The South-to-North Water Diversion Project was a strategic project, and fishing was prohibited. Although there were people secretly fishing, this behavior violated the relevant regulations. From the perspective of protection engineering and ecology, the South-to-North Water Diversion Project had its own ecological balance considerations. The ban on fishing helped to maintain the ecological stability of the project, while also ensuring the normal operation of the project and the safety of water quality.
The South-to-North Water Diversion Project was divided into the east, middle, and west lines. The east line project takes water from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River; the water intake of the middle line project is located at Danjiangkou Reservoir in Hubei Province, and the head of the canal is at the head gate of Taocha Canal in Danyang Village, Xichuan County, Nanyang City, Henan Province; the west line project has not been built yet.
The South-to-North Water Diversion Project was divided into three routes: east, middle and west. The starting point of the east line project was located in Jiangdu Water Control Hub in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, and the water supply areas were Tianjin, Jinan, Taizhou, Weihai and other places. The starting point of the middle line project was located at the Danjiangkou Reservoir in the middle and upper reaches of the Han River. It flowed through Henan, Hebei, and finally reached Beijing and Tianjin. The water supply area was Henan, Hebei, Beijing, and Tianjin. The main task was to provide water for the living, industrial, agricultural, and environmental aspects of Beijing, Tianjin, and North China. The West Line Project was planned to divert water from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, through mountains, and finally to the upper reaches of the Yellow River. It was aimed at solving the water shortage problem in Qinghai, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and other six provinces (autonomous regions)(not implemented as of 2024).
The water diversion of the river diversion project was located in Longzhou embankment of Jingzhou City, Hubei Province, and the water outlet was located in Gaoshibei of Qianjiang City. The main canal route crossed Jingzhou District and Shayang County under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou and Jingmen prefecture-level cities, as well as Qianjiang City and Xiantao City under the provincial administration. The total length of the channel was 67.23 kilometers. It diverted water from the Jingjiang River section of the Yangtze River to the Xinglong River section of Gaoshibei Town of the Han River.
The water resources allocation pattern of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project was "four horizontal and three vertical", and the middle line was divided into two phases. The original average annual water diversion of the Middle Route of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project was 9.5 billion yuan, but because the South-to-North Water Transfer Project changed from a supplementary water source to a main urban water source, the supply was still insufficient. The second phase of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project was planned to divert 13 billion cubic meters of water annually. Because the Middle Route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project still had a certain capacity, it was still possible to send more than 2 billion cubic meters of water on the basis of 9.5 billion cubic meters. The water could be transported by increasing the flow. The project of diverting water from the Yangtze River to the Han River would also be implemented in the future. By diverting water from the Yangtze River to the Han River, it could not only increase the amount of water diverted to the north, but also further protect the ecological water in the middle and lower reaches of the Han River. At present, the water diversion main line of the middle line diversion project will enter the comprehensive construction stage.
The South-to-North Water Diversion Project was divided into the east, middle, and west lines. The east line project takes water from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River; the water intake of the middle line project is the head gate of Taocha Canal of Danjiangkou Reservoir in Xichuan County, Nanyang City, Henan Province; the west line project has not been built yet, and no specific information about the water intake has been found.
The following are some of the seven poems praising the South-to-North Water Diversion Project: - "Nanquan Water Diversion Danjiangkou, the leader's grand plan will come true in the future. The dragon dances in the clouds as it enters the earth, and the clear wine of the north flows to intoxicate Beijing and Tianjin." - "The wise policy of the Party is to open up the waves of Chu, and the source of the south and the source of the north are to come. A thousand ripples of joy, the nine regions are flourishing in poetry." - "It's hard to find the blue waves in the north, and Xijing has no choice but to move to Kaifeng. Since ancient times, there have been many mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, and they have been offering sacrifices to the north in the morning and evening."

The water diversion project of Cetian reservoir was an important water supply project in Datong City. The Cetian Water Diversion Project diverted water from the Cetian Reservoir and transported it to urban users through pressurizing and pipeline. The total length of the project is 48.718km, the total lift is 239.44m, and the installed capacity is 8130km. In addition, there was also information about the water diversion project of Datong City's Cetian Reservoir, including the first and second phases. These projects were aimed at updating and renovating the pumping station's electrical and mechanical equipment and water diversion pipes to restore water supply capacity. The specific scope and length of the construction were not explicitly mentioned in the search results provided. In general, the water diversion project of the Cetian Reservoir was an important water supply project in Datong City. Through the renovation and renovation project, it was aimed at improving the water supply capacity and efficiency.
Here are some examples of the seven laws of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project (related to Danjiangkou): "I will obey your orders and help the country. I am willing to give the spring to Jizhou. Except for the high mountains and the righteous path, I can dream of thousands of years through the river. I plan for ten thousand years to make Xuchang prosperous, so that China will not worry about it." "The water diversion from the south to the north is busy, and the Danjiang River is long. The jade liquid trickled down and the city was happy, and the smoke from the chimneys was fragrant. The crops and fertilizer in the fields celebrate together, and the beautiful scenery of the green forest is auspicious. The great cause of the Divine Prefecture shocked the world, and the fruits were abundant in the hometown." "The Azure Dragon goes through the Nine States, and the Great Yu sighs for the virtuous. Chongling head low rushed to the vast, calm lake waves surging into the sky. It attracted the pure water of the south to nourish the thirsty fields of the north. Now that the rivers and mountains have been repainted, when will the silver river be accessible to ships?" "The central government is painting a grand picture, and the north and south are sharing the blessings of the country. Provinces and cities work together to promote great cause, east and west help each other, indicating a prosperous road. The barrier formed by vitality, the water gathered and flowed, and all things were restored. All industries prosper and the people profit. Thousands of hectares of jade embroidered screen shop."

In 2023 - 2024 (2023.11.1 - 2024.10.31), a certain province focused on making full use of the river water, strengthening management, regulating dispatch, actively promoting the replacement of river water, comprehensively promoting the utilization of river water, and fully ensuring the safety of water supply. By the end of October, 2.124 billion cubic meters of urban and rural living and industrial water diversion from the middle route of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project had been completed, exceeding the annual target.
In December 2014, the first phase of the Middle Route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project was opened to water, and December 2024 was the 10th anniversary of the opening of water. The Middle Route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project had many important significance and achievements. For example, it was a large-scale project composed of hundreds of large and medium-sized water conservancy buildings. The water transport route was 1432 kilometers long, crossing the Huai River basin, crossing the bottom of the Yellow River, flowing into the North China Plain, and reaching Beijing and Tianjin. As of 3:20 p. m. on June 12, 2024, the first phase of the Middle Route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project had delivered 10 billion cubic meters of water to Beijing, directly benefiting more than 16 million people. More than 70% of the water supply in Beijing's Urban area was from the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, increasing the annual per capital water resources from 100 cubic meters to about 150 cubic meters, greatly easing the shortage of water resources in the capital and improving the safety of the city's water supply. It was also the sub-center of the city. Daxing International Airport and other key areas will provide water support. As of October 31,2024, the first phase of the Middle Route of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project had transferred more than 68 billion cubic meters of water in 10 years since the water was connected, including 10.637 billion cubic meters of ecological replenishment. In 2024 - 2025, it was planned to transfer 6.995 billion cubic meters of water to Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and Henan provinces (directly under the central government). In addition, on November 11,2024, the large-scale national opera "Han River Loyal Heart", which was based on the Middle Route Project of South-to-North Water Transfer, was performed in Hongshan auditorium in Hubei. Recently, the Daxing branch line of the Beijing South-to-North Water Transfer Project had been fully filled with water. This project would enable Beijing to have two channels to receive water from the middle line of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project. At the same time, the Beijing New Airport Water Plant would have dual water sources. In the future, part of the "South Water" would be transported to Hebei through the Daxing branch line. It would realize the two-way water transmission between Beijing and Hebei and the mutual assistance of water sources, which was of great significance to the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.
