CHINA-HUBEI-JINGMEN-QUJIALING RELICS SITE-ANCIENT DAM (CN)

(231205) -- JINGMEN, Dec. 5, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Archeologists work at the relics site of the Xiongjialing Dam in Jingmen, central China's Hubei Province, Dec. 4, 2023. The Xiongjialing Dam, which was initially built around 5,100 years ago, is part of the Qujialing relics site in the city of Jingmen, central China's Hubei Province. The dam, complete with a reservoir and spillway, has been identified as China's earliest known water conservancy project. The design of the dam suggests that ancient people in the area had learned to harness water based on the landform rather than simply implementing measures to defend themselves against floods, said He Nu, a researcher with the Institute of Archaeology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

    Water Diversion Project - China

    An aerial drone photo taken on November 14, 2024 shows a canal of the South-to-North Water Diversion Middle Route Project on the border between Beijing and north China's Hebei Province. China's South-to-North Water Diversion Project has three routes. The first phase of China's South-to-North Water Diversion Middle Route Project started supplying water in December 2014. Aimed at increasing water safety and improving the water ecology and environment along the route, the middle route project has been carrying water through canals and pipes from the Danjiangkou reservoir in central China's Hubei Province to Henan, Hebei, Beijing and Tianjin. Since operation, the project has transferred over 10.6 billion cubic meters of water to the capital city and benefited more than 16 million people. Photo by Xinhua/Chen Zhonghao/ABACAPRESS.COM

                World's Largest Neutrino Observatory - China

                Staff members clean parts of the central detector of the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) in Jiangmen, south China's Guangdong Province, Oct. 10, 2024. China has constructed the world's largest transparent spherical detector 700 meters underground to capture elusive neutrinos, often dubbed "ghost particles," to unravel the secrets of the infinitesimally small and the infinitely vast in the universe. The 12-story-tall acrylic sphere with a diameter of 35.4 meters, buried deep in a granite layer of a hill in Kaiping, Jiangmen City in south China's Guangdong Province, is the core part of JUNO, a gigantic and complex scientific facility. The construction of the challenging project, launched by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the Guangdong government in 2015, has entered the final stage. Installation of the entire device is expected to be completed by the end of November, and the full operation of the facility is scheduled for August 2025, according to the Institute of High Energy Physics
