Where is the largest reservoir in Beijing?

Miyun Reservoir is the largest reservoir in Asia and is known as the "Pearl of Yanshan Mountain". It is located in Miyun County, northeast of Beijing, among the peaks of Yanling Mountains, crossing the Chao and Bai rivers. It was built from September 1958 to September 1960, with a total area of ??1.88 million square kilometers, a water surface of 137,000 acres, and a water depth of 40 meters. to 60 meters, divided into three reservoir areas: Baihe River, Chaohe River and Neihu Lake. The total water storage capacity is 431.7 billion cubic meters, which is equivalent to 67 Ming Tombs reservoirs or 150 Kunming Lake. The road around the lake is 110 kilometers. One lap takes more than three hours.

The reservoir is located in the lower reaches of the middle reaches of the Chao and Bai rivers. It is formed by retaining water from the Bai and Chao rivers. The reservoir area spans the two rivers. There are two main dams and five auxiliary dams. Among them, the main Baihe dam is on the Baihe River near Xiwengzhuang, with a length of 960 meters and a height of 66 meters; the main dam of the Chaohe River is on the Chaohe River near Nanjiachang, with a length of 1008 meters and a height of 56 meters. The five auxiliary dams are located in Beibaiyan, Zoumazhuang, Nanshi Luotuo, Xishi Luotuo, Jiu Songshan and other places, with a total length of 2592 meters. Except for the Zoumazhuang auxiliary dam, which is a core wall and homogeneous earth dam, the other dams are all roller-compacted clay inclined wall dams with stone lining on the dam surface. The total earthwork for the main and auxiliary dams is 18.88 million cubic meters. The reservoir is designed for a thousand-year flood, with a maximum water depth of 60 meters, a maximum water surface area of ??188 square kilometers, and a maximum storage capacity of 4.375 billion cubic meters. The controlled Chaobai River basin area is 15,788 square kilometers, accounting for 88% of the total basin area of ??the river. Other supporting projects include three spillways, four flood discharge tunnels, one regulating pool, two hydropower stations and the Jingmi Diversion Channel.

After the completion of the Miyun Reservoir, the water damage of the Chao and Bai Rivers has been fundamentally eliminated, more than 6 million acres of fertile farmland downstream of it have been protected from flooding, 4 million acres of dry land have been turned into irrigated fields, and 100 acres of new riverbank wasteland have been opened. Thousands of acres. The reservoir is responsible for supplying industrial, agricultural and domestic water to Beijing, Tianjin and parts of Hebei Province, becoming the most important water source in the capital. The two power stations have an installed capacity of 96,400 kilowatts and an annual power generation of about 115 million kilowatt hours. The annual output of freshwater fish in the reservoir is 3 million kilograms. Therefore, Miyun Reservoir has comprehensive benefits such as flood control, irrigation, water supply, power generation, breeding, and tourism. In 1964, the Miyun Reservoir Management Office was established, including Chaohe, Baihe, Garden Management Offices and a Staff Hospital. It has 670 employees and is responsible for the maintenance, management, dispatch and operation of the reservoir.
