It is called Jianghu in the middle, Yutou Lake in the northwest, Niantou Lake in the northeast and Roman Lake in the south. Rivers entering the lake are concentrated in the northwest, mainly Yishui. After the Yellow River invaded Si and captured Huai River, the riverbed of Sishui gradually silted up. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, Yishui, which had originally entered Surabaya, was seriously blocked and forced to stay here, forming four small lakes together, collectively known as Roman Lake.
Before the Qing Dynasty, the west branch of Shushui once entered the Roman Lake. Surabaya formed Nansi Lake in the north of Xuzhou, and the flood also poured into Rome Lake, which gradually expanded the waters of Rome Lake and became a big lake with a length of 35 kilometers from north to south and a width of 15 to 20 kilometers from east to west. From the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Lake Rome was still a flood detention lake.
* * * After the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), Rome Lake was built as a temporary reservoir to store water during the flood season, and wheat was planted after the flood season. 1958 1 The People's Government of Jiangsu Province decided to change the Roman Lake into a perennial storage reservoir with the approval of the Ministry of Water Resources, so as to make profits after flood season.
From then on, Rome Lakebo took this opportunity to write a new chapter. It has become the main barrier to defend against the floods in Iraq and Sihong, and to ensure the safety of life and property of millions of people downstream, and it has also become the main resource treasure for the development of the national economy in this place.
