The dam just went on and on. It was huge..1.4 miles across. It is the largest Hydroelectric dam in the world. The water level is low currently in the upstream Yangtze but will rise 90-100 ft in the next few months as usual. One might think that the dam was built for the hydroelectric energy but that wasn't the reason. This 14 year project was mainly done to create a reservoir to contain the massive rising flood waters of the Yangtze which flooded and killed people every 10 years for two millennia.
