The upstream river flow is maintained at 2000 3000 cubic meters per second, the midstream river flow is maintained at 2500 3500 cubic meters per second, and the downstream river flow is maintained at 3000 cubic meters per second.

It funds the upstream research that generates discovery and invention supports the creation of new networks, from canals to the Internet and serves as a creative customer for innovative products, as it did during the computer revolution s nascence.
