VII. World's largest scale of pump station cluster – the Pump Station Cluster Project of the Eastern Route
The first phase of the project's eastern route's mainline totals 1,467 kilometers. Thirteen cascade pump stations, 22 pivots and 34 pump stations are established along the route, with the total hydraulic head of 65 meters. The stations are equipped with 160 hydroelectric generators, with the overall installed capacity of 366.2 kilowatts and the total design flow of 4,447.6 cubic meters per second. After completion, the highly concentrated pump station cluster will reach international advanced level in pump manufacturing, and in other aspects.
