Phase I of the mega water diversion project from the Yangtze River, China's longest river, to the Huaihe River started trial operation. As the largest cross-basin water transfer project under construction in China, it is expected to become the second north-south water transport artery after the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
With a total area of 70,600 square kilometers and a total length of 723 km, the water diversion project is expected to benefit more than 50 million people.
