Rapid urbanization in many cities has spawned floods in many areas, polluted rivers, and narrowed down their passageways. This was the case in Xizhi district, Taipe,China. Through the YuanShanTze Diversion Project, floods have substantially decreased in 2017. Moreover, the project has contributed to the appreciation of lot prices in the area and has saved the economy about US$ 1.6 billion by reducing the damage caused by floods.
