Guidelines. Board Chairman Mr. CAO Guang-jing General Manager Mr. CHEN Fei Message from the Managers While the safe and clean energy has become a new engine driving the economic growth all over the world, China has initiated an energy policy prioritizing hydropower, optimizing thermal power, boosting nuclear power and promoting renewable energy power. Regarding “Building the Three Gorges Project and Developing the Yangtze River” as its mission, CTG focuses closely on the main task of hydropower development while actively developing renewable energies such as wind power, enhancing the kernel competence in the clean energy industry, accelerating the development of overseas hydropower market and paying more attention to the harmony with eco-environment. CTG is on its way to achieve its strategic goal to grow into a world-class large clean energy group. In 2010, the Three Gorges Project, for the first time, successfully actualized the goal of reservoir impounding test at 175m and stood up to extreme flood in the flood season. CTG made a breakthrough in the hydropower development of the lower part of the Jinsha River (the upstream section of the Yangtze River) and gained new progress in renewable energy development and overseas business. CTG conscientiously implemented the Hydropower Development Philosophy of “building a first-class hydropower plant to stimulate the growth of the local economy, improve the local environment, and benefit resettled residents” into every stage of project development and operation, being active in fulfilling its social responsibility, careful in protecting the eco-environment and working all-roundly for saving energy and reducing emission. CTG carried out the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for Baihetan Project and Wudongde Project and the resource and energy conservation plan lawfully. CTG strictly implemented the system of “Three Simultaneousness” in project environment protection and carefully applied all the measures in the EIA document for Xiangjiaba Project and Xiluodu Project, and conducted the regulation and operation of Three Gorges-Gezhouba Cascade in an environmentally friendly way for displaying the eco-environmental benefit of the project. The concept of ecological protection, energy saving and emission reduction has been followed in every step of CTG’s business. In the year 2011, CTG, on its way to become a world-class clean energy group, has been implementing the “Hydropower Development Philosophy” into its whole business field, trying to realize a win-win result in clean energy development and eco-environmental protection.

The project for the first time successfully passed the 175m reservoir impounding test. The flood peak in 2010, which was bigger than that of 1998, was reduced to 30,000m3/s from 70,000m3/s, tremendously alleviating the flood pressure on the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. In 2010, the power generation volume of the Three Gorges-Gezhouba Cascade was 100,611 GW·h, water supplementation for the downstream areas in dry seasons numbered 12.19 billion m3, and the total freight volume through the project exceeded 80 million tons. In 2010, the construction of Xiangjiaba Project and Xiluodu Project on Jinsha River all went into the busiest phase of concrete pouring, metal structures setting and mechanical-electric facilities installing. The pre-feasibility reports of Baihetan Project and Wudongde Project have been approved by National Reform and Development Commission (NDRC), and the Orders of “Closing Project-area” have been issued for both projects. Main projects Three Gorges Project The Three Gorges Project was started on December 14th, 1994. The river closure was successfully implemented on November 8th, 1997. In 2003, three main objects were achieved, namely the impoundment of phase II project, navigation and power generation. In 2009, the preliminary designed construction of the project was completed in time, except the ship lift which was postponed with the approval of the Central Government. In 2010, the Project passed the 175m reservoir- impounding test. The project brought its functions for flood control, drought relief, power generation, navigation and water supply into full play. The total installed capacity numbered 22,500 MW with an annual power generation of 88,200 GW·h. Gezhouba Project The Gezhouba Project, Completed in 1988, is a re-regulation reservoir and navigation cascade of the Three Gorges Project with an installed capacity of 2,715 MW and an annual power generation of 15,700 GW·h.

  • Determination of the Velocity and Direction of Groundwater Seepage in Monitoring Wells Around Three-Gorges of the Yangtze River
    Journal of Water Resource and Hydraulic Engineering Sept . 2016 , Vol. 5 Iss. 3, PP. 133-139 Determination of the Velocity and Direction of Groundwater Seepage in Monitoring Wells around Three-Gorges of the Yangtze River Using Isotope Tracing Method REN Hong-wei 1, LIU Yao-wei 1, ZHANG Lei 1 1Key Laboratory of Crustal Dynamics, Institute of Crustal Dynamics, CEA, Beijing, China [email protected] Abstract-In order to investigate whether the groundwater moving state is affected after Three Gorges Reservoir impoundment, this study tested the velocity and direction of the groundwater seepage in the monitoring wells around Three Gorges Dam using the method of isotope tracing, and gained good results. Test results showed that the groundwater seepage directions in Gaojiaxi well (W1) and Hanjiawan well (W4) are respectively 25°east by south and 2° south by east, according with the previous hydro-geological inference. These indicated that the groundwater seepage directions around the Three Gorges Dam are not affected significantly after reservoir impoundment. The groundwater seepage velocities in W1 and W4 wells are respectively 0.72m/d and 1.29m/d. There is small difference between them and this may be related to the tectonic setting of the two wells. Keywords- Isotope Tracing; Seepage Velocity; Seepage Direction; The Three-Gorges of the Yangtze River I. INTRODUCTION Three Gorges Project(TGP) is the largest hydraulic key project in the world today, including flood control, power generation, shipping and water supply. It is of great promoting significance for the stable development of social economy. Recently, the continuous drought in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the extreme weather events such as sharp turn from drought to flood in part countries occur, and these raise again the debate of the advantages and disadvantages of TGP.
