Where is the main water source of the Middle Route Project of South-to-North Water Transfer?

The Middle Route Project of South-to-North Water Transfer is to divert water from Danjiangkou Reservoir in the middle and upper reaches of Hanjiang River, the largest tributary of the Yangtze River, and excavate the main canal at the head of the project in Jiuzhong Town, Xichuan County, Henan Province on the east bank of Danjiangkou Reservoir.

Crossing the watershed between the Yangtze River Basin and Huaihe River Basin to defend the city, excavating along the central and western edge of North China Plain, crossing the Yellow River through Xingyang Tunnel, going north along the west side of Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, and flowing into Tuancheng Lake and Beijing Summer Palace.

The Middle Route Project of South-to-North Water Transfer Project is a magnificent ecological project and livelihood project. The water-receiving area lacks more than 6 billion cubic meters of water every year, and the economic and social development has to be maintained by a large number of over-exploited groundwater, resulting in a large-scale and substantial decline of groundwater, and even the aquifers in some areas have been exhausted.

After the implementation of the Middle Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project, the annual water transfer will be 9.5 billion cubic meters in the initial stage, and the scale of water transfer will be further expanded as needed in the later stage, which will effectively solve the water shortage problem in the receiving area and significantly improve the ecological environment.
