Yangtze River Dam

The Yangtze River Dam, known as the Three Gorges Dam, is a massive hydroelectric project in China built across the Yangtze River. It generates electricity by harnessing the river’s flowing water, acting like a giant underwater power plant. The dam also helps control flooding, improve river navigation, and provide renewable energy. It’s one of the world’s largest hydropower stations, with a reservoir that stores water and a dam structure that includes turbines and generators. While it offers significant benefits, it also raised concerns about environmental impact, displacement of communities, and ecological changes in the region.
