Life of Three Gorges Dam

Every reservoir has a design life, and the design life of ordinary reservoirs is about 50 to 100 years. The life-cycle design of the Three Gorges Project is designed according to the current level of understanding and the highest standards. Its life span is by no means fifty or seventy years, but any building has a life span, which is estimated to be at least several hundred years at present. Of course, hundreds of years later, people may find new ways to deal with floods and energy. At that time, the Three Gorges Project also completed its historical mission.
