Lake Hongze has quadrupled in size since the 12th century.[citation needed] A particularly large change happened in 1680, when the Yellow River changed its course and merged with tributaries of the Huai River. Heavy sediment from the Yellow River blocked the downstream of Huai River, and the pooling of the added water created Hongze Lake as it is known today. The city of Sizhou was completely submerged, as was the nearby Ming Ancestors Mausoleum (which was only rediscovered in the 1960s).[1]

The North Jiangsu Main Irrigation Canal originates at Hongze Lake and passes through Jiangsu Province.
