The 883rd longest river in the world

km

The Fushui River is a river flowing through Tongshan and Yangxin Counties in the south-eastern part of Hubei province, China.

The river is 196 kilometres (122 mi) long. It originates in the Mufu Mountains, flows in the general eastern direction, and discharges into the Yangtze River near Fuchi Town, Yangxin County (29°51′38″N 115°26′28″E).

There are a number of dams on the river and its tributaries. The most major or them, the Fushui Dam (29°41′26″N 114°53′17″E) is located in Yangxin County just east of the Tongshan County's county line. The dam creates a fairly large Fushui Reservoir. 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); 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.
