Century Project - The middle route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project will be continuously sent north from the Danjiangkou Reservoir and a flood of clean water. So, why does the naturally flowing middle line of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project form a "Z" bend in Jiaozuo City, Henan Province, passing through the city as a detour? On the 29th, a reporter from Chinanews.com walked into the main canal of the Jiaozuo section of the middle line of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project with the interview group of the "Miracle China Tianhe Building Dreams" - the online theme propaganda activity of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and learned that the Danjiangkou Dam, which was originally the water source of the middle line of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, was raised by 14.6 The height difference of the whole line of the middle line project is controlled at 98.8 meters, realizing the whole process of artesian flow. Jiaozuo is located in the west and east, and the north is high and the south is low. Turn the corner north. Wang Dong, chairman of Jiaozuo South-to-North Water Diversion Construction and Development Co., Ltd., introduced to a reporter from Chinanews.com that although the main canal in the central urban area of ​​Jiaozuo is short, only 8.82 kilometers, the planning and selection of this route has taken a lot of troubles. Because Jiaozuo City is located at the southern foot of Taihang Mountain, it is built on the mountain, and the height difference between south and north is nearly 100 meters. If the South-to-North Water Diversion project passes around the city, it needs to be dug more than 100 meters deep. According to the needs of the project construction, the land area occupied will be nearly doubled. , construction cost. Therefore, the channel through the central city of Jiaozuo is the most scientific choice. In addition, the main trunk canal passes through the city, which is of great significance to Jiaozuo City, which is helpful for the transformation of villages in the city, and provides a more comfortable living environment for the masses through the construction of resettlement communities.
