The 25 pages that link to Three Gorges Dam, each with the reason it gives.

• HydroelectricityBroader topic: Its enormous generating capacity and social and environmental effects exemplify the trade-offs of mega-dams.

• Yangtze RiverRelated: The dam makes the river a major source of electricity and helps control some floods.

• SichuanRelated: The Yangtze connects Sichuan’s upstream geography to major downstream infrastructure.

• Jiang ZeminRelated: Construction advanced under Jiang-era governments despite displacement and environmental concerns.

• ChongqingRelated: Its reservoir reaches toward Chongqing and altered river navigation and settlement downstream.

• Yangtze River floodsRelated: Its reservoir stores water and changes downstream flood timing and peaks.

• HubeiBroader topic: The dam generates electricity, controls some flooding, and reshaped Hubei’s western river valley.

• Dongting LakeRelated: Its regulation of Yangtze flows affects water levels and sediment reaching the lake.

• Poyang LakeRelated: Its reservoir operations are among the human influences studied in relation to downstream lake levels.

• Hydroelectric damBroader topic: Its scale illustrates the electricity, flood-control, and resettlement consequences of a major dam.

• Three GorgesRelated: Its reservoir inundated parts of the gorge region and altered river navigation.

• Three Gorges ReservoirRelated: Its gates and turbines regulate the reservoir’s level and downstream flow.

• Yangtze River basinBroader topic: Its reservoir stores and releases water within the basin's central trunk.

• Yangtze River shippingBroader topic: Its locks raise vessels across the dam and its reservoir alters upstream navigation.

• Flood control in ChinaBroader topic: Its reservoir can reduce some downstream flood peaks, but storage must be balanced against power and navigation.

• Li PengBroader topic: Li strongly promoted the project, which became a defining infrastructure ambition of his career.

• Rogun DamCompared with: Its immense generating capacity offers a comparison, while Rogun is designed to exceed it in height.

• Akosombo DamCompared with: Its scale and displacement make it a useful comparison with Akosombo’s costs and benefits.

• Jialing RiverRelated: It alters the downstream river system into which the Jialing flows.

• Xiling GorgeRelated: The dam stands at the gorge’s western end and reshaped its downstream river landscape.

• YangtzeBroader topic: It generates power and regulates flows on a major middle-river reach.

• YichangRelated: The dam lies near Yichang and anchors the city’s role in river engineering and tourism.

• Smallwood ReservoirCompared with: It illustrates a dam-centered megaproject, unlike Smallwood’s extensive system of dams and dikes.

• Yangtze DeltaRelated: It traps sediment upstream, contributing to reduced sediment delivery to the lower river and coast.

• Yangtze PlainRelated: Its reservoir alters downstream flows and sediment supply affecting the plain.
