ℹ️ About

The Danjiangkou Dam in Danjiangkou stands 800 m downstream of the confluence of the Han and Dan rivers. It controls a catchment of about 95,200 square kilometres with an average annual runoff of about 38.8 billion cubic metres. Begun in September 1958 and 117 m high, it is a large multi-purpose hydraulic project designed, built and managed by China itself, mainly for flood control but also for power, irrigation, navigation and fish farming; Zhou Enlai called it the only project in China with "all five benefits". Its construction was formally approved at the Chengdu meeting of the central leadership in 1958, and Danjiangkou has been closely tied to the South-North Water Transfer concept ever since.
