The flood and sand flushing created a spectacular scene and attracted many visitors. Heavy rains have struck the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River since July 1. Xiaolangdi Reservoir is the largest of its kind on the Yellow River, designed for flood and ice control, dredging, and ensuring water supply and power generation. Xinhua |
