Centennial Hydraulic Project: South-North Water Diversion

China can be divided into two zones in terms of water resources, with South China having abundant water and North China suffering from water shortages. The South–North Water Diversion Project was launched in 2002 to alleviate the water shortages faced in northern China by diverting water from the Yangtze River in southern China. The South–North Water Diversion Project is the largest and most complicated water control project in Chinese history. Richly illustrated with captivating photographs and diagrams, this book documents the South–North Water Diversion Project in detail, covering its planning, implementation, innovations, and more.
