Thirst in north eased by Yangtze
Print Edition
WATER diverted from the Yangtze River in southern China has helped ease thirst in northern China for more than 80 million people, a senior official said yesterday.
Water transported northwards from the Yangtze in the South-to-North Water Diversion Project has enabled 87 million people in Beijing, Tianjin and 33 cities in provinces including Hebei, Henan, Shandong and Jiangsu to get access to “southern water, said E Jingping, director of the Office of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project Commission of the State Council.
Yesterday marked the second anniversary of the start of water diversion through the middle route of the project, although the eastern route was put into use more than three years ago.
The water diversion project is designed to take water from the Yangtze, through eastern, middle and western canals to the north.
