Has the Liaocheng section of the second phase of the East Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project started?

The East Route Project of South-to-North Water Diversion is a national strategic east route project, which refers to a national inter-provincial regional project that lifts water from Jiangdu Water Control Project in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province and transports production and domestic water to North China through Jiangsu, Shandong and Hebei provinces. The East Line Project plans to take water from the main stream of the Yangtze River near Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, and use the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and its parallel rivers to deliver water, connecting Hongze Lake, Roman Lake, Nansi Lake and Dongping Lake, and serve as a water storage reservoir. After pumping water into Dongping Lake step by step, it will be divided into two ways. After crossing the Yellow River, The Journey to the West flows into Tianjin, and the main water conveyance line from the Yangtze River to Tianjin Beidagang Reservoir is about 1 156 km long. The other road connects the Yellow River-Jinan-Qingdao channel eastward through the newly-built water conveyance trunk line in Jiaodong area, and supplies water to Jiaodong area.
