Honoring the ‘Well-diggers’ of the Chinese mainland’s South-to-North Water Diversion Project

In December 2014, the first phase of the middle route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project began operation. This ambitious initiative, comprising three routes, aims to transfer much-needed water to the relatively dry northern regions of the Chinese mainland.

Chinese premier Xi Jinping has shown a keen interest in the project. During a visit in May 2021 to a community that was resettled to make way for the project, Xi described the community members as the \"well-diggers\" whose contribution should never be forgotten.
