The dam will assist the already flood ridden basin. Every year a massive amount of rain falls in China. In turn flooding the low lands inside the basin, where many of the poorer people live. Every year when the basin floods thousands of people die and hundreds of acres of farm land flood. The dam will be able to help prevent this tragedy from happening year after year.
China has a limited amount of resources that they can access with their current economic situation.
One of the most prevalent ones is the hydroelectric power that the Yangtze River offers the country. Water is a renewable resource that can be used to generate energy and revenue for years to come for this country. We will demonstrate how the dam is the best and most efficient way to sustain China's economy. Without something like the Three Gorges Dam the nation and its people will suffer further.
