Madao Junction features the world's largest inland water-saving ship lock with 3-tier water-saving chambers.
Once completed, it is expected to save water about 1.15 cubic meters for 10 million homes a year, around 60 percent of water compared to a typical ship lock. The Pinglu Canal will be put into operation by the end of 2026.
