More than 70% of the water supply in Beijing urban area is diverted from the south to the north, almost all the water supply in the main urban area of Tianjin is "south water", and more than 10 cities in Henan use "south water"... On the 12th, the first phase of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project on the East Central Line ushered in its 7th birthday. In the seven years since the project was fully connected to the water, the cumulative water diversion was about 49.4 billion cubic meters. According to the estimation of the average natural runoff of the Yellow River for many years, the South-to-North Water Diversion Project is almost equivalent to transferring a Yellow River to the north.
