South-to-North Water Diversion Middle Route hits 80 billion cubic meters delivered

The South-to-North Water Diversion Middle Route has delivered over 80 billion cubic meters of water to northern China since it began operating, according to the China South-to-North Water Diversion Corporation. The project now supplies nearly 118 million people across Henan, Hebei, Tianjin, and Beijing. The report states the water has fundamentally reshaped the region's supply structure, with Beijing relying on it for nearly 80% of its urban water and Tianjin for almost all of its mains supply.
