Flood Control of Three Gorges Project and the Sustainable Development
The Three Gorges Project (TGP) on the Yangtze River (YR) is the largest hydro - power project in the worlds it is now attracting the world wide attention. Possessing comprehensive utilization benefits mainly for flood control, power generation and navigation improvement, TGP will be a vital important and backbone project in harnessing and developing of the YR. The Project is primarily aimed at flood control. After completion the reservoir will have a total storage capacity of 39. 3 billion m3, among which 22.15 billion m3 for flood control. The flood control standard in Jingjiang reaches of the YR in Hubei Province could be raised from less than 10 - year frequency to 100 - year frequency. In case a flood like 1870 happened, large amount of life losses could be avoided. TGP will improve an environment for living and further development in this densely populated and economically developed area where there are many cities and towns with 15 million population and 1. 53 million hectares fertilized farmland. TGP would accelerate the economy, society, resources and environment mutual coordination and sustainable development in the YR basin as well as the Chinese economy rapid development.
