Miyun Reservoir (Chinese: 密云水库) is located 16 kilometers north of the Miyun District in Beijing, straddling the Chaohe River and Baihe River.[1] There are two major rivers flowing into the reservoir, namely the Bai River and the Chao River. It is the largest artificial lake in Asia[2] and is billed as the "Pearl in North China" (华北明珠).[3]

The construction of the reservoir started on 1 September 1958[4] and was completed in September 1960. [5]

The construction of Miyun Reservoir was designed by the Department of Water Resources of Tsinghua University,[6] 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. [7]

Miyun Reservoir covers an area of 180 square kilometers,[8] with a reservoir capacity of 4 billion cubic meters and an average depth of 30 meters, making it the largest[9] and only source of drinking water supply for Beijing,[10] serving over 11 million people.[11]
