The South-to-North Water Diversion Middle Route Project is the world's largest cross-basin ecological water transfer project. The project diverts water from the Danjiangkou Reservoir of the Han River in the south to solve the water shortage problem in Henan, Hebei, Beijing and Tianjin. The dam of Danjiangkou Reservoir was raised to an altitude of 176.6 meters to divert water for self-flow. The submersion involved two provinces, Henan and Hubei, and about 330,000 people needed to be relocated, of which 230,000 had to be relocated. From August 20, 2009 to September 18, 2012, 330,000 immigrants have all ended. Huanghu New Immigrant Village, located in Tuanfeng Town, Tuanfeng County, Huanggang City, Hubei Province, is the largest resettlement area on the middle line of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. 874 households and 3,723 immigrants migrated from the Shiyan Danjiangkou Reservoir area.
