As the second longest river in the country, all the originals of the city were published and copiedYellow riverThe entire length reached 5464 km and, after being drawn from the source of the tibetan plateau, it passed through various geographical blocks, such as the yellow-earth plateau, the guanchong basin and the north china plain, and eventually into the sea
The yellow river passes through many of our geographical blocks
The long river lanes and the complicated terrain along which the yellow river is located are very resourceful, and many of them are suitable for the construction of water hubs. After decades of development, we have built several water hubs, such as the canyon of dragons, the canyon of liu, the three canyons and the bottom of small waves。
Today, the yellow river is no longer suitable for the construction of large water hubs, especially in the upper part of the river, in the isthmus of montenegro, at the border between gansu and ningxia provinces, which is the last area capable of building a dam reservoir
Why do you say that
On the one hand, the isthmus of montenegro is a very spectacular canyon
The isthmus of montenegro
Its upstream starting point is the temple village in gansuyang far district, extending to the small southern bay village of ningxia midway city, with an entire canyon length of more than 70 kilometres, with steep vertically steep hills on both sides, deep mountains, with a gap of more than 100 metres between the top of the hill and the river, and well suited to stop rivers from building dams to form reservoirs。

On the other hand, the yellow river isthmus is very abundant
The small volume of yellow river water, with annual runoff of 58 billion cubic metres, as many are impressed, but this is due to the relatively dry regional climate of the river's downstream flow, the limited availability of additional water along its routes and the large population of the basin, which also consumes large amounts of water resources

In fact, the volume of water in the upper yellow river is no less than in most of the world's large rivers, with an annual runoff of 33. 2 billion cubic metres in the canyons of montenegro, equivalent to over 60 per cent of the total run-off of the yellow river。
The isthmus of montenegro is the “place of choice” for the construction of a large water hub
From the design data related to the water hub project in the isthmus of montenegro, the water hub is also fully “fitted” for such excellent conditions:
The project is located over 2 km from the main isthmus of the yellow river, approximately 30 km from ningxia city, with a planned dam of 163. 5 m high, a reservoir of 1380 m with a total reservoir capacity of 11. 45 billion cubic metres, a hydroelectric plant capacity of 2. 6 million and an annual capacity of 7. 15 billion degrees, in addition to 20 million acres of irrigated and abandoned land
The project is expected to be completed by 2035, with a total investment of $91. 5 billion
Thus, not only is the water hub in the isthmus of montenegro very heavily constructed, but the benefits of its construction are considerable。
Seeing here, a lot of friends are aware of a problem:
Our early development of the yellow river is quite large, as the city-wide mystery mentioned above, and even in the upper part of the yellow river, large water hubs such as liu jia gorge and dragon gorge have been built and put into operation..

Why haven't you started working on the isthmus
In fact, as early as the early days of the new china, the 1950s, our country had plans, and more than 70 years earlier it had been unable to actually start work
The reason for this is also obvious, namely, the disputed location of the project
At the border between gansu and ningxia in the isthmus of montenegro, which, once under construction, will be faced with the flooding of the reservoirs and the settlement of migrants, the two provinces, depending on their own circumstances, have proposed a number of different construction programmes
The water hub in the isthmus of montenegro
1. In the 1950s, the willows programme vs small-symphonic high dam - willow low dam secondary development programme。
In 1952, my country began to demonstrate the construction of a water hub in the isthmus of montenegro, where two places could build a dam reservoir, one in gansu and the other in ningxia
(a) the willow programme was presented by pybliningshar, while gansu proposed a secondary development programme for the low-lying willows and small-sounding dams, but at that time niningshar was still gansu, which was finally validated by research and adopted at the second session of the national people's congress in 1955
However, as a result of the separation of ningxia from gansu in 1958, the area, including the willows, was divided into ningxia, and for a number of other reasons the work was not started。

2. After the 1980s, the great willow level development programme vs red mountain isthmus - five buddhas - small voices - great willow iv development programme。
Following the opening of the reforms, our economy entered a phase of rapid development, and the water hub of the isthmus of montenegro was again on the agenda, and in the 1980s ningxia and gansu each invested their own funds in pre-demonstrating the great willow programme, which in turn proposed that the isthmus of montenegro, together with the red mountain gorge and the five buddha, within a distance of nearly 100 kilometres upstream, could develop four stairway run-off low dams that would form the red mountain gorge-50 buddha-minor-willow iv development programme
Both
According to the willows programme, the fourth tier of the development programme is too monolithic and can only be built as a hydroelectric power station and cannot store water, thus losing flood-resistant irrigation, while the construction of the willows dam will result in a 1380-metre storage level that will allow self-irrigated irrigation in many lower-altitude areas around the surroundings, including mide, silver and wuway, with the same benefits in the downstream areas of ordos and elm
For the level-iv development programme, the willows programme will flood nearly 100,000 acres of arable land, requiring up to 100,000 migrants, and 96 per cent of the inundated areas are located in gansu, which is too difficult for gansu, in addition to covering the yellow river stone national geological park, a non-renewable geological landscape。

After more than 30 years of discussion and argument, the willows programme was gradually endorsed and supported jointly by gansu and ningxia, the preparatory phase for the water hub project in the isthmus of montenegro entered the fast track
1. Shortly after, the two prefectures jointly announced the coverage of the project backwater area:
Ningxia indicated that the yellow river canyon water hub project had a normal water storage level of 1380 metres and that the area covered seven administrative villages and inundated areas in three townships in the sandside tops of ningxia city
On the other hand, gansu explained that, according to the results of the calculation of the normal level of water storage of 1380 metres and backwater at the current stage of the project, the water hub project in the isthmus of montenegro and the submergence area involved 46 administrative villages in 12 townships of the city of yankian, cheongtai district and 3 districts of hinchuan district in gansu province。

2. Ningxia also published the relevant indicators and the total investment for the yellow river montenegro isthmus water hub project and prepared a feasibility study for the project in the investment plan for priority pre-work projects in the autonomous region for 2024。
3. In june of this year, ningxia also published a pre-trial and location certificate for the construction project for the water hub in the isthmus of the yellow river montenegro and published the location of the project, covering the period from 19 june 2025 to 28 june 2025
Publicity of the location of the water hub project in the isthmus of montenegro
It is important to know that more than 70 years have passed since its introduction in 1952 and that the main reason for the difficulty in starting construction of the water hub in the isthmus of montenegro is the site dispute
The publication of the bulletin means that the most critical constraints to construction are no longer present。
The whole city's secrets really wanted to say, "what good is it?"

Over the past 70 years, it can be said that it was 70 years of “justification” in the two provinces of ningsha gansu around the water hub project in the isthmus of montenegro, and 70 years of anticipation of the project by the surroundings
The construction schedule is now clear, with the construction of a water hub in the isthmus of montenegro expected to be completed in 2035, when the long-suffering problems of water use, irrigation and so on will be resolved in many places, such as the gansuningsha border region and the downstream inner mongolia, and the region will also have completely different ecological environment and development spaces
