The Wujiangdu Reservoir dam site is located in Wujiang Town, Zunyi City. Its hydropower station is the first large-scale hydropower station on the main stream of Wujiang River. It was first built in 1970 and completed in 1982. Completed by the end of the year, this is a multi-functional large-scale reservoir with a controlled drainage area of ​​27,790 square kilometers and a total storage capacity of 2.3 billion cubic meters.

The main characteristic of this project is that it is located in a karst area. Its complex geological conditions determine the difficulty of construction. This is a large-scale hydropower station built in a typical karst development area in my country. It is also a The largest hydropower station in Guizhou currently not only meets the electricity needs in Guizhou Province, but also transmits excess electricity to Sichuan and supplements the power shortage in Chongqing, playing an important role and value.

Hongfeng Reservoir is located in Qingzhen City and Pingba County, Guizhou Province. It is also called Hongfeng Lake. It is an artificial lake formed by damming the Maotiao River, a tributary of the upper reaches of Wujiang River. It is now a national key scenic spot.

The total water area of ​​Hongfeng Reservoir is 57.2 square kilometers, with a total storage capacity of 600 million cubic meters. It is a plateau artificial lake with rich tourism resources. Therefore, Hongfeng Hydropower Station is mainly for power generation, as well as flood control, It is a large-scale water conservancy and hydropower hub for comprehensive utilization of irrigation, water supply, tourism, breeding, etc.

Baihua Reservoir, also known as Baihua Lake, is the sister lake of Hongfeng Lake.

Baihua Reservoir is located in the middle of Guizhou Province, between Guiyang City and Qingzhen City, in the middle reaches of the Maotiao River. It was constructed in the 1960s and was completed in 1960 and 1966. It controls the basin area. 1,832 square kilometers, with a total storage capacity of 191 million cubic meters. Data also shows that the total storage capacity is 210 million cubic meters.

Now the Baihua Lake Scenic Area has been developed here. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is breathtakingly beautiful. The lake is dotted with islands, which is of great tourism value. It is one of the first batch of important provincial wetland attractions in Guizhou Province.

Suofengying Reservoir is located in the Liuguang River section of the middle reaches of Wujiang River at the junction of Qianxi County and Xiuwen County in central Guizhou Province. It is connected to Dongfeng Hydropower Station 35.5 kilometers upstream and Wujiangdu Reservoir 74.9 kilometers downstream.

This reservoir was planned to be built in 2001 and construction started in 2002. The controlled watershed area above the dam site is 21,862 square kilometers, with a total storage capacity of 201.2 million cubic meters.

The Suoshai Reservoir is a high-gorge flat lake formed by the construction of the Puding Hydropower Station. It is located in Puding County, Anshun City, Guizhou Province. Now there is the Yelang Lake Scenic Area, which mainly consists of the original Yelang Lake and the Flame Mountain. It consists of a plant protection zone, a national key cultural relic protection unit, the Chuandong Ancient Human Site, the Ancient Lotus Cave and other scenic spots. Among them, the Yelang Lake area is 42 kilometers long and has a water storage capacity of 420 million cubic meters.

Speaking of Yelang Lake, Yelang Kingdom naturally comes to mind. Yelang Kingdom was a small country in the southwest during the Han Dynasty. In history, there is an idiom "Yelang is arrogant", which is also famous for a long time. In fact, Yelang The country still has a certain degree of strength and is remarkable in all aspects.

Yangtou Hydropower Station is located in Yangtou Town, Tongren City, Guizhou Province. It was built in 1985 and was put into operation to generate electricity in 1991. The basin area above the dam site is 3,780 square kilometers. It is the sixth-level power station on the Jinjiang River with a total storage capacity of 114.6 million cubic meters.

The Sanbanxi Hydropower Station is located in Jinping County. It is the largest investment and largest construction project in the history of Qiandongnan Prefecture, but this reservoir mainly supplies the Hunan power grid.

The controlled watershed area above the dam site is 11,051 square kilometers, with a total storage capacity of 4.094 billion cubic meters. Now there is the Sanbanxi Lake Scenic Area, with beautiful scenery and spectacular engineering, making it a local tourist attraction.

This is a key project of the West-to-East Power Transmission. It is the Nanpanjiang leading power station. Not only does it have a large storage capacity, but the dam is the second highest face rockfill dam in the world and the tallest in Asia. It can be called the national level hydropower station.

The so-called Wanfeng Lake is an artificial lake formed after the Tianshengqiao Gaoba Hydropower Station was completed and impounded. The lake consists of thousands of peaks forming thousands of islands or peninsulas. Its scenery is absolutely unique and its water storage capacity is It is as high as 10.2 billion cubic meters and has a water surface of about 816 square kilometers. It winds around the three provinces of Guizhou, Guangxi and Yunnan, which is equivalent to 76 Hangzhou West Lakes.

Guizhou has beautiful mountains and rivers. Each of the above eight major reservoirs has its own merits. In fact, there are many large and medium-sized reservoirs in Guizhou, like green pearls, embedded among the high mountains and ridges of Guizhou. How many have you been to?
