The geographical environment of Pingxiang

Pingxiang is a hilly area in the south of the Yangtze River, which is dominated by hilly landforms. The east, south and north are mountainous areas, and the west is low-lying. The distribution of mountains, hills and basins in the territory is complicated, and the landform is more complicated. There is Wugong Mountain in the southeast, with an altitude of 800 ~ 1900 m, and the highest peak (Baihefeng) is1918.3m.. The area from Yang Qi Scenic Area to Dapingshan in the north is relatively high and dangerous, with an altitude of about 600 ~ 900 meters ... The lowest point of Pingshui River in the west is only 64 meters above sea level. The high terrain in the central and eastern regions has become the watershed between Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake.

Pingxiang city has four types of landforms: middle and low mountains, hills, hilly valleys and plains. The hilly areas in the middle and low mountains are widely distributed, with areas of 1535.92Km2 and15910.09km2 respectively, accounting for 40./kloc-0.7% and 4/kloc-0.61%of the total area of the city.

Rich in water resources, there are five rivers: Shui Yuan, Pingshui, Caoshui and Lianjiang. The surface water runoff is 2.646 billion cubic meters per year, the exploitable water energy is 40,000 kilowatts, and the groundwater reserves are 400 million cubic meters.

The average precipitation in the city is 1238.6 mm, which is 33.8% less than the previous year.
