NANNING, Aug. 12, 2022 (Xinhua) -- Located in the city of Guiping of south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the Dateng Gorge water conservancy project under construction is designed for multiple purposes including flood control, navigation, power generation and irrigation.
The hydropower project is built on the area which is an important fish habitat due to its complex flow conditions. In order not to disturb fish from migrating to spawn, a rare dual fishway design for both the main dam and the auxiliary dam was put forward at the very beginning of the construction, looking nothing like an artificial passageway for migrating fishes.
Meanwhile, with the formation of a team of professional technicians, relevant rare fish conservation center and fish propagation stations have been accordingly built at the Dateng Gorge water conservancy project, so as to assist the monitoring, conservation and research of rare fish in the region.
