The Three Gorges Dam
Why
18,000-Megawatt Turbine Target
How
-
Twenty-six turbines (scheduled for operation in 2008) are designed to produce more than 18,000 megawatts of electricity
-
44,000 Tons of Cargo Passed Dam Last Year
How
the dam will be a boost for Yangtze River trade, which accounts for some 80 percent of China's inland shipping
-
-
-
300,000 Killed in 20th-Century Floods
How
Officials believe that the dam will protect some 15 million people from such deadly waters, as well as 1.5 million acres (607,000 hectares) of farmland
-
-
-
Who/What
-
the reservoir's water level is presently 456 feet (139 meters) above sea level, and it's expected to rise quickly. The 410-mile-long (660-km-long) reservoir will eventually be flooded to 574 feet (175 meters) above sea level.

will flood about 244 square miles (632 square kilometers) of land—including well over a thousand towns and villages
