The three gorges dams.
The Three Gorges dam in China, the Hoover dam in America and the dam on the border between Brazil and Paraguay/Uruagay.
The Three Gorges Dams were made of concrete.
13 cites,140 towns and 1,350 villages were flooded from the Three Gorges Dams.
US $22.5 billion
The two largest dams in the world by volume are the Three Gorges Dam in China and the Itaipu Dam, which is located on the border of Brazil and Paraguay. The Three Gorges Dam, completed in 2012, has a total installed capacity of 22,500 megawatts, while the Itaipu Dam, completed in 1984, has an installed capacity of 14,000 megawatts. Both dams play significant roles in hydroelectric power generation and flood control.
A study by the World Commission on Dams placed China's large dam total at over 22,000-the most in the world. Large dams are those roughly four stories or taller. Most of China's were built after 1949. And as the study points out, that translates into one large dam built per day, every day since the emergence of modern China. Overall, China is believed to have more than 80,000 dams. Flood control and irrigation are China's top two purposes for building large dams like the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River and the Xiaolangdi Dam on the Yellow River. The United States has about 75,000 total dams (over 25 feet high). According to the Association of Dam Safety Officials the average number of dams per state is 1,800. Kansas leads all states with about 9,900 dams.
No, in fact, dams would collapse or crack in an event of an earthquake. Dams are built more to control floods, especially if they occur frequently and do destructive damage, just like why the Three Gorges Dam was built.
Most likely , Ehh , floods. (:
The longest river in China is the Yangtze. It is the longest river in Asia and the third longest in the world. It measures over 6,300 kilometers in length.
Their are many different dams across the world. A few dams that are famous are The Hoover Dam located in the United States and The Karun Damn in Iran
Yangtze River in China has three Gorge Dams built. It is to keep the floods down and to keep the cities safe.
