Which is bigger, Liang Shi Reservoir or Hongze Lake?

Liang Shi River Reservoir, also known as Hailing Lake, is the largest artificial reservoir in Jiangsu Province, located at the junction of Ganyu County and Donghai County in Lianyungang City, northern Jiangsu Province.

Jiangsu is rich in water resources, and most natural lakes are located in the south of Jiangsu. However, there is the largest artificial reservoir in Jiangsu-Liang Shi River Reservoir in northern Jiangsu, which can be called a beautiful lake.

The reservoir started at 1958 and was completed at 1962. It integrates flood control, water storage, irrigation, power generation, aquaculture and other functions, with a total storage capacity of 53 1 100 million cubic meters. When it was pushed dry, the reservoir area was beautiful, surrounded by Chrysanthemum Garden, Zhuqi Ancient City and Jiagu Mountain.

Hongze Lake is one of the five largest freshwater lakes in China. But the original Hongze Lake was just a small lake group (before the Tang and Song Dynasties), and it was not until the end of the Ming Dynasty that a big lake was formed.

Hongzehu reservoir, located in the west of Hongze County, Jiangsu Province, is a reservoir formed by adding a control project on Hongze Lake. It is composed of natural lakes, Hongze Lake levee, Sanhe sluice, Hull sluice and Gaoliangjian sluice, with a total storage capacity of 654.38+03.5 billion cubic meters, which has many functions and great significance.

The difference between hongzehu reservoir and Liang Shi Reservoir is that Liang Shi Reservoir is the largest artificial reservoir in Jiangsu, and hongzehu reservoir is a large plain reservoir formed by adding control works on Hongze Lake.
