Largest canal of the world

The south to north water diversion project is the China's biggest ever canal project in which the companies are interested for capitalization.

Overseas companies of Japan, Germany and France have shown their willingness to invest in this project

Some electronic machinery and pump manufacturers in SHINGHAI, central China's HENAN province and North China's Inner Mongolia have contracted with the ministry to gain information about the project.

The canals are designed to take 38-48 billion cubic meters of water from Yangtze River annually. About 30-35 billion cubic meters will be available for industries, urban areas and for irrigation in North China upon completion of the canal.

This great project is expected to be launched the next year

This project demands huge amount of raw materials and equipments including steel, cement, metal pumps, pipe lines and machinery. Even the laid off workers will get the share. They are considered as the most important potential resource for the service companies as the canal would run through HENAN province and North China's HEBIE province where state owned enterprises have redundant staff.
