Four hundred thousand citizens will be relocated and will be replaced by newly-purchased what used to be heavy equipment for sale when the South-to-North Water Transfer Project begins for the very thirsty northern China.
Northern China's economic development is booming, but water supplies are flowing short. Desperate farmers have dug wells as deep as 600 feet to find water, but the Chinese government, with an unimplemented proposal from Mao himself, has much more digging in mind. The Chinese government is going to divert water from the Yangtze River, a southern river known for its strong rising tides, to the dry rivers of the northern China plains.
When completed, 12 trillion gallons of water will flow northward yearly through three man-made channels whose combined construction is expected to displace almost 400,000 people. The project has a $62 billion price tag making this project the most expensive construction project in China, ever. But having finished the Three Gorges Dam — a $25 billion project that has forced the relocation of more than 1 million people — China is no stranger to pricy megaprojects.
