Tingxia Reservoir

Tingxia Reservoir is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Tingxia Reservoir rather than just read about it. In short: Tingxia Reservoir (simplified Chinese: 亭下水库; traditional Chinese: 亭下水庫; pinyin: Tíngxià shuǐkù), also known as Tingxia Lake, is a reservoir in Xikou Town, Fenghua District, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, China, located on the Shanjiang River, a tributary of Fenghua River. It is a large (2) scale water conservancy hub project mainly for flood control and irrigation, combined with power generation and water supply.

Key takeaways

Tingxia Reservoir belongs to engineering; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Tingxia Reservoir to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Tingxia Reservoir from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Tingxia Reservoir (simplified Chinese: 亭下水库; traditional Chinese: 亭下水庫; pinyin: Tíngxià shuǐkù), also known as Tingxia Lake, is a reservoir in Xikou Town, Fenghua District, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, China, located on the Shanjiang River, a tributary of Fenghua River. It is a large (2) scale water conservancy hub project mainly for flood control and irrigation, combined with power generation and water supply. The construction of Tingxia Reservoir started in 1978 and was completed in 1985, with a storage capacity of 153 million cubic meters. It is the largest reservoir in Ningbo. Ningbo's freshwater resources include the Yong River, Yao River, and Fenghua River, all of which contribute to the Tingxia Reservoir as well as other water supplies. It can provide an average of 126 million m3 of premium water to urban areas.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Tingxia Reservoir

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Tingxia Reservoir claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Tingxia Reservoir before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Tingxia Reservoir ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Tingxia Reservoir

In research: Tingxia Reservoir appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Tingxia Reservoir in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Tingxia Reservoir is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Buildings and structures completed in 1985, Buildings and structures in Zhejiang, Reservoirs in China, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Tingxia Reservoir outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
