What are the difficulties and problems encountered in the construction of the Three Gorges Dam?

1992 March 16 At the Fifth Session of the Seventh National People's Congress, someone submitted "the State Council's Proposal for the Construction of the Three Gorges Project". 1On September 27th, 993, the State Council approved the establishment of China Three Gorges Project Development Corporation (hereinafter referred to as China Three Gorges Corporation) to be responsible for the construction and follow-up work of the Three Gorges Project. 1994 12 14 the construction of the three Gorges dam was officially started and completed on may 20, 2006.

There are three main difficulties in the construction of the Three Gorges Dam: fund raising, engineering construction and land acquisition and resettlement.

Lack of funds is the main problem in the demonstration and decision-making stage of the Three Gorges Project, and it is also the key factor restricting the development of hydropower resources in China. According to experts, the basic experience of the financing of the Three Gorges Project is to make full use of national policy support, absorb the achievements of system reform and innovation in time, and dynamically adjust the financing strategy according to the changes of domestic and foreign capital markets and financing environment, so as to resolve risks and reduce costs. First use state capital and policy bank loans, and then use the capital market to increase the market financing share. For example, it has issued four Three Gorges bonds with financing of10 billion yuan.

The construction of the Three Gorges Dam will face many technical problems. Because the dam to be built is between two rugged mountains, and the mountains are asymmetrical from left to right, one side is a protruding mountain, and the other side is a semi-convex arc mountain, which increases the construction difficulty of the Three Gorges Dam, and what bothers the chief engineer is that the Yangtze River to be built is fast-flowing, wide in section and deep in water. Fortunately, chief engineer Li led his team to overcome difficulties step by step and finally successfully built the Three Gorges Dam.

In order to build the Three Gorges Dam, large-scale resettlement projects must be promoted. According to statistics, the number of immigrants needed by the Three Gorges Dam is as high as 1 1300, making the Three Gorges Dam the reservoir project with the largest number of immigrants in the world. Influenced by China's farming culture, China people have moved to other places since ancient times and pay attention to returning to their roots. It is unacceptable that many people, especially the elderly, have left their homes in order to build the Three Gorges. At the same time, how to resettle these immigrants in the future is also a big problem.

Generally speaking, the completion of the Three Gorges Dam experienced sadness, sweat and tears. The construction of the Three Gorges Dam has ensured the safety of the people in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and has made great contributions to the future.
