A water diversion project to supply fresh water to Taiwan’s Kinmen Island officially started construction in Longhu town, Jinjing city in East China’s Fujian province. Water from Jinjiang River will be stored at the reservoir before being pumped into the pipeline and sent to Kinmen, only a dozen kilometers away. The project is due for completion in 2017 and will provide 34,000 cubic meters every day via a 27.6-km pipe.
