The Dujiangyan Irrigation System is an ancient water management infrastructure located in Sichuan, China. Built over 2,000 years ago, it is still in use today and is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The system was designed to prevent flooding and to irrigate the Chengdu Plain, which is one of the most fertile regions in China. The main feature of the system is the Dujiangyan Dam, which diverts water from the Minjiang River into an elaborate network of canals, tunnels, and channels. The system has been so effective that it has allowed the Chengdu Plain to support a population of over 50 million people.
