Across China: Massive water diversion project quenches thirst in Beijing

BEIJING, Dec. 31 (Xinhua) -- Beijing has seen rising groundwater levels thanks to a massive project that has been diverting water from the Yangtze River basin for about a decade, reaping ecological benefits and satisfying its residents' thirst.

In recent days, bean geese have been seen flying over the Chaobai River, which is connected to the Miyun Reservoir, a major water source in the northeast of the city.
