All dried-out sections of ancient Chinese canal refilled with water

For more:

All dried-out sections of the ancient Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, a long waterway connecting the northern and southern parts of China, have been refilled with water. Launched in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and Shandong – four of the regions the canal flows through in its northern part – the project directed about 191.21 million cubic meters of water into the canal. By the end of May this year, China's Ministry of Water Resources plans to divert even more water into the canal, the longest and oldest man-made waterway in the world. This project aims to improve the ecosystems along the canal.

With a history of more than 2,500 years, the Grand Canal, connecting Beijing and Hangzhou, served as a significant transportation artery in ancient China. The canal was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in China in 2014. Due to historical evolution, human activity and climate change, some sections of the canal began to dry up in the first half of the 20th century.

Hope we can one day travel from Hangzhou to Beijing in a cruise ship like we can do it right now from Shanghai to Chongqing

Well done, China.
Could you please the countries most effected by climate change, if there is any country that can, it most definitely is China.

Really Good to know and to see that Rain and Water have returned to the ancient Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. Actually, can also observe from recent weeks Satellite Radar Weather Map, showing good Rainfall in the Northern Region of PRChina, hence the water has returned to the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. However, the same Radar Weather Map also shown, not much rainfalls occurring in the Yangtze River Basin, in recent months, would assume the One-Century Severe Drought from last year, in Central China has yet to recover. Can we see the latest April-3, 2023, videos of the present states of those all-dried River Beds, in Chongqing and Wuhan ??.
