Last week I said I would forego my normal TGIF! post because I would be unable to Tweet in China. Well, I managed to assemble a decent number of posts so here we are!
On Wednesday afternoon we toured the northern terminus of the South to North Water Transfer Project in the greater Beijing area. The pictures below were taken by my friend and colleague John L. Sabo of Arizona State University.
Here is a monument located at the very end of the project.
The picture show water emerging from massive underground pipes. Parts of the excavation were dug by hand.
Enjoy!
