Zhuo Main Canal's Storage Basin Project (Fourth Basin)

Basic information

Introduction
The Zhuo Main Canal is the largest irrigation system under the jurisdiction of this office, covering an irrigation area of 38,000 hectares with a 33-km long main line. The water source, the Zhuoshui River, has high turbidity and an unstable supply. To address this, storage basins were constructed to store off-peak nighttime water from the Zhuo Main Canal for agricultural irrigation. The key objectives of this project include:

1. Water Storage: Maximizing the use of available land by adding strip-shaped multifunctional storage basins, in addition to improving the channels.
2. Regulation: Regulating nighttime off-peak water to supplement daytime peak water usage.
3. Flood Detention: Storing and mitigating floods during heavy rains, with stored water being used for irrigation afterward.
4. Sedimentation: Reducing downstream siltation by allowing sediment to settle in the gently sloped basin.
