(ii) SouthMain Line, for deliveringwater to the TaiyuanService Area, includinguse of Fen River to deliverwater to Fen-l reservoir,and ConnectionWorks for deliveryfrom Fen-l reservoirto the TaiyuanService Area. (iii)NorthMain Line, includingsome new reservoirs,for deliveringwater to the Pingshuo and Datong serviceareas. The present PhaseI projectis limitedto Item (i) (ii) and excludesthe North MainLine. Figure 1.1.1-1is a schematicdrawing which illustrates the overallproject conceptand those componentsincluded in Phase I. Figure 1.1.1-2 shows the plan layout of the V,'VTP in color. The Phase I project willtransfer I millionm 3/dayof water to Taiyuan beginingin 2001 and another0.76 millionm 3/dayby 2004. 1.1.2 Importance of WWTP The purpose of overallWWTP is to furnishadditional water supplyfor industrialand municipaluse in Taiyuan, Pingshuo and Datong in Shanxi Province. It is a "life" project of the provinceand also one of the importantdevelopment projects of the State "8thFive-year Plan". As noted above, the Phase I projectis limitedto furnishingwater. to the TaiyuanService Area. Taiyuan is an important energy and chemicalbase of China. As a result of great shortage of water, it is now dependingon groundwaterover-development. At present, the daily water unavailabilityis 425,000 m3. Although 225,000 m3/day is made availableby means of groundwaterover-development, there is still a gap of 200,000 m3. Extensiveover-development of groundwaterhas enlargedthe groundwaterfunnel area in the city from 11.2 km2 in the 1960sto 328 km2 in 1993 and has increasedthe well depth from 50 m to over 300 m. Up to date, more than 800 wells have dried up and abandoned.Water has been long suppliedat a low pressureand even interruptedin a total area of 42 km2, which directlyaffects the livelihoodof 400,000 people.The reconstructionand expansionof a series of large and middle-sizedenterprises are restricted by the shortage of water. At the Lancun water source (a major water source), the water availabilityhas decreasedfrom 460,000 m3/day in the 1970s to 260,000 m3/d in 1993. Extensive groundwater over development has caused deteriorationof groundwaterquality, settlement of ground and surface,unbalance of l-l Waniiazhai Water Transfer Proiect Final Report the eco-enviromnent,which endangers human health and environment.It is, thus, very urgent to seek new water sources for relaxingthe critical water shortage in Taiyuan, and the onlyfeasible solution is to divert water flow fromthe YellowRiver system. The State PlanningCommission (SPC) submittedto the State Councilthe "Submission of Review and Approval of the FeasibilityStudy Report on WanjiazhaiDam and W'aterTransfer Project" (Letter No. JNJ87) on January27, 1993. The submissionwas approvedby the State Councilon February22, 1993. 1.1.3 Purpose of ELA The purpose of the presentstudy is to producean EIA report for the WanjiazhaiWater
