Xiyuanhu Reservoir
"Xiyuanhu Reservoir", formerly known as "Nv Yanchi", is located in the northwest of Xiezhou Town and belongs to the Sushui River Basin. The reservoir area is what we often call "Nitrochitan", which is one of the important facilities for flood control in the west of Yanchi, Yuncheng City. It is a natural lake in Yuncheng Basin. Its main function is to regulate and store floods and reduce the threat of floods to salt ponds, and it is an important protective barrier for Yuncheng salt ponds.

Since the Tang Dynasty, "Xiyuanhu Reservoir" has formed a flood control system of salt pond together with Beimen Beach, Yatang Beach, Li Tang Beach and many dikes and weirs, which mainly blocks the inland surface and shallow groundwater in yongji city, south of Yaoxuan Canal and west of salt pond. The tertiary drainage pump located on the west bank of Xiyuanhu Reservoir pumps the surplus water from Xiyuanhu Reservoir to Yaoxuanqu under the jurisdiction of yongji city, then to Wuxing Lake, and finally to the Yellow River.

Xiyuanhu Reservoir is adjacent to Beimen Beach in the east and Tongpu Railway in the south. Beimen Beach is close to the north of Xiezhou, and the south Tongpu Railway passes through the beach. Xiezhou Railway Station is built in the middle of Beimen Beach. The roadbed of the railway is soaked in beach water all the year round, which is very affected. Therefore, it is known as "the Jiezhou section of the South Tongpu Railway has been flooded for years".

Xiaochitan and Beimen Beach in Xiezhou belong to wetland ecosystem. As we all know, wetland belongs to the inland "kidney", which can adjust the local "microclimate", has its ecological function, and reflects the "indirect value" of wetland ecosystem, which plays an important role. In recent years, people pay more and more attention to the problems of resource shortage and environmental pollution, especially water shortage and water pollution.

The government is determined to make great efforts to govern. Yuncheng City started the "Xiyuanhu Reservoir Flood Control Project", which started on April 20 17 and was completed on September 30, 20 1 8. The project includes four flood storage and detention ponds, namely Xiyuanhu Reservoir, Beimen Beach West Beach, Beimen Beach Middle Beach and Beimen Beach East Beach, two drainage systems of Changxiao Canal and Xiyuanhu Reservoir, and four pumping stations of Xiyuanhu Reservoir and Beimen Beach Drainage Pumping Station.

Xiyuanhu Reservoir has a maximum storage capacity of 65.47 million cubic meters and a water level of 337.5 meters. The project consists of reservoir engineering, drainage engineering and flood diversion engineering. The main projects include dam reinforcement and reconstruction project, dam observation project, Beimen Beach connecting sluice project, Beimen Beach flood diversion sluice project, railway culvert dredging and Beimen Beach flood diversion canal project.

In wet years, the water level in the beach is extremely high, and it is almost flush with the road surface at the highest. I remember it was the summer of 1982. There was a lot of rain and many places were flooded. From the car to Jiezhou, the beach water on both sides of the road almost overflowed. From a distance, I feel as if I am in the sea of Wang Yang.

We are very familiar with Beimen Beach. Around 2000, Beimen Beach was dry and waterless, with a flat and wide bottom. The fine sand washed by beach water all the year round feels soft and fine in your hand, and it is very comfortable to step on it barefoot. Sometimes when I go to physical education class, I will lead students to run, go down to the bottom of the beach and do all kinds of unarmed exercises and physical activities on the fine sand. There are traces of beach water on the dam, which read the changes of the times.

Later, there was more rain, and the water in Beimen Beach accumulated and rose again. The beach water is swaying and sparkling; Fish swim in the water, sometimes jumping out of the water and sometimes diving into the bottom. Walking on the weir, the path twists and turns and stretches into the distance; The breeze is blowing in your face, with moist water vapor. ...

Sometimes, about three or five friends go to the embankment to collect wind; Sometimes, lead a team and move along the embankment; Sometimes, when I go to the weir alone, the music goes with me. Memories of the past bring sweet memories. ...

Today, when they walked out, they looked at the West Lake Plateau Reservoir. The wastewater from Yuncheng was treated to remove the odor. We can see that there is a smooth cement road on the old weir, and there is a small pit at intervals. It is said that a lamp post will be planted. There are neat protective bricks on both sides of the earth weir, protective nets under the dam, and strong flood control bags ... standing on the embankment, overlooking the water surface, the water surface is like a mirror; Looking up, Tianshui is the same color. Looking down the road, I seem to see a row of solar light poles on the edge of the dam, and a lamp emits dazzling light. ...

According to them, an island will be built in the middle of the lake and a wetland park will be built here, which will be a tourist attraction of Guandi Temple. Is it? Is it? Great! Hope is not a soap bubble, leaving us with a dazzling hope, and then quietly shattered.

It used to be said that a "wetland park" would be built in Beimen Beach. It is said that the land acquisition work has been completed. We look forward to the stars and the moon, the first park in Xiezhou, and the flowers in bloom. This matter is silent, no more.

Xiyuanhu Reservoir Project maintains the long-term safety of this flood control and water storage wetland, and protects the structure and function of water ecosystem. Xiyuanhu Reservoir Project will create a clean and fresh water area and ensure the happiness and well-being of people living in this area. Xiyuanhu Reservoir Project is a project to benefit the people, which will make the water in Xiezhou more beautiful, the mountains greener and the people more beautiful!

Island in the middle of the lake, wetland park, here we come. Where are you? Xiyuanhu Reservoir is waiting for you, Beimen Beach is waiting for you, Xiezhou residents are waiting for you, and we are waiting for you!
