China's top five engineering feats

The South-to-North Water project will divert 44.8 billion cubic metres of water annually

Canal along the Yellow River

The Haihe River and Grand Canal. The project will eventually link the Haihe with the country's three other major rivers – the Yangtze, Yellow and Huaihe.

The eastern line of the South-North Water Transfer Project is slated to ship 1.47 billion cubic meters of water a year to Shandong Province, starting in 2013.

This is not engineering by any measure! But it is perhaps the most audacious project in mankind that is going on all across the desolate sandy lands in China:
