What water is introduced into the Yellow River by the South-to-North Water Transfer Project?

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 Jiuquan Town, Xichuan County, Henan Province, on the east bank of Danjiangkou Reservoir.

Crossing the watershed between the Yangtze River Basin and Huaihe River Basin-Fangcheng, crossing the Jianghuai watershed, digging ditches along the central and western edges of the North China Plain, crossing the Yellow River in Xingyang, going north along the west side of the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, and flowing to Tuancheng Lake in the Summer Palace in Beijing.

Divided into east, middle and west lines. The starting point of the East Line Project is Jiangdu Water Control Project in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, and the starting point of the Middle Line Project is Danjiangkou Reservoir in the middle and upper reaches of the Han River. The water supply areas are Henan, Hebei, Beijing and Tianjin.

Extended data:

From 2065438 to September 2002, the relocation of migrants in Danjiangkou reservoir area of the Middle Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project was fully completed. The South-to-North Water Transfer Project mainly solves the problem of water shortage in northern China, especially in the Huang-Huai-Hai River Basin, with a population of 438 million.

Through the connection of three water transfer lines with the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the Huaihe River and the Haihe River, the overall layout with "four horizontals and three verticals" as the main body is formed, which is conducive to realizing the rational allocation pattern of water resources in China.

The Middle Route Project of South-to-North Water Transfer and the East Route Project of South-to-North Water Transfer (Phase I) have been completed, and water has been transferred to the northern region. The west line project is still in the planning stage, and construction has not started.
