China’s Three Gorges Dam faces severe flooding as Yangtze overflows [video]
- mytailorisrich 6y agoThe Yangtze is notorious for overflowing and the geography does not help. If you visit towns along its course you are struck by the huge safety margin between the level of the water (on a normal day) and the height of the first buildings, and with the size of the protective dikes. I'm sure that this has been considered when they built the Dam.
