Over 320,000 people in Henan and Hubei Provinces will have to relocate for the project. The South-to-North Water Diversion Project consists of three routes: namely the eastern, middle and western routes. It will mainly divert water from China’s water rich southern part ( mainly from the Yangtze River ) to the dry north.
