Advantages
-
Flood control
The Yangtze River regularly floods killing thousands of people, destroying everything for miles.
Disadvantages
-
Pollution
The dam has caused islands of floating garbage and carpets of algae in the reservoir. This would normally have been carried along the water but as it stops moving it just stays there.
Sediment also causes problems as many species of fish can not breathe in muddy water and therefore are endangered. The Baiji has already become extinct because of this.
earthquakes
The dam was built on an earthquake danger zone and if there was to be an earthquake, the effects would be fatal. There have already been reports of cracks in the dam wall and the amount of water stored in the reservoir has already increased the chances of earthquakes or landslides.
economic
advantage
Tourism
The dam brings a lot of money into the country as tourists want to see the biggest hydroelectric dam in the world
