Pazi water conservancy project and supporting irrigation projects
Pazi Water Conservancy Project and supporting irrigation project are composed of the project, Angren water supply project and supporting irrigation project. The main dam adopts asphalt concrete core dam with a maximum height of 108 meters. The irrigation project has arranged 6 trunk canals, with a total length of 83.72 kilometers. The total construction period is 66 months and the total investment is 2.938 billion yuan.
According to the introduction, the normal water storage level of the reservoir of Pazi Water conservancy project and supporting irrigation area project is 4325 meters. It is one of the 150 major water conservancy projects identified by The State Council of China and a leading project for the implementation of rural revitalization strategy in Xigaze City.
