Where is Baihetan Hydropower Station? It is the second hydropower station in Liangshan, Sichuan.

Baihetan Hydropower Station is a famous water conservancy project in China, ranking second only to Three Gorges Hydropower Station, but the height of Baihetan Hydropower Station is higher than Three Gorges Hydropower Station. Now Baihetan Hydropower Station is also a famous tourist attraction in China. Because of its magnificent architecture, many tourists from all over the country come here to watch it.

Where is Baihetan Hydropower Station?

Baihetan Hydropower Station is located at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan. It is located at the junction of the first and second steps in China. In a broad sense, it is the Yangtze River, but according to our traditional culture, this section is called Jinsha River. Therefore, the elevation of Baihetan Hydropower Station far exceeds that of the Three Gorges Dam, and the surrounding mountains and rivers are all over 2000 meters.

The power station is located in a canyon, as if it had been cut down by an axe, which also doomed the area of Baihetan Hydropower Station to be smaller than that of the Three Gorges. However, the huge terrain gap can still bring it abundant hydropower.

Compared with the Three Gorges, Baihetan's power generation task is heavier, and its flood control function is slightly smaller, because the precipitation in the place where Baihetan Hydropower Station is located is less than that in the area where the Three Gorges is responsible. However, the flood control grade of Baihetan is built according to the highest standard. After all, as infrastructure fanatics, we try to make sure that every building is very strong. The water level of Baihetan is 825 meters and the total storage capacity of the reservoir is 20.6 billion cubic meters.

These data are really bleak compared with the Three Gorges, but Baihetan Hydropower Station, as its name suggests, is like a crane spreading its wings. Cranes are not strong among birds. They are slender, but they can leap over nine days and soar in the sky. Although Baihetan Hydropower Station is not grand enough, it has quietly made breakthroughs in many fields. Engineering Significance of Baihetan Hydropower Station

The construction and development of Baihetan Hydropower Station will bring good opportunities for the social and economic development of the reservoir area, and the traffic and infrastructure construction of the reservoir area will be greatly improved, which will promote the development of related industries and will certainly play a positive role in the regional social and economic development. At the same time, the construction of this project will be of far-reaching significance to promote the development of the western region, realize the transmission of electricity from the west to the east, and promote the complementary advantages of western resources and the economic development of the eastern and central regions.
