Four Chinese sites added to UNESCO Irrigation list
Four Chinese sites related to historic irrigation systems have been added to the UNESCO World Heritage List of Great Historical Water Management Sites, bringing the total to 46 sites. These locations include an ancient canal irrigation system dating back over 2,200 years in Henan Province; an oasis irrigation system in the Khushi Passage in Gansu, used since the Ming Dynasty; a gravity-fed water flow irrigation system in Shangrao city, Jiangxi; and an ancient irrigation system in Changtai District, Fujian, over 800 years old. China has a long history of irrigation engineering, with old systems like the Dogjiangian system in Sichuan, listed in 2018, still in use today. These projects exemplify the historical and technological significance of water management practices in China.
