This year marks the 10th anniversary of the full water supply from the first phase of China’s South-North Water Diversion Project, the world’s largest inter-basin water transfer.
The ambitious project has revitalized arid lands across northern provinces and cities, bringing fresh water to regions that once struggled with scarcity.
Our reporters journeyed from Beijing to the project’s southern source, tracing the path the water takes as it travels northward. The trek revealed not just the distance covered but the profound impact on communities along the way.
New lifestyles have emerged along the route. Farmers embrace enhanced irrigation, cities enjoy cleaner water, and local economies flourish with newfound opportunities.
This magnificent project showcases China’s dedication to innovation and its commitment to improving lives, illustrating the power of engineering to reshape the future.
