Danghe Reservoir

Danghe Reservoir is located at Danghekou in Dunhuang City, 36 kilometers away from Dunhuang City in the north. There are two hydrological stations at Danghekou and Dangchengwan in the reservoir. Danghekou Station is located at the dam site of the reservoir, and Dangchengwan Station is far from the dam site. 75 kilometers away, it is the only flood reporting station in the upper reaches of the reservoir; there are also two entrusted rainfall observation stations in Aksai and Wukuo Temple. 58 kilometers upstream of the dam site, there is no flood reporting task at either station. The main sources of water in the Danghe Reservoir are snowmelt water from icebergs and snow, and the collection of rainwater from the area where the river flows. It used to be a seasonal river, but now the river is artificially intercepted and built into a reservoir, and the water flow is stored and used for urban drinking water and agricultural irrigation. Although the distance between Snow Mountain and Danghe Reservoir is hundreds of kilometers, the desert weather is still hot, but the river water is still cold in summer. Great for swimming in the water.
