With total investments of 51.6 billion yuan (about $7.2 billion), the Hanjiang-to-Weihe River water diversion project started construction in 2011 to bring water from Hanjiang in water-rich southern Shaanxi northward to Weihe, which traverses the more thirsty central parts of the province. It is one of the most challenging engineering projects in China, as it requires constructing 98.3-kilometer tunnels underneath the Qinling Mountains, a natural boundary between China's north and south. So far, the project has completed the first phase to link the two rivers through tunnels. The second and third phases, which will transfer water to other places in central Shaanxi, are still under construction. Let's find out how China is achieving the project.
