Geography

The Xianshui River has three river sources, the Da-chu river (Chinese characters:达曲) and Nyi-chu river (Chinese characters:泥曲).[1] After the confluence of the two rivers in Luhuo, the name becomes the Xianshui River.

A dam and hydroelectric plant on it in Luhuo was completed in 2009.[2]
