The Three Gorges Project won 1 12 the highest in the world, integrating three functions of flood control, power generation and shipping, and integrating seven benefits of aquaculture, tourism, ecological protection, environmental purification, development and resettlement, South-to-North Water Diversion Project and water supply irrigation, and is listed as one of the super projects in the world. The Three Gorges Project officially started on199465438+February 14. On May 20th, 2006, the main project of the Three Gorges Dam was completed, and the projects of the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Water Resources and the Ministry of Water Resources were completed in June, 2008 and October, 2020. The Three Gorges Project consists of three parts: the dam, the hydropower station and the navigation structure. Among them, the total length of the river dam is 2,309 meters, the crest elevation is 185 meters, the normal water level is 175 meters, the controlled watershed area is1800,000 square kilometers, the total storage capacity is 39.3 billion cubic meters, and the flood control storage capacity is 221500,000 cubic meters, which is equivalent to the storage capacity of four flood storage areas. There are 34 hydro-generator sets installed in the hydropower station, with a total installed capacity of 22.5 million kilowatts and an average annual power generation of 88.2 billion kWh. The ship lock in navigation structure is a five-class ship lock, which can pass a fleet of 50,000 tons and a ship lift can quickly pass a passenger and cargo ship of 3,000 tons.
