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, Chi na. The Three Gorges Dam is the world's largest power station in terms of installed capacity (22,500 MW). The Chinese Government regards the project as a historic engineering, social and economic success, with the design of state-of-the-art large turbines, and a move toward limiting greenhouse gas emissions. Introduction Requirement Challenges Planning Dam Site : Upstream on Yangtze River Made of concrete and steel The dam is 2,335 m (7,661 ft.) long and the top of the dam is 185 meters (607 ft.) above sea level. The project used 27.2 million cubic meters (35.6106 cu yd.) of concrete (mainly for the dam wall), 463,000 tonnes of steel and moved about 102.6 million cubic meters (134.2106 cu yd.) of earth. The concrete dam wall is 181 meters (594 ft.) high above the rock basis. 63 X Steel Used Compositions & Dimensions: 3 Gorges Dam

Introduction Requirement Challenges Planning Introduction Requirement Challenges Planning Precious Stone Fortress is partly submerged in the water. Environmental Impact Project has a great influence on the environment and ecology of the reservoir area and the Yangtze River. Biggest concern is the pollution of the reservoir - After the water storage, due to the steady state of the fluent, the contaminant cannot down rush in time and store up in the reservoir, which would deteriorate water quality and cause refuse floating, and probably trigger the epidemic. Migration Problem Migration problem is the biggest difficult faced by the project - The fund for migration covers 45% of the total investment. After the water storage, about 129 cities and towns including Wanxian and Fuling are flooded. The migrants surpass 1200,000, relating to 20 cities. Many migrants are building their new homes around the dam area. But the current situation is that though the infrastructure construction is rapid, the industry develops slowly, a great number of enterprises went bankrupt, the unemployment rate is high and the income of peasants falls, which has brought a lot of social problems. Landscape Loss As the water storage of the Three Gorges Dam, the rising Yangtze River has flooded a part of the landscape. Scenery changes a lot compared before the dam construction. It is a great pity that so many scenic sights have forever disappeared. The experts have tried their best to save them as much as possible. They moved some to the new sites, transferred some to museums or took photos as a reference to later reproduction. Introduction Requirement Challenges Planning The ancient plank road is submerged in the water. Ecological Problem: Fishes cannot normally pass the Three Gorges, and thus their living habits and heredity will change. After the finish of the water storage, over 560 kinds of land rare plants will be flooded. A) Endangered Treasures : Among the potential tragedies of the Three Gorges Dam project are over one thousand sites of archaeological and historical importance that will be submerged and lost forever upon completion of the dam like Ba Civilization: Artists and Metal Workers Ancient Fossils at Dragon Bone Cave Shibaozhai Temple B) Endangered Species The baiji dolphin, the ancient river sturgeon and the finless porpoise depend on the Yangtze for their survival. The population of Siberian cranes in Poyang Lake will also Earthquakes The Three Gorges area is affected by many small earthquakes yearly, but most range from 1-2 on the Richter scale. However, once the dam is completed, these levels are expected to rise to earthquakes that will be 5-6 on the Richter scale. While technology allows the dam to tolerate earthquakes that are 7-8 on the Richter scale, if there is any miscalculation, there would be complete disaster. Introduction Requirement Challenges Planning Erosion and the Yellow Sea Erosion is also a key factor in the problems of Three Gorges. Many dams around the world have provoked a problem with coastal erosion, and Three Gorges doesn't seem to be heading in a different direction. The problem starts when clear water is forced out of the river mouth and carried along the coast. This clear water erodes the coast and this erosion can cause problems far beyond the boundaries of Three Gorges, and could also cause serious problems along China's coastal cities and towns. Sediment Problem It is measured that the river sediment concentration of the upper stream is about 1.2kg per cubic meter. The total sediment passing the dam site is above five hundred million a year. Before the dam project, the mud and sand deposited largely in Jingjiang River, which has lifted the water level and menaced the safety of Jianghan (Yangtze River and Hanjiang River) Plain and Dongting Lake Plain. Agricultural Production Although silt deposits are dangerous to the health of a river and the usefulness of a dam, silt itself is necessary. Silt is a naturally occurring phenomenon, and consists of soil, gravel and rocks, mostly coming from soil erosion on land. Introduction Requirement Challenges Planning Issue Criticism Defense Cost The dam will far exceed the official cost estimate, and the investment will be unrecoverable as cheaper power sources become available and lure away ratepayers. The dam is within budget, and updating the transmission grid will increase demand for its electricity and allow the dam to pay for itself. Resettlement Relocated people are worse off than before and their human rights are being violated. 15 million people downstream will be better off due to electricity and flood control. Environment Water pollution and deforestation will increase, the coastline will be eroded and the altered ecosystem will further endanger many species. Hydroelectric power is cleaner than coal burning and safer than nuclear plants, and steps will be taken to protect the environment. Local culture and natural beauty The reservoir will flood many historical sites and ruin the legendary scenery of the gorges and the local tourism industry. Many historical relics are being moved, and the scenery will not change that much. Navigation Heavy siltation will clog ports within a few years and negate improvements to navigation. Shipping will become faster, cheaper and safer as the rapid waters are tamed and ship locks are installed. Power generation Technological advancements have made hydrodams obsolete, and a decentralized energy market will allow ratepayers to switch to cheaper, cleaner power supplies. The alternatives are not viable yet and there is a huge potential demand for the relatively cheap hydroelectricity. Flood control Siltation will decrease flood storage capacity, the dam will not prevent floods on tributaries, and more effective flood control solutions are available. The huge flood storage capacity will lessen the frequency of major floods. The risk that the dam will increase flooding is remote. Table: Summary of the arguments in favor of and against the dam Introduction Requirement Challenges Planning The construction started December 14 1994. The dam was expected to be fully operational in 2009, but additional projects, such as the underground power plant with six additional generators, are expected to delay full operation until mid-2012.The ship lift is expected to be completed in 2014. Timeline: of 3 Gorges Dam First proposed in 1919, the Three Gorges Dam Project has faced many challenges throughout the plans development. In 1932 the Construction Committee of Sun Yat-Sen created the initial plan for a much smaller dam on the Yangtze River. The project lost support during the China Civil War in 1947, but after the devastating Yangtze River floods in the 1950s, the idea was reintroduced to the government. In 1958, Mao Zedong pushed for support; he wanted China to have the largest hydroelectric dam in the world. Political unrest again delayed construction until 1979, when the State Council approved construction because growing economy demanded more electric power. In early 1989, the State Council agreed in March to suspend construction plans because of international pressures. By 1992 the National Peoples Party approved the Three Gorges Dam project The project was due to be completed in 2009. Introduction Requirement Challenges Planning Introduction Requirement Challenges Planning Gestation of the Project
As early as 1919, in his article entitled A plan to develop industry, Sun Yat-Sen mentioned the possibility to build a series or large dams in the Yangtze with the purposes of flood control and electricity generation During the 1930s, under the Guomindang Party government, several studies were undertaken to check the feasibility of constructing a large dam in the upper reaches5 of Yangtze River. In 1944, an American dam expert of the US Bureau of Reclamation, J.L. Savage, was invited to do field research in order to survey the location of the future dam and to draft a preliminary project. Two years later, the Republic of China signed a contract with the US Bureau of Reclamation, to design a large dam in the Three Gorges area (see Fig. 2), and more than 50 Chinese technicians were sent to the United States to participate in the design. However, the deep economic crisis and the upsurge of the Chinese civil war caused the abandonment of the project by the government of Chiang Kai-Shek in 1947 (Dai, 1994). A severe series of floods in the Yangtze River in 1949 made the recently established communist government strengthen its politics towards the great hydraulic projects to control floods, planning the massive construction of large dams, dikes and sluices for the forthcoming decades.

The cumulative NPV is initially negative due to the large upfront construction and resettlement costs. As electricity starts to flow, NPV improves. Electricity at end of project matters less than in early stages.
If climate change reduces electricity at end, it would have only a small effect on NPV. Financing Construction Cost & Time Completion Costs/Disadvantages/Negative Effects 1. Several large towns upstream, such as Fuling (population=80,000) and Wanxian (population=140,000) will be flooded. 2. Ancient temples, burial grounds and other historic sites will be lost beneath the reservoir too. 3. Over 1.3 million people will have to be relocated. 4. Much of the land used for resettlement is over 800m above sea level, where the climate is colder and the soil can barely support farming. 5. The pressure created by the huge weight of the water in the reservoir behind the dam could trigger earthquakes. (But it is engineered to withstand an earthquake of 7.0 on the Richter scale.) 6. The untreated human and industrial waste will not be washed away downstream, but will stay and pollute the river instead. 7. Areas downstream will be deprived of fertile sediment. 8. It will divert money from other developments. It is currently one of the most expensive projects in the world, costing more than $26 billion, over their budget. Financing Construction Cost & Time Completion Benefits/Advantages/Positive Effects 1. Control flooding downstream of the dam. 2. Provides water to urban areas and for agriculture-irrigation. The reservoir can store up to 5 trillion gallons of water. 3. The HEP generated will provide 15% of Chinas electricity demand. 4. This will decrease Chinas dependency on coal and therefore reduce greenhouse gas emission. 5. Thousands of construction jobs were created during the building of the dam. 6. China will be able to bring 10,000 ton ocean going vessels all the way inland, 2000km up to the city of Chongqing. 7. The dam will become a tourist attraction and will attract a lot of people to the area. Many tertiary sector/service jobs will be created. 8. The electricity generated will help the economic development of cities such as Chongqing, population=3 million. Financing Construction Cost & Time Completion The giant and controversial Three Gorges Dam in China has launched the last of its generators, just as it hits its annual flood peak. The final 32 generators went into operation this week, making it the world's largest hydropower project, built on the Yangtze River in the Hubei Province. It is designed to decrease the risk of flooding during the current peak rainfall season, as well as store and distribute water during the dry periods. A series of incredible photos show the sheer force of the flood water released from seven spillways after heavy downpours in the upper reaches of the dam caused the highest flood peak of the year. Water from the Yangtze River upper gushed at up 70,000 cubic meters per second into the dam's reservoir yesterday. 25 July, 2012 on dailymail.co.uk Reference: 1.https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=9&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CEQQFjAI&url=http%3A %2F%2Fwww.undp-alm.org%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2Fdownloads%2Fsession_9_-_mendelsohn.ppt&ei=g2P2U- DBKYiyuATd8YKQBw&usg=AFQjCNHFwGl3Ljd2BG7p-QLwTr7K5wtqLw&bvm=bv.73373277,d.c2E 2. http://www.cgee.hamline.edu/rivers/Resources/river_profiles/journey/dam.html 3. http://civilization.wikia.com/wiki/Three_Gorges_Dam_(Civ4) 4. http://www.power-technology.com/projects/gorges/ 5. http://en.wwfchina.org/?3620/Three-Gorges-Dam-changes-water-regulations-to-help-Chinese-carp-propagation 6. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2178951/Three-Gorges-Worlds-powerful-dam-opens-China-gushing-water- generates-power-15-nuclear-reactors.html 7. http://www.china-embassy.org/eng/zt/sxgc/t36515.htm 8. http://www.businessinsider.com/chinas-enormous-three-gorges-dam-is-turning-out-to-be-a-huge-mistake-2012-4?IR=T 9. http://worldwater.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/22/2013/07/WB03.pdf 10. http://www.econedlink.org/lessons/index.php?lid=347&type=afterschool 11. http://www.chinainstitutemedia.org/china360online/china360online/multiple-perspectives-on-the-three-gorges-dam-2/ 12. http://journal.probeinternational.org/2006/02/25/three-gorges-dam-factsheet/ 13. http://prezi.com/vh9fnbxc_m1d/construction-timeline-three-gorges-dam/ 14. http://learning.royallatin.bucks.sch.uk/file.php/908/3_Gorges_Dam_revision_notes.pdf 15. http://www.chinadam.com/dam/facts.htm
