1. Gaozhou Reservoir is located in the northeast of Gaozhou City, including Changpo, Madao, Dajing, Pingshan, Shenzhen, Chaochao and other towns, thus forming a large reservoir with rainwater collection area of 1022 square kilometers, reservoir surface of more than 60 square kilometers and storage capacity of11500,000 cubic meters.
It is one of the large reservoirs in China. It is a large-scale water conservancy project that mainly focuses on irrigation, flood control and water supply, combined with comprehensive utilization of power generation, tourism and shipping. Because of its green water color, it is also called Jade Lake.
Standing on the main stone dam, which is more than 800 meters long, about 55 meters high and 1 1 m wide, you can see the beautiful scenery surrounded by mountains and water. The vast water surface is sparkling under the light breeze and sunshine, like huge soft silks and satins stretching under the distant sky, and like infinite crystal notes on natural music scores, Xu Ya produces clear and beautiful music.
The light emitted by water 30 to 50 meters deep refracts to the water surface, and the color is blue and transparent; From near to far, it is a mysterious place where the water surface spreads in the atmosphere among scattered mountains, dives gently, and goes from bright to far. An artificial water conservancy landscape is actually combined with the surrounding landscape, which is harmonious and makes nature wonderful and exquisite, as beautiful as a fairyland.
Perhaps because of the change of seasons and things, the water color of Gaozhou Reservoir changes all year round: spring is blue, summer is green, autumn is green and winter is blue. Excellent water quality breeds fat fish. In the early 1980s, 50,000 kilograms of nets were caught here at most, and the heaviest individuals reached more than 60 kilograms. The average weight of fish is 2 to 25 kilograms.
On this mirror-clear lake, there are many emerald-like islands. Close or far against each other, forming a wonderful image of mountains and rivers. According to the shapes of these islands, the locals gave them various pictographic names: Snake Island, Turtle Island, Moon Island, Dragon Riding Island and so on. They took their positions and hugged each other tightly, making the old people stare deeply. If the ink is dyed and carefully laid out, it will present a green, light gray and indigo ink painting.
Surrounded by mountains and streams. They came to the foot of the mountain, gathered with the rain all the year round, and poured into Gaozhou Reservoir together, creating a beautiful picture of nature. Naughty waterfowl broke the calm of the water, and the quiet reservoir seemed to have just woken up. The wind blew on the lake, bringing freshness and coolness. Clouds wander in the mountains and rivers, like wanderers who are attached to their hometown and unwilling to leave. The sky on the dam is high and the clouds are light, the mountains are wide and the water is wide, and the mountains and rivers are connected with the sky, which is antique.
2. Entering the reservoir park from the dam, the banyan tree spreads its branches and leaves, and the fiber hangs down like an old man. Sitting on a high place, you can see the fields under the mountain are covered with green, and buildings stand among evergreen trees. Tall palm trees and lush fruit trees, such as litchi, longan and mango, are lush and hidden in the path of Mingjing Avenue.
Gaozhou Reservoir is famous for its water, and each scenic spot is an interconnected tourism plate. The magnificent dam under our feet is a miracle in itself. This is a magnificent building built by people with shoulders, hands and pressure when building a reservoir.
Shigouling, which is connected with the dam, is a natural mountain with rugged rocks, such as serious and vigorous guards guarding the warning line of the reservoir. Fen tree stubbornly grows on the rocks, lush, covered with the green of life, difficult and strange to rise, and the towering peak is like a brave man with his head held high. The 25-meter-high grand monument built to commemorate the establishment of the library is like a giant pointing to the sky, writing magnificent poems of people in western Guangdong who moved to other places. The circular hole pattern at the top of the monument is a symbol of the sun and the moon, which means that the great achievements of the builders are the same as those of the sun and the moon. The statues of three figures, with round waist and wide arms, are carrying rammers together, vividly showing the labor scene of building reservoirs in those years. In the idea of the statue author, labor and beauty are concentrated in this abstract art made of cement and steel. On the same sightseeing avenue, stands a sculpture of a fairy bathing. The lovely fairy held a long hose, raised her chest and lowered her eyebrows to welcome visitors from all directions, and restored a section of hose to drive away the flood and benefit the people. It is said that there was an unfathomable fairy well in Shigouling in ancient times, in which lived a beautiful narcissus girl. One day, the villages and fields around Shigu River were flooded by heavy rain that lasted for seven days and seven nights. Narcissus girl waved a hose and led the torrent into the bottomless fairy well to keep the people safe. In the dry and rainy season, she waved water pipes to draw water from wells, nourishing villages and fields. In memory of this kind and intelligent nun, people created this vivid and touching statue of a fairy bathing.
In the boundless water, there are eight small islands of different sizes floating, one of which is like a full moon, embedded in the green lake, called Moon Island. The other seven small islands surround the moon island like stars, forming a wonderful spectacle of seven stars accompanying the moon.
Nowadays, on the Moon Island where the seasons are like spring, litchi, longan, mango and other fruit trees are full of fragrance all year round. There are also modern entertainment facilities such as barbecues, fishing kiosks and bars, which provide more choices for tourists. Among many small islands, one island is named Qilongling because of its statues of dragons and fairies.
"The mountain is not high, the fairy is not famous, the water is not deep, and the dragon is in the spirit." Here, you can hear the sound of water waves, flowers bloom, fruits are fragrant, and birds follow the flowers. Orioles, turtledoves, partridges, cuckoos, even swans, cranes and other birds fly here for the winter. There is also a painting and calligraphy gallery on the island, which contains many famous paintings and calligraphy in various fonts and ink colors, and the traditional culture of China can be passed down and carried forward here.
Speedboats and luxury yachts are parked neatly by the lake, expecting to carry tourists on this wide water surface, float between islands and explore more mysterious and profound lake scenery. Tourists go back by boat and set out in the breeze and fog.
Water maze makes people lose their way in mountains and rivers. The broken waterway of the yacht rolled up, causing countless ripples on the calm water. The breeze is blowing gently, and the scattered mountains, clouds and water are integrated. Scenery, clear water and blue sky, birds and colorful weather. It can be said that "the scenery is in the sky, and the fairyland on earth is in Yuhu Lake".
Gaozhou Reservoir, a famous tourist attraction, is now called the back garden of Maoming. Built in the 1960s, it was an unforgettable period for Maoming people to survive and develop. Maoming has a vast territory, and it is impossible to solve the irrigation problem of farmland over 1 10,000 mu and the domestic water consumption problem of millions of people only by relying on one Jian River and its tributary Jiang Xiaodong River.
The local government clearly knows that only by making full use of water storage in mountainous areas can the problems of agriculture and drinking water be solved. This has become an important agenda and urgent desire of the local government and the masses. Later, abundant oil shale was discovered in Maoming open-pit mining area, which can be used to smelt oil.
From 65438 to 0956, during the difficult period of oil shortage in China, it became an inevitable choice in history to develop the heavy oil industry by self-reliance, which was also an opportunity for Maoming people. After scientific exploration and research, the leaders are far ahead.
Taking this opportunity, in the winter of 1956, Guangzhou Survey and Design Institute of the Ministry of Water Resources conducted a comprehensive survey of Jianjiang River Basin, and put forward a proposal to build Liangde Reservoir in Gaozhou, which was confirmed by experts from the Ministry of Water Resources and the Soviet Union who visited the site.
The Guangzhou Survey and Design Institute of the Ministry of Water Resources is responsible for the engineering design of the reservoir, the Guangdong Provincial Water Resources Department is responsible for the technical guidance and assistance of the construction, and the Zhanjiang prefectural party committee is responsible for organizing and leading the construction. 1 958 may1day, the engineering headquarters of liangde reservoir was established, and the construction of liangde reservoir started on may 18.
/kloc-0 was completed on September 24th, 959, and water storage began on October 29th. Later, in order to meet the water demand of 540,000 mu of farmland that cannot be irrigated by gravity in Meihua River, Jiangcao River and Liangde Reservoir, Maoming County Committee proposed to build Shigu Reservoir by using the engineering funds saved by Liangde Reservoir and local self-raised funds.
1958 10 Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and Maoming County Committee reached an agreement and decided to build Shigu Reservoir in the upper reaches of Jiang Cao. The construction of Shigu Reservoir started in June 1958+0 1, and the main project of Shigu Reservoir was completed in July 1960. Liangde Reservoir and Shigu Reservoir are connected by Longtouao artificial canal to form Gaozhou Reservoir.
At that time, there were 5 main and auxiliary dams in Liangde reservoir area, with the maximum dam height of 43.2 meters. There is a power station behind the dam with an installed capacity of 2 1 000 kW and a designed annual power generation of 52 million kWh. There are three main dams and auxiliary dams in Guku Reservoir Project, with the highest dam being 52.3 meters high. There is a power station behind the dam, with an installed capacity of 23,000 kilowatts and a total cost of 44812300 yuan, of which 316484 yuan is invested by the state and 3163900 yuan is raised by the local government.
The construction of Gaozhou Reservoir reflects the urgent requirements of the local government and people. The Guangdong Provincial Party Committee handed over the state investment lump sum funds to Zhanjiang District Committee and Maoming County Committee for use, which gave full play to the local enthusiasm and made the whole construction achieve the effects of less investment, high speed, high efficiency and good quality. The investment budget of Liangde Reservoir Project is 45 million yuan, and the state only invested 30 million yuan. The actual expenditure is12.7 million yuan, accounting for only 42.3% of the state investment. The rest of the money, together with self-raised funds from some places, has built a Shigu Reservoir with a heavier workload.
Two reservoir areas * * * flooded 39,300 mu of cultivated land, with 58,867 immigrants. Gaozhou county government established the demolition committee in February 1958. Most immigrants settled in Gaozhou, and some moved to Yangchun, Yangjiang, Zhongshan, Taishan, Doumen, Haikang and Suixi.
Before and after the construction of the reservoir project, Gaozhou, Huazhou, Dianbai, Wuchuan, Maonan and other districts organized the masses to invest as many as10.2 million people in the irrigation area, and successively opened water supply channels in Liangde and Shigu irrigation areas, forming a relatively complete water conservancy irrigation network in Jianjiang Plain.
The Industrial Canal is a project to provide industrial and domestic water for Maoming City. Take water from Nansheng barrage to Maoming, with a length of 21.4km..
After Gaozhou Reservoir was put into use,1June, 963, Zhanjiang Administrative Office decided to set up Jianjiang River Basin Water Conservancy Project Management Bureau to manage hub projects and water supply work in a unified way. According to the problems left over from the construction and operation of the project, the Administration has successively carried out maintenance, reinforcement, expansion and continued construction, so as to improve the supporting facilities of the project and continuously bring benefits into play. In 2006, Gaozhou Reservoir carried out a comprehensive reinforcement project, which further improved the comprehensive benefits of Gaozhou Reservoir.
Gaozhou Reservoir is a miracle in the history of human water conservancy. In this magnificent building, 65,438+10,000 farmers, leading cadres and engineers and technicians have selflessly contributed their hard work and extraordinary wisdom.
