Spark Solution

In the past, Shimen Reservoir was once affected by sediment accumulation, leading to a reduction in its storage capacity and posing a threat to its lifespan. In order to extend its life, the construction of the Amuping desilting tunnel became an effective tool for reservoir dredging. In the event of a typhoon or heavy rainfall, when there is a high inflow of silt or sediment into the reservoir area, it can be activated to serve flood control and Reservoir hydraulic slag removal.
