YuanShanTze flood Diversion Project
The YuanShanTze Diversion Project drastically reduced floods in Xinzhi, which has suffered from regular water inundation from 1999 to 2005. Since its completion, the project has diverted water 44 times, with volumes reaching up to 200 millions m³. It has also reduced downstream flood hazard for 13 years, allowing savings of up to US$ 1.6 billion.
