Why China’s Spending $70bn to Move Water 2,700 Miles
China is in the process of creating possibly the biggest infrastructure project ever attempted. The South to North Water Transfer Project is designed to move water from rivers in the wet south of the country, to dry, densely populated areas in the north.
