The Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon, also known as the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, the Tsangpo Canyon, the Brahmaputra Canyon or the Tsangpo Gorge, is a canyon along the Yarlung Tsangpo River in Tibet Autonomous Region, China. It is the deepest canyon in the world, and at 504.6 kilometres (313.5 mi) is slightly longer than the Grand Canyon in the United States, making it one of the world's largest. The Yarlung Tsangpo originates near Mount Kailash and runs east for about 1,700 kilometres (1,100 mi), draining a northern section of the Himalayas before it enters the gorge just downstream of Pei, Tibet, near the settlement of Zhibe. The canyon has a length of about 240 kilometres (150 mi) as the gorge bends around Mount Namcha Barwa and cuts its way through the eastern Himalayas. Its waters drop from about 2,900 metres (9,500 ft) near Pei to about 1,500 metres (4,900 ft) at the end of the Upper Gorge where the Po Tsangpo River enters. The river continues through the Lower Gorge to the Indian border at an elevation of 660 metres (2,170 ft). The river then enters Arunachal Pradesh and eventually becomes the Brahmaputra.
The Lizhou Dam is a run-of-the-river hydroelectric arch dam on the Muli River in Muli Tibetan Autonomous County, Sichuan Province, China.
The Qiaoqi Dam is a rock-fill embankment dam on the Baoxinghe River in Baoxing County of Sichuan Province, China. The primary purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power generation. Construction on the project began in October 2002 and its 240 MW power station was commissioned in 2007. Water from the reservoir is diverted south to the power station via a 18.676 km (11.605 mi) long head-race tunnel and penstock. The power station is located on the north bank of the main stem Baoxing River. The drop in elevation between the reservoir and power station afford a hydraulic head of about 550 m (1,800 ft).
The Renzonghai Dam is a rock-fill embankment dam on the Tianwanhe River, a tributary of the Dadu River, in Kangding of Sichuan Province, China. The primary purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power generation and it supports three power stations downstream, the Renzonghai, Jinwo and Dafa Hydropower Stations. Water from the dam is sent via penstock first to the 246 MW Renzonghai then the 287.2 MW Jinwo and finally, the 246 MW Dafa Hydropower Station. The total installed capacity of the power stations is 779.2 MW Construction on the project began in August 2004 and the Jinwo power station was commissioned in 2007, the Dafa in 2008 and the Renzonghai in 2009. The Jinwo station contains the largest Pelton turbines in Asia, two at 146.3 MW each.
