The favorable conditions for Yichang to develop electric power industry

The favorable condition for Yichang to develop electric power industry is that there are abundant and cheap hydropower nearby. Yichang has the Yangtze River flowing through it, and it is located at the end of the upstream, with a large amount of water and a large upstream drop. The dam will not flood many places for a long time. The backward mountainous areas in the upper reaches are vast and sparsely populated, and the amount of immigrants before impoundment is much smaller than that in the middle and lower reaches, so the hydropower industry is developed.
