Three Gorges Dam Yangtze River

Описание: 🌊 The Three Gorges Dam: China's Mega-Project - Benefits & Challenges (IGCSE Geography)
The Three Gorges Dam is one of the world's most impressive engineering feats—but it’s not without controversy!

Join online teacher Amy as she breaks down the massive Three Gorges Dam project on the Yangtze River. Built for colossal hydropower generation and critical flood control, this dam is a key symbol of modern China.

In this video, you will learn quickly about:
The Mighty Yangtze River: Tracing its journey from the Himalayas through major cities like Chongqing, Wuhan, and Shanghai to the sea.

The Pros: How the project improved navigation, provided better infrastructure, reduced flash flooding, and created jobs.

The Cons & Controversies: Exploring the huge human cost, including the forced relocation of over 1 million people, the submerging of historical sites (now an underwater museum!), and potential geological impacts like triggered earthquakes and silt build-up.

Staggering Facts: From the dam’s immense size to its $37 billion cost and the planning that started way back in 1919.

This video is perfect for IGCSE Geography students studying large-scale infrastructure and its impacts, but anyone interested in Chinese history, engineering, or environmental issues will find this a fascinating and balanced overview.
