That's one damn big dam.
The Discovery Channel has a good "Engineering Marvels" segment on it.

TGD is an ecological disaster and has destroyed too many villages and historical sites to even count.

They better hope their dams are better than the rest of the junk they build. They do know its supposed to hold back water, right?

In the past, large damming projects elsewhere have resulted in silt and nutrients being trapped behind the dams, damaging fish stocks and the fertility of downstream farmland. Like the Soviet built Aswan Dam on the Niles. The thing is an eco-time bomb. But we never hear about it from Greenpeace, etc., since it can't be blamed on the U.S. And besides, like the Chinese, "their intentions were good."

"Continued sediment retention at these rates, combined with more dams planned for the watershed, will severely affect people and the ecosystems on the Yangtze delta,"With that news, Beijing will breath a sigh of relief and continue as planned.
