Miyun Reservoir ("Miyun" means "Dense Clouds",[1] Chinese: 密云水库)[2] is a large-scale reservoir in the People's Republic of China, located 16 kilometers north of the Miyun District in Beijing, straddling the Chaohe River (潮河) and Baihe River (白河).[3] There are two major rivers flowing into the reservoir, namely the Bai River and the Chao River. The reservoir was formally completed on September 1, 1960. [4]

Miyun Reservoir is the largest comprehensive water conservancy project in North China. [5] The reservoir covers an area of 180 square kilometers,[6] with a reservoir capacity of 4 billion cubic meters and an average depth of 30 meters, making it the largest[7] and only source of drinking-water supply for Beijing,[8] serving over 11 million people.[9]

Miyun Reservoir is the largest artificial lake in Asia[10] and is billed as the "Pearl in North China" (华北明珠).[11]

History

Construction of Miyun Reservoir started on 1 September 1958[12] and was completed in September 1960. [13] The chief designer of the project was Zhang Guangdou.[14]

Miyun Reservoir was designed by the Department of Water Resources of Tsinghua University,[15] with the participation of a large number of migrant workers from Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, and the Engineering Bureau of the Ministry of Water Resources and Electric Power. [16]

Surrounding environment

Along the Miyun Reservoir, there is a 110-kilometer-long Huanku Road (环库公路).[17]
