The South–North Water Transfer Project, also translated as the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, [1] is a multi-decade infrastructure mega-project in China that aims to channel 44.8 cubic kilometers (44.8 billion cubic meters) of fresh water each year [2] from the Yangtze River in southern China to the more arid and industrialized north through three canal systems: [3]
The first seawater desalination plant in the Tianjin area began to produce freshwater in 2010. The plant, the Beijiang Power and Desalination Plant, is a huge 4,000 MW modern coal-fired power plant coupled with a desalination plant powered by steam from the power plant using multi-effect distillation (MED) technology. The initial capacity of ...
China operates the Beijing Desalination Plant in Tianjin, a combination desalination and coal-fired power plant designed to alleviate Tianjin's critical water shortage. Though the facility has the capacity to produce 200,000 cubic metres (7,100,000 cu ft) of potable water per day, it has never operated at more than one-quarter capacity due to ...
China is working to meet the country's growing demand for fresh water by building and improving desalination plants. In doing so the nation is on a path to growing the next big industry, and ...
In 2007, there are over 50 water projects and well over 100 wastewater projects in China with private sector participation. [32] The French firm Veolia alone has contracts that involve a total population of over 43 million inhabitants of whom over 27 million are served through full service concessions, among which the concession in Shenzhen is ...
The Kinmen County Government considered seawater desalination as one of several options. However, the cost of desalination was too much for the county government to bear. Therefore, purchasing water from mainland China was the most feasible solution. [1]
Estimates put construction of a plant generating 30 million gallons of water per day at about $541.5 million, with a total cost of $757.5 million.
Proponents of the project have said desalination is the most cost-effective solution to address current and future water supply needs in a growing residential and commercial community within a ...
