Three Gorges Dam (reservoir project)

The Three Gorges Dam is a massive hydroelectric project on China's Yangtze River, designed to generate electricity and control flooding. It features a large concrete wall with turbines that convert flowing water into electricity, supplying power to millions. The dam also creates a huge reservoir that helps manage river levels and reduce flood risks downstream. While it provides renewable energy and improved navigation, the project has environmental and social impacts, such as habitat alteration and displacement of communities. Overall, it is one of the world's largest and most complex hydroelectric infrastructure projects.
