The Danjiangkou Dam (Chinese: 丹江口大坝; pinyin: Dānjiāngkǒu Dàbà) is a concrete gravity dam on the Han river near Danjiangkou in Hubei Province, China. The original dam was constructed between 1958 and 1973. The dam creates a large Danjiangkou Reservoir.

In the 21st century, the Danjiangkou Dam became part of the South-North Water Transfer Project. In 2005-2009 its height was raised in order to increase the reservoir's capacity.

Danjiangkou dam at Danjiankou in China's central Hubei province. The height of the dam was raised to increase the size of the Danjiangkou reservoir, which will provide water from central regions of China to Beijing in one of the most ambitious engineering projects in Chinese history.

The Chinese government is building a $62 billion South-North Water Transfer Project. The project would divert 44.8 billion cubic meters of water per year from the Yangtze River in southern China to the Yellow River Basin in arid northern China. It will also displace hundreds of thousands of people. An estimated 330,000 people were recently being relocated for the expansion of the Danjiangkou reservoir, which marks the beginning of the project's middle route. Danjiangkou Dam 8

1959 Danjiangkou dam construction began to Han River closure (data photos). At 20:00 on October 20, 2014, Danjiangkou Reservoir water level reached 160.29 meters, more than 1983 the highest level of 160.07 meters in history, the South-to-North Water Diversion into the countdown. 'South water, the north less water, if possible, by the point of water is also possible?' In 1952, Mao Zedong put forward the idea of the South-North Water Diversion. After several years of exploration and demonstration, in 1958, Danjiangkou dam construction. 10 million migrant workers shoulder to carry, with the spirit of ants bite the bones of the completion of the excavation of the dam and the Han River closure project. In 1960, Danjiangkou dam entered the dam construction stage. Due to the rush and the pouring process and the quality of concrete and other issues, the construction process, the dam appeared quality problems. After the rectification and rectification of the dam, in 1964, the restoration of dam concrete pouring construction. The end of 1967, Danjiangkou dam a project finally under the gate water storage, and power generation. At this point, the dam height of 162 meters, storage capacity of 17.45 billion cubic meters. Following the construction of the Danjiangkou Dam, nearly half a century later, in 2005, Danjiangkou dam heightening project began to start, into the 'two' construction stage. May 27, 2013, Danjiangkou dam dam pouring the last warehouse concrete, thus, the dam heightening widening project completed across the board. August 29, 2013, the South-North Water Diversion Middle Route Danjiangkou Dam Heightening Project Acceptance Committee announced in the dam area, Danjiangkou dam heightening project through the acceptance of water, the official possession of water conditions. At this point, the dam heightened to 176.6 meters, storage capacity of 29.05 billion cubic meters. After two large-scale construction, the South-North Water Diversion Project will be in the year to the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei water, after half a century of the South-North Waterfall dream is about a dream round.
