Aerial views of civil structures of South-North Water Transfer Project (南水北调工程) central route at Fangcheng County, Henan, People's Republic of China.

The South–North Water Transfer Project is a infrastructure mega-project in the People's Republic of China. It aims to channel fresh water from the Yangtze River in southern China to the more arid and industrialized north through three canal systems. The central, or middle, route runs from Danjiangkou Reservoir on the Han river, a tributary of the Yangtze River, to Beijing. The canal was constructed so that gravity is the force pushing the flow of the water all the way from the Danjiangkou Reservoir to Beijing, without the need for pumping stations.
