Dams
There are a number of dams on the river and its tributaries. The most major or them, the Fushui Dam (富水大坝; 29°41′26″N 114°53′17″E / 29.69056°N 114.88806°E) is located in Yangxin County just east of the Tongshan County's county line. The dam creates a fairly large Fushui Reservoir (富水水库).
The Xianning Nuclear Power Plant is under construction in Dafan Town, Tongshan County, on the northern shore of the Fushui Reservoir (29°40′20″N 114°41′05″E / 29.67222°N 114.68472°E); it is expected to use the reservoir's water for cooling and various ancillary purposes.
China National Highway 316 runs alongside the river for parts of its length.
