At first I’ll have a brief introduction of Yangtze River, the Yangtze River, the biggest river in China, the third longest in the World, starts with the Tuotuo River at the Roof of the World -Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, takes in countless rivers, and flows eastward across the interior of China. With an overall length of more than 6,300 kilometers, the Yangtze River, next only to the Amazon and the Nile, is the third biggest river in the world and is a cradle that breeds the ancient civilization of the

are changing the landscapes and some even displacing animals and humans form their homes. One example of this is the Three Gorges Dam, a hydroelectric dam that reaches across the Yangtze River. The dam is located near the town of Sandouping in the Hubei province. When the dam was being built China had to relocate over 1.24 million people because the water that would be blocked from flowing down the river would rise and flood many of the towns by the river.

January 25, 2014, will remain a historic date for Chinese tennis: on that day Li Na defeated Dominika Cibulkova and became the first Chinese to win the Australian Open. It was her second Grand Slam after winning the 2011 French Open. Officials in Hubei – her native province - were so excited by the event that local Party chief Li Hongzhong and provincial Governor Wang Guosheng set up a welcome ceremony on January 27. They awarded the returning champion Rmb 800,000 ($132,000) as a manifestation of

ecosystems with consideration of typical vegetation types (e.g., evergreen forests) and rare and endangered species in the region. An ecosystem conservation network has been developed in the TGRR including Dalaoling (Yichuang City, Hubei Province), Longmuhe (Xinshan County, Hubei Province), Shiping (Fengdu County, Chongqing), and Wushan (Wushan County, Chongq- ing) (Zhang. 2011). 7 Conclusion This paper takes the Three Gorges Dam Program as an example to introduce the process of EIA, emphasizing on the

social, environmental and economic advantages and disadvantages and whether should it have been built? Firstly the Three Gorges Dam is a hydroelectric dam that spans the Yangtze River by the town of Sandouping, located in Yiling District, Yichang, Hubei province, China. The Three Gorges Dam is the world's largest power station in terms of installed capacity it can create up to 22,500 MW enough to power New York for 10 years. In 2012, the amount of electricity the dam generated was similar to the amount

The purpose of this letter is to inform this company about the negative impacts The Three Gorges Dam has on China. The Three Gorges Dam does not appear to outweigh the costs because of the amount of people having to be relocated,lower water levels, and the loss of many ancient artifacts. Some people might argue that the Three Gorges Dam is good because it improves navigation, advances electricity, and controls floods but the negative impacts are more harmful to China’s future. Along with the hardships

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

Case 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

1. Historical Implications: Why was the building of the dam first proposed in 1919 and by whom? Answer: It was proposed by Dr. Sun Yat-sen, pioneer of the Chinese democratic revolution, to harness the energy of the Yangtze River. 2 . Historical Implications: Why have archaeologists and historians criticized the building of the Three Gorges Dam? Answer: the Three Gorges Dam because it flooded and destroyed a large number of important cultural and archaeological sites. The dam has caused a lot of

Early in his career Li Si showed an earnest desire to contribute to the ongoing moral government. Sima Qian wrote, “Zheng Gao, a man of Hann, came to cause dissension in Qin through the construction of drainage and irrigation channels” (25). It is well known that water control through engineering has always been a major concern and responsibility of the Chinese government. Irresponsible use of water could lead to crops flooding, mudslides that are capable of destroying villages, widespread hunger
