What is the area of Suyahu Reservoir?
Suyahu Reservoir covers an area of 4,640 square kilometers, including 762 square kilometers for Banqiao and 580 square kilometers for Baoshan, accounting for 6 1% of the total area of Ruhe River basin, with a total storage capacity of1600 million cubic meters.
Brief introduction of Suyahu Reservoir
Lake Suya is the largest artificial reservoir in the plains of Asia, located 2 kilometers east of Luodian Town, runan county, Zhumadian City, Henan Province. It starts from topaz Temple in the north, reaches Wild Boar Hill in the south, Gui Zhuang in the east and Bieqiao in the west. The east bank dam is 35.29 kilometers long, 5.8 meters high, 4.7 meters wide at the top and 239 square kilometers in water storage area.
The artificially built plain reservoir with the largest area and the longest dam in China is a large-scale water conservancy project with flood control as its main function and comprehensive utilization of irrigation, power generation, aquaculture and tourism. 1989 After the reconstruction of Su Hu, the water surface is open and the scenery is pleasant. It is called the "artificial cave" in the north.
Su Hu, with a total area of 38 West Lakes, is a large-scale water conservancy project integrating water collection, electricity and animal husbandry, with abundant fish production.
The construction and development of ecological environment in Henan are changing with each passing day. A large number of migratory birds have settled in various parts of Henan, which is the best witness. In previous years, a large number of swans could only be seen in Sanmenxia, western Henan. This winter, they can also be seen in Shangqiu, Yudong, Zhumadian and southern Henan. These migratory birds are so calm when they are in close contact with the city, which is the result of people's enhanced awareness of environmental protection.
According to legend, a long time ago, there was no reservoir here, but a swamp with rivers and ditches. After ten years of floods, wild animals appeared. In summer, flocks of waterfowl and ducks come here to settle, live and breed. So it has become a world of wild ducks and other birds, so it is also called Lake Suya.
When winter comes, it becomes a resting place for migratory birds to move south. Here, every flock of birds can find their own position and fulfill the promise of returning every year. With a total investment of more than 3 billion yuan, this water conservancy project will remove 9 1 10,000 cubic meters of silt and earthwork in the reservoir area, make the water depth of 65% of the reservoir area more than two meters, and significantly improve the self-purification function of water bodies.
Lake Suha is like a crystal pearl embedded in the Central Plains. She is as quiet as a virgin, holding the turbulent Ruhe River, Zhentou River and Lianjiang River in the upper reaches of Huaihe River, which has a unique warmth. This is a good place to raise fish and mussels.
Suha Lake is a lovely place with charming scenery all year round. In spring, the breeze blows the quiet lake, rippling layers of waterline. The willows on the shore have sprouted new branches and green leaves.
Grass crawled out of the soil, colorful wildflowers scrambled to open their smiling faces, swallows flew back from the south, and Lake Suya became more vibrant.
This used to be a low-lying beach. Wild ducks often thrive here and are turned into Lake Suya by local people.
After four months' efforts, 1 10000 migrant workers in five neighboring counties have built the current Suya Lake, with a water storage area of 239 square kilometers and a perennial water surface of1/0000 mu. Tickets for Suya Lake Scenic Area are free.
