Geography
The Xianshui River has three river sources, the Da-chu river (Chinese characters:达曲) and Nyi-chu river (Chinese characters:泥曲). 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.
The Xianshui River flows into the Yalong River at Yajiang. Via the Yalong River confluence, the Xianshui is a tributary of the Yangtze River (Chang Jiang).
