environmental problems of liujiaxia reservoir

due to a large amount of sediment deposited in liujiaxia reservoir every year, the actual effective storage capacity of the whole reservoir has been reduced from 5.7 billion cubic meters when the dam was built to 4.2 billion cubic meters, and the storage capacity has been lost to 1.5 billion cubic meters, which seriously threatens the normal operation and service life of the hydropower station.

due to the scarcity of vegetation along the Liujiaxia reservoir area, landslides and collapses often occur on the bank slopes of the reservoir, resulting in extremely serious soil erosion. Yongjing, Dongxiang, Linxia, Jishi and Linxia counties along the reservoir area invest a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources every year to carry out comprehensive management of the ecological environment in the reservoir area, but the ecological situation in Liujiaxia reservoir area is still grim.
