Water project gets under way
Print Edition
A LARGE water diversion project broke ground on Thursday in central China's Hubei Province, which will benefit nearly 5 million people after completion.
The 270 kilometer pipeline will divert 1.4 billion cubic meters of water each year from Danjiangkou Reservoir to the cities of Xiangyang, Suizhou and Xiaogan in north Hubei.
The 18 billion yuan (US$2.8 billion) project will take three years and nine months to complete.
It will benefit 4.8 million people and irrigate 310,000 hectares of land, the Hubei Provincial Water Resources Department said.
It will also “guarantee an urban water supply, ensure grain production and improve the environment,” said Water Resources Minister Chen Lei.
Danjiangkou Reservoir is also part of the middle section of the south-to-north water diversion project.
