China is considering digging two mega canal systems to link the Yangtze River, which runs through central and eastern China, to the Pearl River in southern Guangdong and Guangxi provinces.
Xinhua reports that the Ministry of Transportation is now studying the feasibility of the project, which would include one canal from Hunan to Guangxi and another connecting Jiangxi and Guangdong.
The two canals, with their respective feeder lines along tributaries of the Yangtze and Pearl Rivers, are part of a new national plan on channel and port construction.
The Yangtze and the Pearl River are China’s longest and third longest rivers respectively. Their estuaries and deltas are home to China’s two major industrial powerhouses and mega-cities.
If given the go-ahead, construction of the two canals could be completed by 2035, they said.
Shipping, tourism, irrigation, water transfer and flood prevention were touted as major benefits from the project, which could dwarf the controversial Three Gorges Dam project on the Yangtze.
The Chinese government conducted a preliminary survey on routes to link the Yangtze and Pearl River as early as in 1960, but eventually dropped the plan due to financial and technical constraints.
The new canal project comes hot on the heels of the South-North Water Transfer Project. This is a decade-long infrastructure plan to channel 45 billion cubic meters of fresh water annually from the Yangtze to Beijing and other northern cities through three giant canal systems.
The eastern route utilizes the course of the Beijing–Hangzhou Grand Canal, while the central route starts from the upper reaches of the Han River, a tributary of the Yangtze, to Beijing and Tianjin, and the western route stretches from the alpine Qinghai to Shaanxi, Shanxi and Inner Mongolia.
Hi! I know this is somewhat off-topic however I needed to ask.
Does running a well-established blog like yours
take a massive amount work? I am completely new to writing a blog but I do write in my journal on a daily
basis. I’d like to start a blog so I can share my
personal experience and views online. Please let me know if you have any suggestions
or tips for brand new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!
Wonderful blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News.
Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News?
I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there!
Many thanks
You have made some good points there. I looked on the internet for more information about the issue and found most individuals
will go along with your views on this web site.
Very informative article post.Thanks Again. Really Cool.
I am curious to find out what blog system you happen to be working
with? I’m having some small security issues with my
latest website and I would like to find something
more safe. Do you have any suggestions?
What’s up friends, its wonderful article about cultureand
entirely explained, keep it up all the time.
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something which I think I would never understand.
It seems too complex and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your
next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
I read this paragraph fully regarding the resemblance of latest and earlier technologies, it’s remarkable article.
Como soy una ingenua y una boba volvi a insitir en el hecho de tener un sony vaio, en enero de 2011 comrpe otro portatil, a la hora de hacer el pedido insisti en la rotura anormal de la pantalla anterior la señorita del departamento de ventas, me dijo que eso no volveria pasar, ademas los ordenadores tiene garantia. Es una verguenza, es una verguenza, para determianr que le paso a un portatil se necesita como poco que un perito vea ese portatil fisicamente, a caso disponen de técnicos con poderes paranormales. Yo el problema lo tengo con un ereader 75 dias lleva en el servicio tecnico, a ver quien lo supera.
Esta tecnologÃa, también se aplica en la fabricación de piezas bajo plano, únicas ó en serie, en cualquier tipo de material plástico. De ahà viene la inclusión de sistemas operativos como el control numérico computarizado CN el cual programa las tareas demandadas a la máquina-herramienta.
“Very good blog post.Really thank you! Much obliged.”

that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the
nail upon the top as smartly as defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take
a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
