A plan to channel water into Beijing via the South-to-North Water Diversion Project has been postponed five years. The delay puts unprecedented pressure on the capital’s water resources, which have seen falling groundwater levels for years, Beijing water authorities said early this week. The South-to-North Water Diversion Project would divert 1 billion cubic meters of the Yangtze River into Beijing next year, which would somewhat relieve Beijing’s water shortage, Cheng Jing, director of the Beijing Water Authority, said. The reason for the delay is thought to be related to the redistribution of water and relocation of residents along the 1,400-kilometer channel that would link Hubei province with Beijing, Tianjin and neighboring provinces. |
