Traditionally, environmental management has been considered in the light of knowing the best technological solution. A significant case study representing a technological solution to environmental management is the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) on the Yangtze River in China. The dam has two principal management purposes. These are; to provide energy sourced by more renewable means than coal burning alternatives, to meet rising demands, as well as reduce flooding of the Yangtze River. Following a deeper

The Three Gorges Dam, the world’s largest power station, is a hydroelectric dam that distances the Yangtze River located in China. Dams could be built for many reasons, including flood control, irrigation, and sedimentation control. Construction for the dam started in 1992 after many repeated discussions and arguments took place. The Chinese people are keeping a close watch on the Three Gorges Dam, and many people in other countries are keeping an eye on it as well. Unfortunately, with a project

1. Introduction The Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River will probably be finished by 2009 and will be the largest hydroelectric dam in the world. Being the present manager and being appointed by the government at the feasibility stage I am asked to write a report in order to outline the activities required to successfully manage this major project and to ensure that it is completed on time and within budget. This report will be divided into six parts beginning with an introduction and ending

study: Effects of hydroelectric dams (3 gorges dam) Introduction/research question: The Three Gorges Dam spans the Yangtze in China. Construction began in 1994. It is the largest hydroelectric dam in the world. So far china has benefited very well economically from renewable energy production and pollution and the burning of fossil fuels has been avoided and this source of energy has become vastly popular. However not everyone is happy with the construction of this dam as it has its benefits and limitations
