Large Medium SmallBEIJING - China's Ministry of Finance said Tuesday that it has allocated 6.33 billion yuan ($1.03 billion) for irrigation and water conservation projects.
The fund will be used for the improving projects in major grain-growing regions, central and western regions, old revolutionary bases, ethnic minority areas, border areas and poverty-stricken areas, the ministry said.
Around 80 percent of the money will be for new irrigation and water conservation projects, while the remainder will go on maintenance.
