Summary In April 1992, China's National People's Congress (npc) formally approved the "Resolution on the Construction of the Yangtze River Three Gorges Project," marking the conclusion of decades of controversy within the Chinese leadership in favor of supporters of the world's biggest-ever river dam project. Despite strenuous government attempts to muzzle the debate, almost one-third of the normally compliant npc delegates, in an unprecedented display of legislative dissent, either abstained or cast opposition votes. The following year, a pilot project for the resettlement of an estimated 1.1 to 1.6 million inhabitants of the proposed 600-kilometer-long reservoir area drew to a close and, in early 1994, the full resettlement program began in earnest. By mid-year, excavation and preparation of the dam's foundations were underway at Sandouping, the chosen dam site just downstream of the world-famous Three Gorges scenic area; in December, Premier Li Peng formally declared the project open. The Chinese government has offered overseas manufacturers US$3 billion worth of machinery and equipment contracts and will reportedly seek an additional US$5 billion or so in overseas funding for the project. International tendering has already begun for a preliminary range of dam-related construction contracts.

Abstract China’s energy demands have been growing exponentially since the early 1980s, impacting the global environment and economy. China is already the world’s largest producer and consumer of energy, and as it continues to urbanize and develop its electricity demand is projected to more than double by 2040. China’s energy consumption will not continue its rapid growth forever; its population growth and energy demand are expected to level off by 2040.

  • Wivenhoe: a Dam Designed to Fail and Decimate Brisbane
    Wivenhoe: A Dam Designed to Fail and Decimate Brisbane Figure 1: Wivenhoe Dam with Fuse Plugs at left and gates at right. With a Solution So That Won't Happen by Ken Shaw 4 April 2011 Wivenhoe: A Dam Designed to Fail and Decimate Brisbane: With a Solution So That Won't Happen 2. Questions for the Commission One question for the Commission is what to do about floods like that which has just happened to Brisbane, and how to prevent them. But the larger question for the Commission is how to protect Brisbane from looking like Grantham as a result of a cataclysmic Dam-Burst-Tsunami-Flood-Wave following the failure of Wivenhoe. Such a flood would not be like the Brisbane Flood of January 2011. It would flow at 10 times the speed of the Brisbane Flood of January 2011, and would arrive in a wall of water many metres high. A wall of water which would smash everything in its path. That's why the word "flood" is not an adequate description. I'm calling it a Dam-Burst-Tsunami-Flood-Wave. The failure of Wivenhoe is not something which will never happen. As Wivenhoe is currently designed, it will fail one day. The question is not if, but when? How many lives would be lost if we do nothing? What are we going to do to prevent that? 2 | P a g e W i v e n h o e Wivenhoe: A Dam Designed to Fail and Decimate Brisbane: With a Solution So That Won't Happen 3.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Diposit Digital de Documents de la UAB ORIENTATS-2006 ISSN 1696-4403 Marta Ponseti and Jordi López-Pujol The Three Gorges Dam Project in China: history and consequences Marta Ponseti (ESTRATS, Gestió del Patrimoni SL) and Jordi López-Pujol (Chinese Academy of Sciences) Abstract/ Resum/ Resumen After several decades of planning and deliberations, the Three Gorges Dam (Sanxia Daba, 三峡大坝 ) in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River (Central China), is near to be completed. It is expected that this mega-dam, which will harbor the largest hydropower plant in the world, will contribute to flood control in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, will solve the energetic scarcity of the region, and will improve the river navigability. Its construction, however, would also imply a series of severe negative consequences, such as the loss and fragmentation of many habitats and other effects on the wildlife, the loss of many archaeological and cultural sites, and the forced displacement of more than 1 million people. Després de diverses dècades de planificació i deliberacions, l’embassament de les Tres Gorges (Sanxia Daba, 三峡大坝 ), al curs alt del riu Iang-Tsé (Xina Central), és a punt de completar-se. S’espera que aquesta enorme presa, que comptarà amb la central hidroelèctrica més gran del món, pugui contribuir al control de les inundacions en el curs mitjà i baix del Iang-Tsé, solventi l’escassetat energètica de la regió, i millori la navegabilitat del riu.

  • The Three Gorges Dam: Grand Solution Or Arrogant Endeavor?
    Copyright 2014, The Concord Review, Inc., all rights reserved THE THREE GORGES DAM: GRAND SOLUTION OR ARROGANT ENDEAVOR? Rebecca Grace Cartellone For nearly a century, the idea of conquering the third- longest river in the world has held great appeal for the leaders of China. Recently, this vision has become a reality with the Three Gorges Dam, currently the world’s largest dam, and possibly its most controversial. The purposes of the dam, which has been built in Hubei province about halfway along the massive Yangtze River, are said to be the generation of clean, hydroelectric energy and the control of hazardous flooding. Additionally, the dam may serve to increase trade and navigation, as well as alleviate problems of water shortage. On the other hand, the structure brings a high risk of pollution and silt accumulation, which will in turn have a negative impact on the complex ecosystem of the river. The flood- ing of a major part of the Three Gorges region will, furthermore, cause China to lose a valuable part of its history, not to mention necessitating a large-scale relocation of more than 1.3 million resi- dents. However, the Chinese government, powerfully influenced by the ideals of past leader Mao Zedong, has largely ignored the major risks and negative effects of the project, instead painting an idyllic picture, calling the dam a triumph of man over nature and a symbol of the immense power of the country. Remnants Rebecca Grace Cartellone is at Columbia. When she was a Senior at Western Reserve Academy in Ohio, she wrote this paper for Dr.
