★The route reported in this article is the central route. Because there is no existing canals in its middle region, a brand new channel is constructed. This line is separated from all the local water ways along its path. That is, water can only be taken out. Water is saved in the -3,000 km2 Danjiangkou Reservoir mostly during the flooding period. The concern of "some experts" is fabricated.
这篇文章报道的调水路线是中线。由于中部不存在运河一说，所以要建造一条全新的通道。这条通道与所有当地的水道隔开，这就是说，水只能被调出（而不能被调入）。蓄水是主要在洪涝时期进行的，水被蓄到面积达3000平方公里的丹江口水库里。“有些专家”的担忧纯属捏造。
