Updated: 2009-06-15 10:29 WUHAN -- Central China's Hubei province is to have all immigrants sign relocation contracts this year in the area where the south-to-north water diversion project was launched, said local authorities in a plan on Sunday.
Immigration from the Danjiangkou area is a necessary step for construction of the central route of the massive hydro project, which involved 330,000 people, including 180,000 from Hubei and 150,000 from Henan in central China. Both province started relocation work in November 2008. Hubei has planned to relocate the first batch of 12,000 people by the end of September. China's south-to-north diversion project is designed to divert water from the water-rich south of the country, mainly from the Yangtze, up to the dry north. The huge project consists of eastern, central and western routes. The first two routes are already under construction, while the western channel is still at the planning stage. |
