THE resettlement of more than 64,900 residents began yesterday in central China's Henan Province to make way for a massive project that will divert water to arid north China.
The resettlement was expected to take three months, said Wang Shushan, head of Henan's south-north water diversion office.
The residents of 57 villages of Xichuan County were moving to more than 14,000 new homes in 70 sites in Henan.
In general, the migrants were satisfied with the resettlement sites and eager to move so as to get accustomed to the new environment as soon as possible, Wang said.
Another 86,100 people are to be resettled in a second move by 2011.
In a trial resettlement, almost 11,100 people moved to new homes in 2009.
A total of 162,000 people are to be resettled in Henan. The project will divert water from the Yangtze River.
