Three Gorges Dam
China had been trying to build a dam across Yellow River for flood control.
Since dont know when... this project has been rised by different dynasties but no one dare to challenge natural due to the lack of technology.
Different dynasties had tried they best to reduce the anger of this river. Once its angry, flood will destroy homes and farms. Corrupted officials claimed they could managed to control this river and requested for funds to build dams but they pocketed the money.
In 1919, Mr Sun Zhongshan proposed the building of this dam. In 1993, construction starts. The dam will be completed by this saturday but fully functional in 2009.
I was wondering if the building of this dam will bring in pros or cons cos it destroys e environment of Three Gorges.
Anyway the project costs US$10billion excluding gifts and tea money. heheee
1 use of the dam which is not stated official is "水淹七军"
History fans... u should know wat i meant
