China's Central Line Diverts 80 Billion Cubic Meters
The Central Line of China's South-to-North Water Diversion Project, which is the largest in the world, has transported over 80 billion cubic meters of water to date, benefiting approximately 118 million people across 27 cities. The project's goal is to transfer water from the water-rich southern regions to the arid northern areas. It has contributed to balancing water resources, securing drinking water supplies, and improving aquatic ecosystems. Additionally, the ongoing operation over the past approximately 12 years has strengthened water security, especially in Beijing, which relies on transferred water for about 80% of its urban supply, while maintaining water quality and enhancing rivers and ecological systems in the northern regions.
