It aims to make the mother of all floods, the Yangtze River, into a tame river and it will be the largest power source for much of eastern and central China. It will create a huge, deep-water lake, and make it possible for 10,000-ton-ocean-going ships to sail 1,500 miles inland from the Pacific to the city of Chongqing with its 30 million people, making it one of the world’s largest river ports.Construction has already started.

By building a dam instead of new coal plants to meet its growing demand of electricity, China will give off much less poisonous gases into the air.The Three Gorges Dam could be considered, when it is finished in 2009, the eighth wonder of the world as to size alone.1.
