The construction of the Three Gorges Dam faced several significant problems, including massive displacement of local populations, with over a million residents relocated due to flooding of their homes and farmland. Environmental concerns also arose, such as the loss of biodiversity, changes in local ecosystems, and increased sedimentation in the reservoir. Additionally, geological issues like landslides and seismic risks posed threats to the dam's stability and safety. Lastly, the project faced criticism over its economic viability and the potential for exacerbating regional inequalities.
Around 30,000 workers were employed during the peak construction period of the Three Gorges Dam project. Additionally, it involved engineers, technicians, and various professionals contributing to its construction over the years.

Construction started on December 14, 1994
In 1994 physical preparations began. The dam was completed in 2009.
The cost of the Three Gorges Dam is being borne by the Chinese people under the Three Gorges Dam Construction Fund, and from profits from sale of power from the Gezhouba Dam. There are also large sums derived from policy loans from the China Development Bank, commercial loans from domestic and foreign banks, corporate bonds, and revenue from the sale of power from Three Gorges Dam itself, as it has begun to generate power though it is not yet in full operation.
China Three Gorges University was created in 2000.

China Three Gorges Corporation was created on 1993-09-27.
The Three Gorges Dams were made of concrete.
The construction of the Three Gorges Dam began in 1994 and was completed in 2006, taking approximately 12 years to build. It is one of the largest and most complex engineering projects in the world, located on the Yangtze River in China.
