Introduction

The Three Gorges Dam also termed as TGD is considered as one of the largest water project of China. This project was famous as in the history of the world as well. Like it is famous it was also being controversial because of numerous factors like economic impact, massive environmental impact and the social impacts. The Three Gorges Dam is positioned at the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and hence known as a significant comprehensive Hydropower project. This project is an incredible project which affects the ecological environment and shows the impact on the downstream survival of animals. The Dongting Lake is one of the largest lake that join the Yangtze River and the three gorges dam is basically stretched two kilometers more than across the greatest river i.e. Yangtze. The name termed as three gorges because of the reason that the three gorges named as Xiling, Wu and Qutang which are consider as most scenic landscape and the three gorges of designed by immense limestone cliffs.

This Dam is present in Sandouping town, at the middle section of Xiling Gorge. The dam is around 200 m in height and also 40 million cubic meter in volume. It created reservoir of 600 km in length with the storage capacity of same volume. The project is approved officially on 3 April 1992 by the National People’s Congress and hence on December 14, 1994 formally the construction started. Hence in 2003 the first electricity produced and finally in 2006, almost the working of dam was completed. As with the detailing of project, it is analyzed that the maximum number of water behind the dam was likely to occur around 2008. In October 18 2006, at the north side of the dam around 14 generators had already installed and with their result they extended to the capacity approx. 9,800MWe later the water level raised to around 156 meters. By the end of 2007, the 7 generators was completed at the south side. At the same time around 2007, the turbines are generated i.e. 62 billion kWhr of electricity which is considered as the two-third of the major level used by the complete project.
