Research and practice on engineering geology of large reservoirs in karst blind valley area

Abstract

The karst blind valley area is one of the natural resources for building large reservoirs, which can realize power generation, irrigation, and water transfer from south to north or east to west. It has extremely important practical significance for the development of industry and agriculture. However, the construction of reservoirs in karst blind valley area, especially large reservoirs, has very complicated engineering geological conditions and hydrogeological conditions, and the construction is difficult and the project cost is also large. This paper takes Wulichong Reservoir as an example to demonstrate and recommend the construction scheme of reservoir, and the success of using curtain anti-seepage treatment scheme to build reservoir has certain practical, guiding and practical significance in exploring the construction of large reservoirs in karst blind valley area.
