		The bed of the outer river is convex while that of the inner river is concave.
		Li Bing and his people cleverly used the fact that the waters flow at different speeds at the river turn, with the outer ring moving slowly and thus carrying most of the slit, which is then filtered at the dike and goes back into the outer Min River (which eventually merges into the Yangtze River).
		The dike also adjusts the capacity of the inner river for irrigation such that it carries 40% of the water capacity in the entire Min River in a flood season while 60% of the capacity in a drought season.
