Uncovering China’s Impregnable Fortifications To Protect Its 250 Billion RMB Super Dam

#china #chinanews #project #ukraine Recently, the flood disaster caused by the bombing of the “Novo Kakhovka Dam“ in Ukraine has shocked people all over the world. Flooding from this disaster submerged more than 80 towns and villages and forced the evacuation of 40,000 people downstream, creating a horrific humanitarian disaster. At the same time, this incident also sounded the emergency alarm to protect the safety of the dam to the whole world. However, in China, there is a super hydropower station that cost 250 billion yuan to build. It took 15 years to build the hydropower station, with a maximum water storage capacity of 39.3 billion cubic meters. It is the Three Gorges Hydropower Station. The Three Gorges Dam is one of the largest infrastructure projects invested in China’s history, with an average annual power generation of about 100 billion kWh, equivalent to the electricity consumption of 1,200 Chinese households. At the same time, the Three Gorges Dam is a super dam integrating flood control, power generation, shipping, and water resource utilization. Some media once predicted that if the Three Gorges Dam is attacked and blown up, the middle and lower reaches will be flooded with tens of billions of cubic meters of water, and hundreds of millions of people will be affected. So, if war broke out and the Three Gorges Dam was blown up, how much harm would it do to China? In general, how does China protect the safety of the dam? ---------------------------------------------------------------------
