total storage capacity of 46.4 million cubic meters.

Speaking of Danghe River, it is a first-class tributary of Shule River and the mother river of Dunhuang people.

Honghe Reservoir is a medium-sized reservoir, located in Lixian County, Longnan, also known as Honghe Lake, Honghe Reservoir, Henghe Reservoir and Qinhuang Lake. It has great tourism development value, with a total storage capacity of 2 1.375 million cubic meters.

Gansu is rich in culture and unique in natural landscape. The above 10 reservoir is like green pearls dotted on the land of Gansu. I wonder how many places have you been?
