It took 15 days for water to reach Beijing from its source the Hanjiang River, a tributary of the Yangtze River, China’s largest waterway.
It took eight years to complete two 4,000-metre-long tunnels under the riverbed of the Yellow River. In 2003 its project cost was estimated to be around $59 billion which spiraled to $80 billion by the end of its completion.
