The Xiaolangdi water control project is exploited in combination with the Sanmen Gorge, Luhun and Guxian reservoirs. Dongping Lake is also used for flood diversion. These measures can raise the flood control standard of the lower Yellow River, which can handle floods of a "once in a thousand years" nature. The ice run threats have been were basically relieved and frequent average floods burdens eased in the lower Yellow River through joint tackling measures. At the same time, under the premise of ensuring downstream flood control and meeting downstream silt reduction, Xiaolangdi can also regulate runoff and increase available water sources for downstream industrial and agricultural water use. Power generation peak shaving can improve the operating conditions of the power system. [Photo by Zheng Liang/China.org.cn]
