Once completed, the project will divert 44.8 billion cubic meters of water annually to the population centers in northern China. The water will be diverted through three routes: 14.8 billion cubic meters through the eastern route, 13.0 billion cubic meters through the central route, and 17.0 billion cubic meters through the western route. The first phase projects of the eastern and central routes are currently underway, and they will be able to divert 18.27 billion cubic meters of water after completion.
