Construction of Wangkuai Reservoir was started in June 1958[8] and was basically completed in July 1960.[9] The continuation project of the reservoir was carried out in 1969,[10] and was completed in 1974. Its de-risking and strengthening project started in 2002 with a three-year construction period.[11]

In 2008, the connection project between Xidayang Reservoir and Wangkuai Reservoir was started,[12] and in 2012, the connection project was completed.[13]
