截至今年3月，南水北調(diào)工程已累計向北方地區(qū)調(diào)水400多億立方米。東線、中線一期主體工程建成通水以來，直接受益人口達1.2億多人，供水到達40多個大中型城市，同時助力東線、中線沿線河湖生態(tài)修復。
As of March, the South-to-North Water Diversion Project had transferred over 40 billion cubic meters of water to the northern areas. More than 120 million people had directly benefited from the project since the first phase of its eastern and middle routes began supplying water. More than 40 big and medium-sized cities received water from the project, which has also helped ecological restoration of rivers and lakes along its eastern and middle routes.

【知識點】
“南水北調(diào)工程”是中華人民共和國的戰(zhàn)略性工程，分東、中、西三條線路將南方長江流域的水調(diào)到北方水資源缺乏區(qū)域。南水北調(diào)工程規(guī)劃區(qū)涉及人口4.38億人，調(diào)水規(guī)模448億立方米，工程規(guī)劃的東、中、西線干線總長度達4350公里，通過三條調(diào)水線路，與長江、淮河、黃河、海河相互聯(lián)接，構(gòu)成我國中部地區(qū)水資源“四橫三縱、南北調(diào)配、東西互濟”的總體格局。南水北調(diào)工程是迄今為止世界上規(guī)模最大的調(diào)水工程。
南水北調(diào)東線于2013年11月正式通水。工程從江蘇揚州引長江水，利用京杭大運河以及與之平行的河道輸水，設(shè)13梯級泵站，經(jīng)泵站逐級提水進入東平湖，出東平湖后分兩路，一路抵達魯北地區(qū)，一路向東輸水至青島、煙臺等地。
2014年12月12日，南水北調(diào)中線工程一期正式通水運行。中線一期工程以丹江口水庫為起點，地跨河南、河北、北京、天津4省市。
