The project has a total installed capacity of 20,000 kilowatts,[6] and its main function is to irrigate more than 400,000 mu of farmland on both sides of the river, as well as flood control and power generation.[7]

The project was invested and constructed by the State Planning Commission and the Ministry of Water Resources, and was undertaken by the Third Corps of Armed Police Hydropower Troops (武警水电第三总队).[8] The total investment is ¥960 million.[9]
