Shanghai residents can now drink water from Qiandaohu Lake in Zhejiang

The channels will also pass through Hangzhou and Jiaxing, where citizens may
have access to the water as well.
Officials said Chun'an County in Zhejiang Province will also benefit from the
diversion.
The lake is 100 times larger than the famous West Lake in capacity, and the
water quality is officially rated as first-class.
