- China's $62 BILLION Plan To Build World's Largest Network of Artificial Rivers
China is undertaking the construction of the world’s largest network of artificial rivers in a bold attempt to essentially defy nature. Spanning thousands of miles with a network of man-made canals, aqueducts, and tunnels that traverse actual mountains, China seeks to transport freshwater from the south to its arid industrial regions in the north. In this video, we will delve into the contentious South-to-North Water Diversion Project: its financial implications, the reasons behind it, its environmental impact, and how it might benefit-or fail to benefit-the Chinese population.

US spend 700 billion dollars in military every years. China spend less than 100 billion to water diversion, which one benefit the people, you chose?😊😊😊
Come on dude, either you’re lying or you just don’t do your research. China spends around $475 billion and the U.S. spends about $800 billion. When you factor in the cost of labor for China it’s probably closer to an equivalent amount around $600-$700 billion. So stop crowing and face the reality that China doesn’t give a twit about their population. Just this past week there was so much rain that the authorities opened the dam gates in the middle of the night, drowning thousands. They could have done it during the day after they warned the people but could have cared less. That’s how much they care about the people! Wake up!
I have no other choice but Biden or Trump, this is democracy.
True democracy requires many parties because more people appreciate the wishes of the people, not the wishes of a few groups.
And nothing to take care of homelessness.....

China is very creative in building MEGA projects, built in less time than any country around the world. How much water does floods create? Billions of barrels of water? Underwater Draining Systems in flooded areas could be re-directed towards artificial rivers or underground tunneling Systems! Tunnel Boring Machines can do the same as artificial rivers, less contaminates get into the water tunneling system, less evaporation, and keeps water cooler! Could be even drinkable if connected to filtering stations. Thinking about you China! Instead of building walls, we should be building more bridges! Be an example!
How about piping that water from them dams to the drought ridden north? China famously ignores actual drainage solutions which is why so many buildings flood all the time!
@@user-vh5di2gl9bSour grapes from you troll.
The leaders of China shows great appreciation for the peoples of China 🇨🇳! The best for the future is to be done now! Is the smarties of the Western country leaders shows their compassions and appreciations to their peoples that built their country now???
Intelligence can NEVER be artificial,
and canals is still canals.
Yes, a canal not a river.
There should be a balance between environmental benefits and human needs. The Northern part surely need the transfer of water to sustain the population while the environmental issues should also be looked into by the expert
scientists!
Best comment
I m Not an expert. The pros & cons must be weighted by the Chinese Scientists, etc etc learned people to the Govt . China had been progressing positively too rapidly .
Prove them wrong , HSR , Bridges & tunnels .
My suggestion is , if You cant do better than what China does, do not complaint or even criticise . U R not Qualified .
If you factor in drainage for a project you’ve already out done China! Their construction projects are pretty but tofu dreg! Inspections are a joke and are run by bribes and standards are ignored again because of bribes. Everything in China is junk!
Actually, any modern architect who includes appropriate drainage plan, correct concrete mix, etc etc etc…. Everything to real standards followed by proper building and real inspections is way out in front of Chinese projects. Or have you missed all the videos of Chinese tofu dreg construction?
@@user-vh5di2gl9b , You can keep on digging this imagination in your Indian mind. China will do what is good for its people.
@@user-ed9so2rb4k India is not capable of doing anything comparable. India is all talk and no action.
@@user-ed9so2rb4k so you refuse to get outside your comfort zone and actually do a little research? Or are you just a China shill who is determined to lie that a country can do no wrong? I mean, how hard is it to actually be just a little curious and go find the facts? Or can’t you get past China’s firewall?
What China does to it's waterways has nothing to do with the rest of the world?
It is within international agreement on rivers originating from within the country. Brahmaputra River will never be exhausted as rainfalls on the Southern side which is hard to retain.
It's primary goal is to provide the much needed water for the thirsty regions in NW China.
美国在墨西哥门口修水电站，问过墨西哥人的意见了？别驰名双标了。
Your statement is as naive as your background. Two superpowers are about to be sparked into war by the blockage of the sacred river.
Anywhere in the world, if there is a border dispute, it is usually the result of a line drawn by an Englishman; if it is an internal dispute, it is usually the US fueling it. Difference in implementation of divide and conquer strategy.
Does yindia own China? Nope, so you can shut up now hahahaha
Bravo China
Realy I like it they are powerful and intelligent
People’s livelihood (which is connected to economic development and sustainability) matters most in the minds of the Chinese leaders. ❤👏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Money very well spent,to benefit its citizens for consumptions and agricultures.
Artificial Rivers are called Canals.😅 Canals are awesome. 😍 I think what China should do is to make the country one big canal network so water can be diverted across the country to where it is needed the most 🥰
AWESOME!👍🇨🇳
What other choice is there? Something has to be done. Some have suggested investing into individualized large water wells. That is along with current river and water ways, having isolated and well placed large wells drilled, tapping into areas where a well would not effect the ground water level to a high degree and pump as needed. It would be cheaper but also is dependent on below ground water levels. Another is water piping from the Himalaya foot hilsl all the way south to Central and NW China areas. LIttle has been talked about concerning this but in theory, it would be faster and cheaper and in case of an earthquake, much easier to repair, cost effective.
Doing good keep up the good work thanks!!!!
Don’t be too pessimistic. There are many videos showing the transferring-south-water-to-the-north initiative 南水北调 has already started to yield good results!
The environmental costs are considerable. It would be a good idea to put together a council of people from all walks of life, experts from many different fields, and representatives from local and regional governments to explore the wisdom of the Western river diversion project vs. its proposed benefits. They could explore different scenarios of potential earthquakes, pollution of waterways, impact on wildlife, and so on. Just because China has the resources and it CAN carry out such a project, does not mean that it SHOULD.
All that water going north is going to speed up the earth's rotation.
Conservation of Angular Momentum.
But only by less than a Milli-Second a year...so don't panic.
Next, the west is going to blame climate change on this water diversion project.
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Environment is needed for normal life. Water diversion while important, just secondary to good environments. Therefore people can never neglect environmental protection. Environmental engineering either by nature or human are needed modifications for human survival and development sometimes.
It’s not usually a good idea to mess with nature.
Chinas' got plenty of water......😂
SOURCE OF MOST WATER IN CHINA IS THE GLACIERS IN TIBET. THAT IS WHY TIBET IS SO VITAL TO CHINA.
Respect the law of the other countryvabd their sovereignity

This is the best that China could have done for itself at this moment when the West is unnecessarily stuck in a conflict with Russia, otherwise if it were not for this war, the West would have done everything to prevent China from arranging its country according to its needs. We have all seen proof of this in Libya, where for no reason at all, one of the best projects in the world was destroyed, which aimed to improve living conditions in the harshest areas, if you just look at Libya you will see that it is an area the size of the EU, and that on the other hand, it is not the size of the EU. But, unfortunately, only 6 million people live on it, the whole project would have an extremely good impact on Europe itself, for several reasons, first of all, all the migrations that the EU people do not want would be redirected to Libya, which would solve the problem of migrants in Europe from Africa as well as from the Middle East, and therefore they would have a chance to live in the Middle East. All these migrants would work to produce food, which means that Europe would have cheap food .
Not only that thay dont caer that it could throw the balance of on this planet and not evan flinch to the flooding in china that reached a never been seen level
vertical farms
@8:59 International environmentalist ??????? please explain
Al explaine did you know that the speed is sensitive and putting huge projects at one side of the Earth get thrown out of balance guess what happens
enviromental terrorists he meant :)
South get flooded and north west is desert. Idea might just work in few decades
The last 3rd West route is not wise. Mountainous, hilly. earthquake prone and sparsely populated areas are to costly, dangerous & too many unknown risks for such mega water course changes. Don't make the "sparrow" mistake of Cultural Revolution.
lab grown freshwater
Another floods prone areas soon
Don't play around with natural topography
It is inside their territories.
like how your country plays God all the time?
Evolutions derived from History learned, encourage foresight, weighted studies, calculated costs and implementations, are focus only on the sustainability of human and prolonged strength of a country.
successs is about Investing in what benefits the MOST People!!!! CHinas does That!!! Investing in America Usa is about WHO Benefits the Most!! in this Case THE MILITARY Contractors CEos TAKE THE LARGEST Share of Taxpayers Money!!!
With what money 😂
大慨不会威胁到美国国家安全 😂
And no one in china can afford the contaminated water... Massive waste of money
Loser, bitter and jealous. They have clean water already
AI voiced
No you don't need AI for that. It's a simple text-to-voice app.
@@delavan9141 regardless. A lot of people dislike it.
How much western propaganda can you attempt to put into a video about building infrastructure...
Why you don't whory, about your country, and you whory, about china!!!!
Worry
Go slow the cure musnt be worse the the disease
Yay, more tofu concrete to be poured.
It is indeed so sad to note that India could not even provide basic facilities to her people like you and I am not surprised of your mind set, as you don't have enough cash to see the reality of what China had achieved.
Envious are you.
Like Indian airport & bridges? 😂😂
@@directxxxx71 india live like a joke
Provincial Government & Water Security is imperative just as a matter of planning and developing China as a country.
Here in Califonia, some 50+ years ago, the California Aqueduct system is a series fo canals, pipelines and other infrastructure conveyance work which collects and moves water from nothern California, the Sierra Nevada mountain snow-melt runoff and the Central Valley, and transports that water to Southern California. The sothern part of the state has semi arrid weather and only receives less than 12 inches of rain each year, typically. The aquaduct system provides water for the very populated area, and lrovides water for agriculture, industry and of course domestic consumption. It has been a necessary and great success.
China in managing its land and resources is doing the right thing to ensure water security for its provincial goverment(s) for all the reasons just mentioned. Bravo China!
Sounds like a potential, slow-moving environmental disaster.
It is a disaster beyond belief if you throw the center balance off of the earth it will destroy wherever the heaviest part is on this planet
How about a fast-moving disaster because that's what will happen huge huge heavy objects on one side of the planet guess what happens
Losers
It’s amazing what infrastructure projects that you can get done when you are an authoritarian regime that sees humans as nothing but an expendable commodity
Very true, in the US the streets are filled with feces, drug addicts and homeless. The subways filled with degenerates and rats. When will the US regime do something for their people for once.
Why not cover them with solar panels?
Only Drawing but not sure Before anything else you helping people cause many Banks is Bankrupt 😅😂😂😂
