Author: Zhang Yan, on November 15, 2013, the first phase of the East Line of the South to North Water Diversion Project was officially put into operation. Over the past decade, the first phase of the East Line of the South to North Water Diversion Project has pumped over 40 billion cubic meters of Yangtze River water, effectively alleviating the water shortage problem in northern Jiangsu, northern Shandong, and Jiaodong Peninsula, benefiting over 68 million people. Since the middle route of the South to North Water Diversion Project was fully opened to water on December 12, 2014, the cumulative water diversion volume has exceeded 60 billion cubic meters, and the direct beneficiary population of the four provinces and cities of Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, and Henan has exceeded 108 million people. Water is the foundation of survival and the source of civilization. The basic water regime in China has been characterized by summer floods and winter droughts, as well as a shortage in the north and abundant in the south for thousands of years. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has coordinated and promoted the prevention and control of water disasters, water resource conservation, water ecological protection and restoration, and water environment governance. A number of major water diversion projects across river basins have been completed, with the South to North Water Diversion being one of the backbone projects. Entering a new stage of development, implementing new development concepts, constructing a new development pattern, forming a unified national market and a smooth domestic circulation, and promoting coordinated development between the north and south, requires strong support from water resources. Experience the advantages of a major country in the South to North Water Diversion Project. The pattern of water resources affects the development pattern, as evidenced by the fact that every ancient civilization originated from great rivers. The South to North Water Diversion not only transports the source of life for various regions along the route, but also lays an ecological foundation for national development. The completion of the South to North Water Diversion Project, a major project that changes the water system of a large country, not only requires solving a series of global water conservancy problems, but also requires strong national support. Adhering to the principle of national unity, with local areas subordinate to the whole country and local areas subordinate to the central government, optimizing the allocation of resources from the central level, and promoting unified efforts from the central level, we can concentrate on ensuring the construction elements such as funds and land, and achieve continuous progress of the project. The establishment of the concepts of water saving before base note, pollution control before water supply, environmental protection before water use, as well as precise and precise water transfer, the refinement of water allocation plans, and the strengthening of precise scheduling from water sources to users also ensure the high-quality completion of the project. Experience the power of technology in the South to North Water Diversion Project. The eastern route of the South to North Water Diversion Project has a total lift of 65 meters, equivalent to a height of more than ten floors. To help the water flow up the stairs, we rely on a 13 stage pumping station, with each stage lifting water northward. In the South to North Water Diversion Project, we have created many "world first" and "China first" projects: the world's largest pumping station group, the world's largest U-shaped water conveyance aqueduct project, the largest diameter water conveyance tunnel crossing large rivers in China, the largest dam heightening project in China... Behind each "first" is the research and development of scientific research and technology teams day and day, and the support of technology from major countries. According to the Overall Plan of the South to North Water Diversion Project, the future of China will be based on the abundant water sources of the Yangtze River. The east, middle, and west lines of the South to North Water Diversion Project will be connected by the four major rivers of the Yangtze River, Huai River, Yellow River, and Hai River, forming the backbone of the national water network with "four horizontal and three vertical" as the main body. A large network that promotes coordinated development and provides strong water safety guarantees for the comprehensive construction of a socialist modern country will also be launched. （
