It makes a westward turn near Pingdingbao Town, <a href="/wiki/Tieling_County" title="Tieling County">Tieling County</a>, and after receiving more tributaries, earns an infrequently used nickname <b>Juliu River</b> (巨流河, "giant stream river"). The Liao River will then course southwest until it reaches near the Liujianfang Hydrological Station (六间房水文站) at <a href="/wiki/Tai%27an_County" title="Tai'an County">Tai'an County</a>, and historically <a href="/wiki/River_bifurcation" title="River bifurcation">bifurcates</a> into two <a href="/wiki/Distributaries" class="mw-redirect" title="Distributaries">distributaries</a>, forming the <b>Liao River Delta</b> (辽河三角洲). The western distributary of the <a href="/wiki/River_delta" title="River delta">delta</a>, originally smaller, was called the <b>Shuangtaizi River</b> (双台子河) until 2011, receives the tributary Raoyang River at <a href="/wiki/Panjin" title="Panjin">Panjin</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Panshan_County" title="Panshan County">Panshan County</a> before draining into the <a href="/wiki/Liaodong_Bay" title="Liaodong Bay">Liaodong Bay</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Bohai_Sea" title="Bohai Sea">Bohai Sea</a> west of <a href="/wiki/Dawa_County" class="mw-redirect" title="Dawa County">Dawa County</a>. The eastern distributary, originally the larger and the main body of lower Liao River, was called the <b>Wailiao River</b> (外辽河, "Outer Liao River"). The Wailiao River travelled southwards to pick up two large tributaries, the <b><a href="/wiki/Hun_River_(Liao_River_tributary)" title="Hun River (Liao River tributary)">Hun River</a></b> and <b><a href="/wiki/Taizi_River" title="Taizi River">Taizi River</a></b>, at a <a href="/wiki/Confluence" title="Confluence">confluence</a> locally referred as the "<b>Trident River</b>" (三岔河), where it then adopted the new name <b><a href="/wiki/Daliao_River" title="Daliao River">Daliao River</a></b> (大辽河, "Great Liao River") and drained into the Liaodong Bay just west of <a href="/wiki/Yingkou" title="Yingkou">Yingkou</a>. </p><p>However, the Liao River Delta has a flat topography made up of soft sediment soil, with <a href="/wiki/Meander" title="Meander">meandrous</a> waterways that had a rich history of <a href="/wiki/Stream_capture" title="Stream capture">rerouting</a>. This coupled with the risk of <a href="/wiki/Storm_surge" title="Storm surge">storm surges</a> due to the region's low <a href="/wiki/Elevation" title="Elevation">elevation</a>, created a huge problem in <a href="/wiki/Flood_control" class="mw-redirect" title="Flood control">flood control</a>. This flood risk at the coastal section of the Liao River system was particularly threatening to Yingkou, a city immediately adjacent to the <a href="/wiki/River_mouth" title="River mouth">mouth</a> of Daliao River and home to 2 million people. In 1958, the upriver of the Wailiao River at Liujianfang was blocked off via a <a href="/wiki/River_engineering" title="River engineering">river engineering</a> project, redirecting the water flow from the Liao River <i>proper</i> entirely towards the Shuangtaizi River (which was renamed to simply the "Liao River" in 2011), effectively separating the <a href="/wiki/Hun_River_(Liao_River_tributary)" title="Hun River (Liao River tributary)">Hun River</a> and <a href="/wiki/Taizi_River" title="Taizi River">Taizi River</a> from the Liao River system. Therefore, the Daliao River system is considered an independent water system of their own since 1958, and the Hun and Taizi River are no longer tributaries of the Liao River. Also, due to the Wailiao River's upstream flow being cut off, the Liao River no longer has any distributaries, therefore the Liao River Delta technically also ceased to exist from 1958 onwards, however the term remains in use to describe the area of <a href="/wiki/Panjin" title="Panjin">Panjin</a> between the Liao River's left bank and Wailiao/Daliao River's right bank. </p> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(2)"><span class="indicator mf-icon mf-icon-expand mf-icon--small"></span><h2 id="Tributaries">Tributaries</h2><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Liao_River&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Tributaries" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div><section class="mf-section-2 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-2"> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Major_tributaries">Major tributaries</h3><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Liao_River&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Major tributaries" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div> <ul><li><b><a href="/wiki/Xiliao_River" title="Xiliao River">Xiliao River</a></b> (<span title="Chinese-language text"><span lang="zh">西辽河</span></span>, "Western Liao River"), historically also known as <b>Huang River</b> (潢水), is the largest tributary of Liao River, running 449 kilometres (279 mi) and draining a basin of 136,000 square kilometres (53,000 sq mi).
