Three Gorges Dam
Monumental works of civil engineering undertaken by Chinese emperors, often at the cost of tens of thousands of lives, are strewn across Chinas landscape and history alike. The Qin organized the Great WaIl and the Ming re-routed it and clad thousands of kilometres with stone, the Sui built the great canal network of the Imperial Highway, and various emperors constructed labyrinthine palaces and vast mausoleums, principal tourist attractions today. Chinas modern leaders have not been slow to conceive super-projects of their own, although cement has replaced stone, and the raw muscle power of thesurpIus agricultural laborers known as the army of sticks has been partly supplemented by machines. The greatest of these projects is undoubtedly the new San Xia (Three Gorges) Dam, a 17--year, US$70 billion operation involving the transporta1ion of more than ten billion cubic metres (350 billion cubic feet)of rock and earth and the displacement of over 1 million people from the 60,000hectares of Iand which will gradually be flooded by the resulting 640-kilometre(397-mile) long reservoir. The dam is located near the mouth of the lowest of the Three Gorges, where the current was divided in two by an island. In November l997, the first stage was completed with the blocking of two-thirds of the rivers width. The waterleaves had risen l8 metres (59 feet) by the end of l998, will rise a further 52metres (171 feet) by 2003, 30 metres (98 feet) more up to 2009, and a final ten metres (33 feet) that year, when the dam will come into operation. Smaller ships will use a single stage lift, and larger ones a stair of five locks. The waters in the Three Gorges will rise a total of l l0 metres (36l feet), gradua1ly changing the scenery forever. The chief justifications offered for so much dislocation and destruction are twofold: the production of l8,200 megawatts of electricity, and the ending of frequently disastrous flooding of cities and farmland along the Yangtze. For centuries Chinas rivers have been a source both of immense fertility and massive destruction. Silt--Iaden, they can change course abruptly, and need ever higher levees to Testrain them. In heavy rains they burst through, often with great loss of life. ln restraining the river the Communists are again trying to take their place in history--figures who were even partially successful in flood control for the emperors are so revered as to have joined the Daoist (Taoist)pantheon.Tel : +82ㆍ2ㆍ755ㆍ5470 | Fax : +82ㆍ2ㆍ6280ㆍ5469 | E-mail : fides@fidestravel.co.kr
