Leaders praise progress of water diversion project
Print Edition
Top leaders yesterday hailed major progress in the south-to-north water diversion project and called for further efforts to ensure its success.
The project, one of the country’s largest infrastructure schemes, is designed to take water from the south to drought-prone areas in the north, including Beijing. Water will flow northward via eastern, middle and western routes.
The first-stage of the eastern route, with an investment of over 50 billion yuan (US$8.2 billion), recently started supplying water to the provinces of Jiangsu, Anhui and Shandong.
President Xi Jinping said: “We should strengthen management and keep working to ensure steady progress.”
Premier Li Keqiang and vice premier Zhang Gaoli, who is also head of the project’s construction committee, stressed the importance of future work. Water quality, protecting the environment and safety were all important, he said.
Major work on first-phase construction of the middle route is expected to be completed this year.
