Dujiangyan, Ancient irrigation system in Dujiangyan City, China
The Dujiangyan irrigation network directs water from the Min River through a series of channels, weirs, and levees across the Sichuan region.
The State of Qin constructed this engineering marvel in 256 BC to manage floods and provide water for agricultural development in the Chengdu Plain.
The Two Kings Temple near the irrigation system commemorates Li Bing and his son, who designed and supervised the construction of this water management system.
The irrigation system continues to supply water to 668,700 hectares of farmland while maintaining ecological balance through its natural flow management techniques.
Instead of using conventional dams, the system employs a specialized division method that splits water flow between irrigation channels and the main river course.
