Create a vast reservoir

# data[].attributes.body
Too much destruction during the construction.

# data[].attributes.body
There are too many risks and the probability of causalities is a high percentage.

# data[].attributes.body
It would produce 22.5 gigawatts of power each year.

# data[].attributes.body
ruined perfectly arable land, moved farmers to less arable land

# data[].attributes.body
The dam was built on a fault line and an earthquake could cause the dam to collapse causing tons of debris to float downriver.

# data[].attributes.body
Causes serious environmental damage

# data[].attributes.body
56% increase in landslide activity

# data[].attributes.body
it would cause environmental damage

# data[].attributes.body
It would employ 40,000 workers. for years and years.

# data[].attributes.body
-Provides 22.5 gigawatts a year
-(Supposed) to control flooding
-Employed 40,000 workers
-Allow boats to come through easier

# data[].attributes.body
The risks it causes affect everyone. From plants to animals, to us.

# data[].attributes.body
The Dam is built over two fault lines. It could be highly unstable.

# data[].attributes.body
Cubic tons of sediment being trapped behind the dam causing the soil upriver to receve less nutrients and become less arable.

# data[].attributes.body
Building another dam would be bad because it would displace millions of farmers. The Yangtze river floods every year which destroyed farms and others properties. The river also dumps 250 billion tons of raw sewage every year

# data[].attributes.body
Farmers would loose their valuable agriculture.

# data[].attributes.body
ruined irreplaceable cultural cites

# data[].attributes.body
Pollution from the silt that can build up and pollute the water.

# data[].attributes.body
129 towns, villages and cities drowned underwater causing the displacement of 1.2 million and a possibility of an additional 5 million people who are at risk of the dam flooding their region.

# data[].attributes.body
Bad: displaced 1.2 million people who haven't really been repaid, lost historical sites
Good: employ 40,000 workers for 20 years, produces 22.5 gigawatts each year

# data[].attributes.body
Provide hydroelectric energy to central China

# data[].attributes.body
It is good because it keeps it from flooding, and it also produces a clean renewable source of hydroelectric power. However it could be bad because even though there are lots of jobs that come into this but when it is done then people lose jobs.

# data[].attributes.body
There will, however, be major destruction sites.

# data[].attributes.body
Destruction of Farms and property

# data[].attributes.body
22.5 gigawatts per year

# data[].attributes.body
All the flood waters will have control on it.

# data[].attributes.body
Drowns 560 species of plants and archaeological history under 50 meters of water. Government said that they would give time to excavate the fossils but this never happened.

# data[].attributes.body
instead of using coal and other energy sources they you natural energy that could help out the land but it also distroyed irreplaceable cultural sites and displaced millions of people

# data[].attributes.body
It would cause serious environmental damage.

# data[].attributes.body
produces 1/9 of energy china uses

# data[].attributes.body
i think the three gorges dam  is good because it gives china more energy and it keeps the river from flooding destroying houses and crops

# data[].attributes.body
It took longer than expected. "Was completed 18 years later.... its far from over."

# data[].attributes.body
"Costs so much money that would take 60 years of energy to repay the cost," says a source.

# data[].attributes.body
It will produce clean renewable source of hydroelectric power and energy.

# data[].attributes.body
The flood waters are controlled

# data[].attributes.body
*Causes destruction, displacement, pollution, and loss of cultural heritage.
*Force farmers to leave crops
*Cause landslides and erosion
* stopped ships from coming through
-control flooding
-provide hydroelectric power
- hired 40,000 workers

# data[].attributes.body
The dam displaced millions of people, caused serious damage, destroy irreplaceable cultural sites. Also the goal/promises of the dam have not been fulfilled. There has still been flooding, landslides

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is good because it will answer the problems to water use and energy supply. Another reason I think it is a good thing is because there are more positives than negatives. For example, some of the only bad things they talk about is wildlife, jobs and people being displaced, and pollution. While on the other hand there are so many good things about the dam. For example, some of the good things that they talk about include containing and controlling floodwaters,lets boats through, and government planned to ensure that they had land and work in their new homes

# data[].attributes.body
they displaced 1.2 million people

# data[].attributes.body
The Three Gorges Dam can emply over 40,000 workers. In my opinion, that is a major number of jobs for people.

# data[].attributes.body
It provides hydroelectric energy to central China, and an answer to problems of water use and energy supply.

# data[].attributes.body
provides hydroelectric power to central China.

# data[].attributes.body
Control flooding

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is good because it will answer the problem with water use and energy supply.

# data[].attributes.body
Displacement of millions of farmers to non- arable land is taking their life supply of food away.

# data[].attributes.body
- causes a lot pollution
-environmental damage
- destroys cultural sites
- displaced people from their homes
-it flooded farmland, so farmers have to try and grow crop on not arable land
-destroyed habitats for endangered animals
-put under water 13 cities and 1,300 villages
-having problems controlling flooding/ has its faults
-brought up lots of controversies that can divide people
