  14. Will the completion of the Three Gorges Dam on the upper Yangtze River help with flooding?

  15. Will generate electricity-clean & inexpensive A renewable energy source Will control flooding Can store river water in case of a drought Will improve transportation Requires the flooding of entire valleys & scenic areas Disrupts natural seasonal changes in the river Ecosystems can be destroyed Natural flooding cleans out silt The silt that washes downstream provides fertile soil Pros and Cons of the Three Gorges Dam

  16. Facts about the Three Gorges Dam“Future Wonder of the World” • When completed it will be the largest hydroelectric dam in the world • Will be more than 1 mile long • Will be almost 600 feet tall • Will cost about 24 billion dollars • 20 years construction time!!
