The Zhelin Reservoir (Chinese: 柘林湖; pinyin: Zhèlín Hú, Gan: Chā-līm fîkhú),[1] also named Mount Lu West Sea (Chinese: 庐山西海), is a reservoir located in the counties of Yongxiu, Wuning, and Xiushui in Jiujiang, China. It is 90 kilometers to the south of Mount Lu, with a total area of 308 square kilometers. The reservoir is the largest in Jiangxi province, with a storage capacity of 7,920,000,000 cubic metres.[2]
Although the dam is located in an area of low seismic activity, after the impounding of the Zhelin Reservoir, seismic activity increased markedly.[3]
Zhelin Reservoir is named after Zhelin Town, the site of the largest hydropower earth dam blocking project in Asia.[4] It has an average water depth of 45 meters and a visibility of more than 9 meters, rich in wild fish species, like Culter alburnus , Red-tailed Xenocypris , Xenocypris davidi , and Siniperca chuatsi .[5]
The American reality program Survivor filmed its fifteenth season, Survivor: China , on islands in the reservoir in June–August 2007. Survivor host Jeff Probst claimed that this was the first American television series to be filmed entirely within China.
