Guanting Reservoir (Chinese: 官厅水库^[1]), also known as Guanting Shuiku,^[2] is the first large-scale reservoir^[3] after the founding of the People's Republic of China.^[4]

Guanting Reservoir is located at the junction of Beijing and Hebei Province,^[5] mostly in Huailai County, Hebei Province, and a small part in Yanqing County, Beijing.^[6] The reservoir is named after the dam built near the Guanting Town (官厅镇).

History

Guanting Reservoir started construction in October 1951^[7] and was completed on 13 May 1954,^[8] with the main flow of water being the Yongding River in Huailai. The reservoir covers an area of 230 square kilometers and has a total storage capacity of 2.2 billion cubic meters.^[9]

Guanting Reservoir was a major source of fresh water for Beijing^[10] and neighboring regions.^[11] Due to water contamination, the reservoir was withdrawn from the system to supply Beijing with drinking water in 1997,^[12] but after thorough treatment, the reservoir has been an alternate water source since 2007.^[13]
