  Those "counterrevolutionaries" who were not executed were subjected to "reform through labor," a euphemism for slave labor, and participated in the intensive work which began on railway and road construction and water conservation schemes. The most important of the latter was the vaunted Huai River flood control project, which has been the subject of praise in all the accounts of fellow travelers who have visited China.

  In 1938 the great stream was deflected to the south by the Chinese in a misplaced effort to delay the advance of Japanese forces moving southward from T'ien-ching (Tientsin) and Pei-ching (Peking); and it flowed southeastward into the Huai river system and thence through a series of lakes and the Grand Canal down into the Yangtze drainage area.

  The plan called for the construction of detention reservoirs (some with power-generating capacity) on the upstream tributaries, the dredging of the main channel and strengthening of dikes, flood-diversion dams and reservoirs in mid-course, and the digging of a new outlet to the Yellow Sea from Hungtse Lake, in the lower reaches of the Hwai Ho. The outlet, known as the North Kiangsu Canal, was inaugurated in 1952. Of twenty-seven planned detention reservoirs, about ten have been completed. To relieve the load on the Hwai Ho during the flood stage, a parallel outlet channel, the New Pien Canal, was dug in the late 1960’s to collect part of the discharge of left tributaries and divert it into Hungtse Lake.]

  In the Huai River valley, which as we saw has yielded good evidence of Shang occupation in the Erh-li-kang phase, there have been a number of late Shang sites that have been reported on, but the only site of any notable scale is the residential-plus-burial site at Ch'iu-wan 丘灣, north of Hsü-chou in northwestern Kiangsu, discovered in 1959 and excavated in 1959, 1960, and 1965.

  By studying mortality rates and pollution statistics in 90 Chinese cities, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Israel and China discovered that air pollution from burning coal in north China, defined as above the Huai River, with a population of around 500 million people, was 55% higher than in the south.
  Their study blamed the Chairman Mao-era coal-fired free winter heating supplied for decades to all northern areas, and not to areas south of the Huai River.

  China on Sunday raised the flood alert level in the Huai River region in the country’s east to Level II from Level III, the second highest on its four-tier scale, after days of torrential downpours and amid expectations of further heavy rainfall.
  Ten reservoirs on the Huai River have seen water levels exceeding warning levels by as much as 6.85 metres, according to the Huaihe River Commission of China’s Ministry of Water Resources.
  The 1,000km (620 mile) Huai River flows through major agriculture and manufacturing hubs in Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces.
