Excerpt

The Three Gorges Project is a key project for China to develop and control the Yangtze River, and it is currently one of the largest hydro-engineering projects in the world. The Three Gorges Dam (TGD) is located in the Yichang City of Hubei Province and controls a catchment area of 1 million km2 which accounts for 56% of the Yangtze River basin area. After the completion of the TGD, the interception and impoundment formed an “artificial lake” in the Yangtze River Valley, known as the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR). The TGR lies in midlatitude region (28°32′N–31°44′N, 105°44′N–111°39′N) with a river length of 667 km and a total water surface area of 1084 km2 (Fig. 1). Under the normal storage water level of 175 m a.s.l. and the flood control water level of 145 m a.s.l., the TGR has a total storage capacity of 39.3 billion m3 and a flood control capacity of 22.15 billion m3. The TGR is situated in a subtropical humid monsoon climate with an annual mean temperature of 16.6 °C and an annual mean rainfall of 1124.5 mm. The rainfall in the TGR area is most intensive from April to October, counting for roughly 80% of annual total rainfall.
