Three Gorges Dam
- the World's Largest Hydroelectric
Project.
The Yangtze River was completely blocked on Nov. 6, 2002 at
the Three Gorges when the opening in the diversion canal of
the Dam Project was closed. Hence the natural flow of the
mighty river at the Three Gorges is cut.
The Three Gorges Dam will incorporate a Power Station, to
be the largest of its kind in the world, with a total installed
capacity of 18,200 MW, generating 84.7 billion KWH, or one-ninth
of the national total generated power, a year.
The Three Gorges, one of the famous sightseeing attraction
in China, consist of Qutang, Wuxia and Xiling Gorges, stretch
192 kilometers from Baidicheng (White Emperor City) in Chongqing
in the west, to Yichang in Hubei Province in the east.
