Beijing, China – Over the past decade, China's ambitious South-to-North Water Diversion Project has directly benefited more than 185 million people, according to authorities on Thursday.
By channeling water from the abundant resources in the southern regions to the arid north, the project has addressed critical water shortages in major cities and rural areas alike.
"This massive undertaking has not only alleviated drought conditions but also improved the quality of life for millions," officials stated.
Launched to balance the uneven distribution of water resources across the country, the project has become a lifeline for the drought-prone northern regions, supporting domestic needs, agriculture, and industry.
Residents in the north have experienced increased access to clean water, leading to healthier communities and enhanced economic opportunities.
The success of the water diversion effort stands as a testament to China's commitment to sustainable development and innovative solutions to environmental challenges.
