Spectacular Xiaolangdi flood discharge

Xiaolangdi Water Control Project of the Yellow River is located at the junction of Henan and Shanxi provinces in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, about 40 kilometers northwest of Luoyang City. Xiaolangdi Water Control Project of the Yellow River is a large-scale comprehensive water conservancy project integrating siltation reduction, flood control, ice prevention, water supply irrigation and power generation on the main stream of the Yellow River. It is a key project for harnessing and developing the Yellow River and belongs to the national key project during the Eighth Five-Year Plan. Xiaolangdi water control project is the only control project that can realize large storage capacity below Sanmenxia, the main stream of the Yellow River. Combined with the existing Sanmenxia, Luhun and Guxian reservoirs, the flood control standard of the lower reaches of the Yellow River can be raised to once in a thousand years by using Dongping Lake for flood diversion. Xiaolangdi Water Control Project was completed at the end of 1 year 200 1 year. In recent years, flood discharge and sediment discharge in Xiaolangdi flood season has become a new tourist card in Luoyang.

Although it is only less than an hour's drive to Xiaolangdi, we have never seen flood discharge and sediment discharge in flood season. I saw a photo of someone flooding in the group the other day, and my mother really wants to show it to you.

One of the soldiers my mother once took worked in Xiaolangdi. My mother called for advice and learned that the sand began to flow yesterday. It has been clear water for a few days, and it will reach a safe water level around 10, and it will not be discharged. My uncle suggested that my mother go there around five o'clock in the afternoon. First of all, there will be fewer tourists, there will be no long queues, and I am not afraid of traffic jams. Second, the weather will be cool, and I won't feel uncomfortable because of exposure. My uncle made an appointment with us to go together at five this afternoon. He showed us the best places.

We set off at five o'clock sharp to pick him up at my uncle's house. It's cloudy today, and my mother regrets that she should start early. If it gets dark at Xiaolangdi, there is nothing to see. Along the way, my mother worried that it would get dark early on a cloudy day and she wouldn't make a trip in vain. To make matters worse, it began to rain outside Luoyang, and it rained harder and harder. We didn't even bring rain gear. My uncle promised that there would be no problem. He has been in Xiaolangdi for many years and knows the weather there like the back of his hand. Mom is lucky again: I don't know if the rain will stop when I get there.

God has a reward. When we arrived at the scenic spot, the rain really stopped. When we drove to the Yellow River, we saw the mud flow rolling in the river, which was quite spectacular. We can't help but marvel. Later, my uncle took us to the bottom of the spillway to watch the flood discharge at close range. I saw yellow water rushing out of the spillway, like a tiger scrambling to squeeze out, which was particularly spectacular. Among the four released spillway outlets, the top outlet spouts clear water and splashes white water mist after discharge, while the yellow sediment water from the lower spillway splashes yellow water mist after discharge, with white water mist on top and yellow water mist on the bottom. Due to the constant change of discharged water and sand, the water mist is constantly changing, changing every minute.

There is nothing but running water, but it flows out in various ways. This is the charm of Xiaolangdi flood discharge. After watching the flood discharge, it was already dark. We set off for the city and it began to rain again. It rained before I went there, and the dust and sand on the road were quiet. On the ground, we were completely humiliated. The rain stopped while watching, and we were very happy; It rained when I came back, and the temperature in the city dropped. I can have a good sleep at night. Today is a godsend!
