The lake is connected on the northeast with the Grand Canal, while to the southeast lies another vast expanse of water, all of which are a standing menace to the country. en 1972 Theodore Shabad China's Changing Map https://archive.org/details/chinaschangingma0000unse/ New York w:Frederick A. Praeger 71-178868 482667885 18 https://archive.org/details/chinaschangingma0000unse/page/18/ 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. en 2015 Robert W.

It didn't take long for floodwaters pouring from the Huai and Sui rivers, and other smaller streams, to swamp the lake to overflowing. Translations Hongze Further reading Anagrams en eghnstu hungest
