I visited Three Gorges Dam, as a part of the technical tour organized by the Cross Strait Water Resources Conference in late October. Photo to the left shows downstream face of the Three Gorges Dam. Rest of the photos that I took can be found in my water photo album.
The Three Gorges Dam is a hydroelectric dam that spans the Yangtze River in China. It is the world’s largest power station in terms of installed capacity (20,300 MW). Besides producing electricity, the dam was designed and constructed to increase the Yangtze River's shipping capacity, and reduce the potential for floods downstream by providing flood storage space.
