截至今年3月，南水北调工程已累计向北方地区调水400多亿立方米。东线、中线一期主体工程建成通水以来，直接受益人口达1.2亿多人，供水到达40多个大中型城市，同时助力东线、中线沿线河湖生态修复。 As of March, the South-to-North Water Diversion Project had transferred over 40 billion cubic meters of water to the northern areas. 南水北调中线穿黄工程（图片来源：新华社） 【知识点】 “南水北调工程”是中华人民共和国的战略性工程，分东、中、西三条线路将南方长江流域的水调到北方水资源缺乏区域。南水北调工程规划区涉及人口4.38亿人，调水规模448亿立方米，工程规划的东、中、西线干线总长度达4350公里，通过三条调水线路，与长江、淮河、黄河、海河相互联接，构成我国中部地区水资源“四横三纵、南北调配、东西互济”的总体格局。南水北调工程是迄今为止世界上规模最大的调水工程。 南水北调东线于2013年11月正式通水。工程从江苏扬州引长江水，利用京杭大运河以及与之平行的河道输水，设13梯级泵站，经泵站逐级提水进入东平湖，出东平湖后分两路，一路抵达鲁北地区，一路向东输水至青岛、烟台等地。 2014年12月12日，南水北调中线工程一期正式通水运行。中线一期工程以丹江口水库为起点，地跨河南、河北、北京、天津4省市。 【重要讲话】 进入新发展阶段、贯彻新发展理念、构建新发展格局，形成全国统一大市场和畅通的国内大循环，促进南北方协调发展，需要水资源的有力支撑。 Strong support of water resources is needed as the nation enters a new development stage, implements a new development philosophy, fosters a new development paradigm, endeavors to establish a national unified …
