Through the lands of China, a 1,432-kilometer-long "artificial river" guides a stream of clear water to the north. This is the South-to-North Water Diversion (Middle Route) Project, stretching from the Danjiangkou Reservoir in the Hanjiang River, a tributary of the Yangtze River, to the nation's capital Beijing. It helps supply water to 24 major cities and over 200 counties and districts, directly benefiting 85 million residents along the route. The grand project was proposed in the 1950s. After half a century of planning, 12 years of construction, and over eight years of operation, hundreds of millions of people are experiencing the benefits.
