China's former minister of water Resources, Wang Shucheng, said in Beijing 25th that the Chinese government has no plans to move from the Brahmaputra to the Yellow River.  At the International Symposium on "Water Resources security: China and the World", Wang Yishing said that China's attitude towards the so-called "big Western Line" of the South-to-north Water Diversion project, from the Brahmaputra of Tibet to the Yellow River, is "No need, cannot be done, unscientific". Wang Yishing said, "Do not need" is that China to solve the Yellow river basin ecological and economic and social development of water problems, from the Yangtze River is enough to adjust water from the Brahmaputra. The water resources of the Yangtze River is 1 trillion cubic meters a year, the water resources of the Yellow River is 58 billion cubic meters a year, the Yellow River water is only about 6% of the Yangtze River.  From the Yangtze River 10 billion cubic meters to the Yellow River, the Yellow River will make a great change in the ecological, and the water volume of the Yangtze River only 1%. Wang Yishing said: "Some people suggest from the Brahmaputra 200 billion cubic meters of water into the Yellow River, then the Yellow River now built all the works, including all the levees will be destroyed, so this is not feasible." "On the suggestion that there is not a reservoir on the Yellow River that can store so much water," said Wang Yishing, "Qinghai Lake is a lagoon, and if valuable freshwater resources enter the lagoon, it will cause serious pollution." And if the water in Qinghai Lake is replaced once and the salt is flushed, it will take 600 years for the experts to calculate. "Who would do this stupid thing?" Wang Yishing said: "I can responsibly say that the Chinese government has no plan to transfer water from the Brahmaputra." The Brahmaputra is an important international river and the highest river in the world. It originated from Himalaya Mountain, in China 2057 kilometers in length, the basin area of more than 240,000 square kilometers, the river basin average elevation of about 4500 meters.
