- The plan called for the construction of detention reservoirs (some with power-generating capacity) on the upstream tributaries, the dredging of the main channel and strengthening of dikes, flood-diversion dams and reservoirs in mid-course, and the digging of a new outlet to the Yellow Sea from Hungtse Lake, in the lower reaches of the Hwai Ho. The outlet, known as the North Kiangsu Canal, was inaugurated in 1952. Of twenty-seven planned detention reservoirs, about ten have been completed. To relieve the load on the Hwai Ho during the flood stage, a parallel outlet channel, the New Pien Canal, was dug in the late 1960’s to collect part of the discharge of left tributaries and divert it into Hungtse Lake.
