In the catastrophe caused by the earthquake in the south of Kangding (June 1, 1786), a dam broke on June 10, 1786 by a landslide that had dammed the river. About 50 million cubic meters of water made its way through the landscape and devastated the land over a length of 1,400 kilometers. About 100,000 people died.
The Dagangshan hydropower plant ( 大 岗 山 水电站 ) will have a total capacity of around 2,600 megawatts after its completion in 2014.
