World Largest Dam-The Gorges Dam

                                                             Largest Dam The Gorges Dam

Hello friend today I am come with a new topic which the world largest dam-The Gorges Dam. And today's blog I am talk about some interesting facts of this dam.  So let's get started.

So first of all I am talk about the history of this dam and that are:- A large dam across the Yangtze river of China was originally envisioned by Sun yet-sen in The International Development of China, in 1919.He started that a dam capable of generating 30 million horsepower (22 GM) was possible downstream of the Three Gorges. In 1932, the Nationalist government, led by Chiang Kai-Shek began preliminary work on plans in the Three Gorges. n 1932,the Nationalist government led by Chiang Kai-shek, began preliminary work on plans in the Three Gorges. In 1939, Japanise military forces occupied Yichang and surveyed the area. A design, the Iranian plan was completed for the dam in anticipation of Japanese victory over China. 

And now let's talk about the Importance of this dam. So let's get started:- The Three Gorges dam is a hydroelectric dam that spans the Yangtze River by the town of Sandouping located in Timing District Yichang, Hybrid province, China. The Three Gorges Dam is the world largest power station in terms of installed capacity (22500 MW). In 2012, the amount of electricity the dam generated was similar to the amount generated by the Itaipu Dam. 
                                                                                                         Except for a ship lift, the dam project was completed and completed and fully functional as of July 4,2012, when the last of the main turbines in the underground plant began production. Each main turbine has a capacity of 700 MW. The dam body was completed in 2006. Coupling the dam's 32 main turbines with two smaller generators (50M W each) to power the plant itself, the total electricity generating capacity of the dam is 22500MW. 

               As well as producing electricity, the dam is intended to increased the Yangtze River's shipping capacity and reduce the potential for floods downstream by providing flood storage space.  The Chinese government regards the project as a historic engineering, social and economic success, with the design of state-of-the-art large turbines,  and a move towards limiting greenhouse gas emissions. However the dam flooded archaeological and cultural sites and displaced some 1.3 million people,  and is causing significant ecological changes,  including an increased risk of landslide. The dam has been a controversial topic both domestically and abroad.
