[quote=ICEBERG,249508]According to Xinhua news, China high level officals and experts attended a meeting to discuss how to protect the environment around Three Gorges. They warned that China would face a catastrophe if it fails to take measures to solve the environmental problems caused by Three Gorges Dam.

China has spent 15 year to construct the Three Gorges Dam. Each year, the power generation of the dam is as much as 50 million coals that produces. It can also decrease about 0.1 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions. However, it has caused some environmental problems since last year. Landslide, water loss and earth erosion and other natural disasters frequently happen in the Three Gorges area. These are the side-effects of the Three Gorges Dam.

In recent years, China has invested about 12 billion yuan to deal with the natural disasters in this area. About 1500 manufacturing ventures have been shut down or been relocated. What's more, about 70 thousand people have been resettled. Also 70 sewage disposal and waste treatment plants have been set up.

The Three Gorges Dam has brought many economic benefits while it also has imposed negative effect on the ecological environment. China's government should not win the economic boom by sacrificing the environment. Hope more measures can be adopted to prevent the environmental problems.[/quote]
