Скачать или смотреть China’s $62 Billion South–North Water Transfer Project, World’s Largest Water Diversion Mega Project

China’s South–North Water Transfer Project is one of the largest and most ambitious water engineering projects in human history. Designed to solve the severe water crisis in northern China, this mega infrastructure initiative transfers water from the resource-rich Yangtze River basin in the south to dry and industrialized northern cities like Beijing and Tianjin.

Originally proposed by Mao Zedong in 1952 and officially approved in 2002, the project consists of three major routes—Eastern, Central, and Western. The Central Route alone stretches nearly 1,400 kilometers and now supplies a significant portion of Beijing’s water.

With an estimated cost exceeding $62 billion, this massive hydraulic engineering project addresses groundwater depletion, industrial water demand, urban expansion, and national water security. However, it also raises environmental, social, and geopolitical concerns.

In this video, we explore:
• Why northern China faces severe water scarcity
• The history behind the South–North Water Transfer Project
• How the three major routes work
• Environmental and social impacts
• Economic and national security significance
• Future plans toward 2050

This is not just an infrastructure project — it is a long-term national strategy shaping China’s economic and environmental future.

Watch now to understand how China is reshaping geography to secure its water future.
