  6. Final Ride on Yangtze River Rapids? How do you feel after watching this clip? Is China justified in creating so many massive dams? Why or why not? In other areas where rivers flow through several different countries, is a country upstream justified in building a dam to provide water (or electricity) for its people? What would you do if you were a country downstream of a massive project? What steps do you think need to be followed when considering to build a dam or diversion on a river?
