The eastern coastal city of Qingdao, co-host of the 2008 Olympic Games sailing event, has begun to store water from the Yellow River for use during the 15-day games. The sluice gates of the Yellow River water diversion project opened at 8 a.m. on Tuesday at Boxing County in eastern Shandong Province. Qingdao, which is 300 kilometers away, is expected to receive 160 million cubic meters of fresh water from the Yellow River this time, almost equal to the annual consumption of the city's urban areas.
