What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Three Gorges Dam in China?

In terms of flood control, the rainfall distribution in the southeast monsoon climate is very uniform. The construction of the Three Gorges Project has effectively improved the downstream flood control standards, and also effectively delayed the siltation of the Three Gorges Project on the Yangtze River, directly ensuring the safety of nearly 23 million mu of cultivated land and150,000 people in the downstream flood control system, as well as the power supply of the main arteries of the Beijing-Guangzhou and Beijing-Kowloon railways.

The total power generation is/kloc-0.05 billion kwh, which is located within the transmission distance of/kloc-0.000 km from the hinterland of China to major load centers in China. Develop and prosper the economy from both sides of the Yangtze River to the coastal areas. In addition, the Three Gorges Project will also greatly benefit the environment, the South-to-North Water Transfer Project and aquaculture.

Disadvantages:

Although the Three Gorges Dam claims to generate a lot of electricity, the hydropower station built on the tributary of the Yangtze River has reached the Three Gorges, and the huge power generation of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station is not as great as expected. The dam has affected the stability of the local geological foundation. Gravity has begun to erode the steep banks of the Yangtze River in several places, and frequent water level fluctuations have triggered a series of landslide disasters, which have also destroyed the geological structure near the dam. Only the danger of landslides increases the frequency of earthquakes. In terms of ecology, the construction of the Three Gorges Project will have an impact on local large-scale ecology, such as destroying local vegetation, and
