So far, Henan has basically formed a modern waterway network featuring "one vertical axis and three horizontal axes covering four basins", said a source from the provincial water conservancy conference of 2022 on January 11.
One vertical axis refers to the main channel of China's South-to-North Water Diversion Project (central route), while three horizontal axes trunk streams of the Yellow River, Shaying River and Huaihe River, and four basins the Hiahe River, Yellow River, Huaihe River and Yangtze River.
