THE THREE GORGES DAM PROJECT, CHINA Saturday,
May 20, 2006 257 AM EDT, The Associated
Press BEIJING (AP) ? Construction crews finished
the dam of the world's largest hydroelectric
project on Saturday, state media reported. The
construction of the 607-foot high, 1.4-mile long
dam across the Yangtze River does not fully
complete the hugely controversial Three Gorges
Dam project. The last 12 of the dam's 26
generators are to be installed over the next two
years, said the China Yangtze River Three Gorges
Project Development Corp. The project is set to
be completed in 2008, a year ahead of
schedule. Begun in 1993, the project has steamed
ahead with the backing of the communist
leadership despite objections to its 22 billion
cost and environmental and social impact. More
than 1.3 million people have been relocated to
make way for the dam and its reservoir. Environmen
talists and engineers have warned that the
reservoir risks becoming polluted with waste from
cities and towns upriver, many of which lack
adequate sewage treatment plants.
