LUOYANG, CHINA - JUNE 29: Tourists watch and take photos of water and sediment regulation at Xiaolangdi Dam on the Yellow River on June 29, 2016 in Luoyang, Henan Province of China. The water and sediment regulation is to let sand, silt and other sediment rush with water out of the dam and flow into sea. The regulation can increase the dam's capacity of flood storage.

Foto spektakolare me dron janë kapur pas hapjes së portave të një dige në Xiaolangdi në provincën Henan në Kinë ku krijohet një valë gjigante, si pasojë e daljes së ujit me presion.

Kjo është një ngjarje që përsëritet çdo vit në këtë provincë, duke tërhequr edhe shumë turistë për të parë presionin e ujit, i cili lëshohet nga dy kanale të ngushtë.

Çdo vit në kaskadë janë kapur foto nga ky moment, por realizimet e këtij viti mund të cilësohen fantastike dhe mjaft të veçanta, duke qenë se janë kapur nga lartësitë me anë të një droni.

 

Spectacular images have emerged showing the water and sediment gushing from the Xiaolangdi Dam on the Yellow River in central China

 The Xiaolangdi Project was completed in 2000 at a cost of $3.5 billion and generates around five billion kWh of electricity a year

A series of images captured through a drone show the sheer force of the water being released from the channels 

A crowd gathers to watch as water is released from the floodgates. They are opened every year in an operation to flush millions of tonnes of silt from the river bed

The annual event on the Yellow River attracts thousands of tourists. The Yellow River is famously silty - hence its name

A bird's eye view of the plumes of water was made possible by a drone which revealed the huge scale of the event and the giant plumes of mud entering the river below the barrage

In an attempt to attract tourists, the nearby city of Luoyang puts on a 'wave festival' each year

This year the event will run for a week, with water released at set times each day and air-conditioned buses laid on for viewers
China has undertaken an unprecedented dam building spree in recent decades, including the Three Gorges Dam, the world's largest in terms of capacity

Only one of China's major waterways - the remote Nu River in Yunnan province - remains undammed

Critics say the facilities damage aquatic life and have required the relocation of hundreds of thousands of people with little compensation
