Guanting Reservoir (Chinese: 官厅水库) is the first large-scale reservoir[1] after the founding of the People's Republic of China.[2] It is located at the junction of Beijing and Hebei Province,[3] mostly in Huailai County, Hebei Province, and a small part in Yanqing County, Beijing.[4] The reservoir is named after the dam was built near Guanting Town.
Guanting Reservoir started construction in October 1951[5] and was completed on 13 May 1954,[6] with the main flow of water being the Yongding River in Huailai. It covers an area of 230 square kilometers and has a total storage capacity of 2.2 billion cubic meters.[7]
The reservoir was a major source of fresh water for Beijing[8] and neighboring regions.[9] Due to water contamination, the reservoir was withdrawn from the system to supply Beijing with drinking water in 1997,[10] but after thorough treatment, the reservoir has been an alternate water source since 2007.[11]
