Environmental problems of Liujiaxia Reservoir

Due to the large amount of sediment deposited in Liujiaxia Reservoir every year, the actual effective storage capacity of the whole reservoir has been reduced from 5.7 billion cubic meters when the dam was built to 4.2 billion cubic meters, and the storage capacity loss is 65.438+0.5 billion cubic meters, which seriously threatens the normal operation and service life of the hydropower station.

Due to the lack of coastal vegetation in Liujiaxia reservoir area, landslides and collapses often occur on the bank slope of the reservoir, and soil erosion is extremely serious. Yongjing, Dongxiang, Linxia, Jishi and Linxia counties along the reservoir area invest a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to comprehensively control the ecological environment in the reservoir area every year, but the ecological situation in Liujiaxia reservoir area is still grim.
