Answer ANY TWO out of three questions

Overview The South-to-North Water Diversion Project in China is the largest of its kind ever undertaken. The project involves drawing water from southern rivers and supplying it to the dry north.

This massive scheme has already taken 50 years from conception to commencement and is expected to take almost as long to construct. Planned for completion in 2050, it will eventually divert 44.8 billion cubic metres of water annually to the population centres of the drier north.

When finished, the work will link Chinas four main rivers the Yangtze, Yellow River, Huaihe and Haihe and requires the construction of three diversion routes, stretching south-to-north across the eastern, central and western parts of the country.

The complete project is expected to cost $62bn more than twice as much as the countrys controversial Three Gorges Dam.
