The Salton Sea is a large inland endorheic lake in the United States state of California.
It is approximately  long from north to south, and  wide from east to west.
It is well below sea level, with its surface elevation at , and its deepest part is  deep.
The New River and Alamo River flow in from the south, while the Whitewater River flows in from the north.
It was created in 1905, when heavy rain flooded the Colorado River and caused it to flow into the basin that now holds the Salton Sea.
Salton Sea description
An endorheic basin, also called an internal drainage system, is a drainage basin, or watershed, that does not flow to one of the Earth's major oceans.
This is unlike normal basins that collect in rivers and flow to the ocean.
Endorheic basins usually end in a saline lake or a salt flat.
They can be found in all parts of the world, but usually in desert locations.
List of major endorheic basins
Don Juan Pond in Wright Valley is fed by groundwater from a rock glacier and remains unfrozen throughout the year.
Lake Vanda in Wright Valley has a perennial ice cover, the edges of which melt in the summer allowing flow from the longest river in Antarctica, the Onyx River.
The lake is over 70 m deep and is hypersaline.
Lake Bonney is in Taylor Valley and has a perennial ice over and two lobes separated by the Bonney Riegel.
The lake is fed by glacial melt and discharge from Blood Falls.
Its unique glacial history has resulted in a hypersaline brine in the bottom waters and fresh water at the surface.
Lake Hoare, in Taylor Valley, is the freshest of the Dry Valley lakes receiving its melt almost exclusively from the Canada Glacier.
The lake has an ice cover and forms a moat during the Austral summer.
Lake Fryxell, in adjacent to the Ross Sea in Taylor Valley.
The lake has an ice cover and receives its water from numerous glacial meltwater streams for approximately 6 weeks out of the year.
Its salinity increases with depth.
Much of western and Central Asia is a single, giant inland basin.
It contains several lakes, including:
The Central Asian Internal Drainage Basin, the largest of the three major basins covering Mongolia.
The Caspian Sea, the largest lake on Earth.
In fact, a large part of Eastern Europe drained by the Volga River also belongs to its basin.
The Aral Sea, whose tributary rivers have been diverted, leading to a dramatic shrinkage of the lake.
The resulting ecological disaster has brought the plight faced by internal drainage basins to public attention.

The Great Salt Lake is a very large saltwater lake in the United States.
It is in the state of Utah.
It is an endorheic lake, meaning that the water in it does not flow to the ocean.
It is one of the biggest endorheic lakes in the world.
The lake is in the Great Basin, a large area of desert terrain covering parts of the states of Nevada, Utah, Idaho, California, and Arizona.
It is many times saltier than the average of the world's oceans.
The lake is about  long and  wide.
Its surface area averages , but because of its desert location, its size changes very often.
The three major rivers that flow into it are the Jordan, Weber, and Bear rivers.
Because of its similarity to the Dead Sea in Asia, it has been called "America's Dead Sea".
However, the lake is a rich habitat for many species of birds, shrimp, and other animals.

In mathematics, hyperbolic geometry is a non-Euclidean geometry, meaning that the parallel postulate that defines Euclidean geometry isn't true.
On a hyperbolic plane, lines that started out parallel will become further and further apart.
Replacing this rule means that hyperbolic geometry acts differently from ordinary flat plane geometry.
For example, triangles will have angles that add up to less than 180 degrees, meaning that they are too pointy and will look like the sides are sinking into the middle.
Many real objects look like hyperbolic planes.
For example, some types of coral and lettuce are shaped like pieces of hyperbolic planes.
Other people say that it's easier to draw a map of the Internet when your map isn't flat, because there are a lot of computers around the edges but very few in the center.
Some physicists even think our universe is a little bit hyperbolic.
The parallel postulate in Euclidean geometry says that in two dimensional space, for any given line l and point P not on l, there is exactly one line through P that does not intersect l. This line is called  parallel to l. In hyperbolic geometry there are at least two such lines through P. As they do not intersect l, the parallel postulate is false.
Models have been constructed within Euclidean geometry that obey the axioms of hyperbolic geometry.
These models prove that the parallel postulate is independent of the other postulates of Euclid.
Because there is no hyperbolic analogue to Euclidean parallel lines, the hyperbolic use of parallel and related terms varies among writers.
In this article, the two limiting lines are called asymptotic and lines that have a common perpendicular are called ultraparallel; the simple word parallel may apply to both.
Non-intersecting lines
An interesting property of hyperbolic geometry follows from the occurrence of more than one parallel line through a point P: there are two classes of non-intersecting lines.
Let B be the point on l such that the line PB is perpendicular to l. Consider the line x through P such that x does not intersect l, and the angle θ between PB and x counterclockwise from PB is as small as possible; i.e., any smaller angle will force the line to intersect l. This is called an asymptotic line in hyperbolic geometry.
Symmetrically, the line y that forms the same angle θ between PB and itself but clockwise from PB will also be asymptotic.
x and y are the only two lines asymptotic to l through P. All other lines through P not intersecting l, with angles greater than θ with PB, are called ultraparallel (or disjointly parallel) to l. Notice that since there are an infinite number of possible angles between θ and 90 degrees, and each one will determine two lines through P and disjointly parallel to l, there exist an infinite number of ultraparallel lines.
Thus we have this modified form of the parallel postulate: In hyperbolic geometry, given any line l, and point P not on l, there are exactly two lines through P which are asymptotic to l, and infinitely many lines through P ultraparallel to l.
The differences between these types of lines can also be looked at in the following way: the distance between asymptotic lines run to zero in one direction and grows without bound in the other; the distance between ultraparallel lines increases in both directions.
The ultraparallel theorem states that there is a unique line in the hyperbolic plane that is perpendicular to each of a given pair of ultraparallel lines.
In Euclidean geometry, the angle of parallelism is a constant; that is, any distance  between parallel lines yields an angle of parallelism equal to 90°.
In hyperbolic geometry, the angle of parallelism varies with the  function.
This function, described by Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky, produces a unique angle of parallelism for each distance .
As the distance gets shorter,  approaches 90°, whereas with increasing distance  approaches 0°.
Thus, as distances get smaller, the hyperbolic plane behaves more and more like Euclidean geometry.
Indeed, on small scales compared to , where  is the (constant) Gaussian curvature of the plane, an observer would have a hard time determining whether he is in the Euclidean or the hyperbolic plane.
For centuries, geometers tried to prove the parallel postulate.
They failed, but their efforts gave birth to hyperbolic geometry.
The theorems of Alhacen, Khayyam on quadrilaterals, were the first theorems on hyperbolic geometry.
Their works on hyperbolic geometry had an influence on its development among later European geometers, including Witelo, Alfonso and John Wallis.
In the nineteenth century, hyperbolic geometry was explored by János Bolyai and Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky, after whom it sometimes is named.
Lobachevsky published in 1830, while Bolyai independently discovered it and published in 1832.
Karl Friedrich Gauss also studied hyperbolic geometry, describing in a 1824 letter to Taurinus that he had constructed it, but did not publish his work.
In 1868, Eugenio Beltrami provided models of it, and used this to prove that hyperbolic geometry was consistent if Euclidean geometry was.
The term "hyperbolic geometry" was introduced by Felix Klein in 1871.
For more history, see article on non-Euclidean geometry.
Models of the hyperbolic plane
There are three models commonly used for hyperbolic geometry: the Klein model, the Poincaré disc model, and the Lorentz model, or hyperboloid model.
These models define a real hyperbolic space which satisfies the axioms of a hyperbolic geometry.
The Klein model, also known as the projective disc model and Beltrami-Klein model, uses the interior of a circle for the hyperbolic plane, and chords of the circle as lines.
The Poincaré half-plane model takes one-half of the Euclidean plane, as determined by a Euclidean line B, to be the hyperbolic plane (B itself is not included).
Hyperbolic lines are then either half-circles orthogonal to B or rays perpendicular to B.
Both Poincaré models preserve hyperbolic angles, and are thereby conformal.
All isometries within these models are therefore Möbius transformations.
The half-plane model is identical (at the limit) to the Poincaré disc model at the edge of the disc
This model has direct application to special relativity, as Minkowski 3-space is a model for spacetime, suppressing one spatial dimension.
One can take the hyperboloid to represent the events that various moving observers, radiating outward in a spatial plane from a single point, will reach in a fixed proper time.
The hyperbolic distance between two points on the hyperboloid can then be identified with the relative rapidity between the two corresponding observers.
Visualizing hyperbolic geometry
M. C. Escher's famous prints Circle Limit III  and Circle Limit IV
illustrate the conformal disc model quite well.
In both one can see the geodesics. (
In III the white lines are not geodesics, but hypercycles, which run alongside them.)
It is also possible to see quite plainly the negative curvature of the hyperbolic plane, through its effect on the sum of angles in triangles and squares.
In the Euclidean plane, their angles would sum to 450°; i.e., a circle and a quarter.
From this we see that the sum of angles of a triangle in the hyperbolic plane must be smaller than 180°.
Another visible property is exponential growth.
In Circle Limit IV, for example, one can see that the number of angels and demons  within a distance of n from the center rises exponentially.
The demons have equal hyperbolic area, so the area of a ball of radius n must rise exponentially in n.
There are several ways to physically realize a hyperbolic plane (or approximation thereof).
The art of crochet has been used to demonstrate hyperbolic planes with the first being made by Daina Taimina.
In 2000, Keith Henderson demonstrated a quick-to-make paper model dubbed the "hyperbolic soccerball".

In geometry the parallel postulate is one of the axioms of Euclidean geometry.
Sometimes it is also called Euclid's fifth postulate, because it is the fifth postulate in Euclid's Elements.
If you cut a line segment with two lines, and the two interior angles the lines form add up to less than 180°, then the two lines will eventually meet if you extend them long enough.
The field of geometry which follows all of Euclid's axioms is called Euclidean geometry.
Geometries which do not follow all of Euclid's axioms are called non-Euclidean geometry.
Many of them thought that it could be proven from the other simpler axioms.
Those who tried to do it included Omar Khayyám, and later Giovanni Gerolamo Saccheri, John Wallis, Lambert, and Legendre.
Some mathematicians announced that they had proven the proposition from the simpler propositions, but they all turned out to be mistaken.
Playfair's axiom
Another more recent proposition known as Playfair's axiom is similar to Euclid's fifth postulate.
Given a straight line and a point not on this line, you can only draw one straight line through this point that will not meet the other straight line.
In fact, mathematicians found out that this axiom is not only similar to Euclid's fifth postulate, but has exactly the same implications.
Mathematically, the two propositions are called 'equivalent' propositions.
Today Playfair's axiom is used more often by mathematicians than Euclid's original parallel postulate.
Eventually some mathematicians tried to build new geometries without using the axiom.
One kind of Non-Euclidean geometry is called elliptic geometry.
In elliptic geometry the parallel postulate is replaced by an axiom that states that:
Given a straight line and a point not on this line, you cannot draw a straight line through this point that will not eventually cross the other straight line.
Mathematicians found that when they replaced Euclid's fifth postulate with this axiom, they were still able to prove many of Euclid's other theorems.
One way to imagine elliptic geometry is by thinking of the surface of a globe.
On a globe, lines of longitude appear to be parallel at the equator, but they all meet at the poles.
Late in the 19th century, elliptic geometry was shown to be consistent.
This proved that Euclid's fifth postulate was not independent of the other postulates.
After this, mathematicians mostly stopped trying to prove the fifth postulate from the other four postulates.
Instead, many mathematicians began studying other geometries that do not follow Euclid's fifth postulate.
Given a straight line and a point not on this line, you can draw at least two straight lines through this point that will not eventually cross the other straight line.
This is called hyperbolic geometry.
Another geometry simply removes Euclid's fifth postulate and does not replace it with anything.
This is called neutral geometry or absolute geometry.

San Juan is a Dominican province, in the western part of the country.
Its capital city is San Juan de la Maguana.
The province is named after its capital city, San Juan de la Maguana.
San Juan is short for San Juan Bautista (Saint John the Baptist).
Since colonial times, the territory was part of Azua province until the dictator, Rafael Trujillo, made this province in 1938 with the name Benefactor with the municipalities of Las Matas de Farfán y El Cercado.
Bohechío was made a municipality in 1974, Vallejuelo in 1978 and Juan de Herrera in 1992.
In  (last national census), there were  people living in the San Juan province, and 139,620 () living in towns and cities.
Its population represents  of the total population of the country and the province is ranked as the 11th (out of 31 plus the National District) more populated province.
The San Juan province has a total area of .
It has  of the area of the Dominican Republic and it is ranked as the 1st (out of 31 plus the National District) largest province.
The altitude of the provincial capital, San Juan de la Maguana, is  above sea level.
The Cordillera Central ("Central mountain chain") is in the northern part of the province, and the Sierra de Neiba runs across the southern half.
The area between those two mountain ranges is the San Juan valley, which the Taínos call Maguana, meaning "small valley".
The highest mountain in the province is Pico Duarte, with 3,087 m. It is the highest mountain in the West Indies and is on the border with Santiago province.
The San Luis Rey River is a river in the southern part of the U.S. state of California.
It begins in the Cleveland National Forest, near a mountain called Palomar Mountain, in several forks.
It flows south into a reservoir, called Lake Henshaw.
It then turns west and flows to its mouth at the Pacific Ocean.
Altogether, it is about  long.
Its watershed covers an area of 562 square miles.
The lower part of the river is polluted, but the water in the upper part of the river can be used for drinking water.
For the nearby road bridge, see Forth Road Bridge.
The Forth Rail Bridge is more correctly called the Forth Bridge, but the title is to distinguish it from the nearby Forth Road Bridge).
It is a railway bridge across the Firth of Forth (part of the River Forth) in Scotland.
Built in 1890, it is a cantilever bridge design, with three major sections, each about  long, connecting to each other.
The bridge is  long, and is  above the water.
It carries about 190-200 trains every day.
More than 55,000 tons of steel were used, as well as 18,122 m³ of granite and over eight million rivets.
The bridge has a speed limit of 50 mph (80 km/h) for passenger trains and 20 mph (32 km/h) for freight trains.
The weight limit for any train on the bridge is 1,422 tonnes (1,442,000 kg).
Approximately 4,600 workers were employed in construction of the bridge.

It is one of the most polluted rivers in the United States.
Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime which are created whenever objects with mass move.
They were predicted by Albert Einstein in 1916 on the basis of his theory of general relativity.
They were first directly detected on 14 September 2015.
To make gravity waves strong enough to be detected, something very massive must accelerate very fast.
Sources of detectable gravitational waves include binary star systems composed of white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes.
Gravity and relativity
In physics, gravitational waves are ripples in the curvature of spacetime that travel outward from the source.
Albert Einstein predicted them in 1916 on the basis of his theory of general relativity.
They do not exist in the Newtonian theory of gravitation, in which physical interactions propagate at infinite speed.
However, the detection of gravitational waves proves the last prediction of Einstein’s general theory of relativity.
Collision of neutron stars
Gravitational waves have been detected from the collision and merging of two neutron stars.
The first detection was on 17 August 2017 by a team in Pasadena, California.
The project is run by the LIGO Laboratory at Caltech.
The detector is in the huge Livingston woodland in Louisiana.
The detector is two two and a half mile (~4 km) long completely straight pipelines at right angles.
Inside each pipe is a laser which measures any change in length.
Once the gravity wave event was detected, telescopes searched for visual images of the cause.
The VISTA telescope in Chile got the image.
The merging happened in a galaxy called NGC 4993.
This is about 40 mega parsecs or 130 mega light years away in the direction of the Constellation Hydra.
By comparison, the nearby Andromeda Galaxy is only 2.5 million light years from Earth.
"It happened 130 million years ago - when dinosaurs roamed the Earth.
It was so far away that the light and gravitational waves have only just reached us".
The next station away from London is Edmonton Green and the next towards London is White Hart Lane.
Trains terminate at Liverpool Street station in the City of London.

She dresses herself as a boy and uses the name Cesario, so she can get work as a page for Orsino.
As Orsino's page, Viola is sent to Olivia with love letters.
Viola finds out, to her dismay, that Olivia has fallen for her (as a boy) rather than Duke Orsino.
Also, Viola has already fallen in love with the Duke.
Sebastian (Viola's twin, thought to be dead) comes ashore in Illyria.
He thinks Viola has drowned in the shipwreck.
A man named Antonio has rescued him from the surf; at some risk to himself, because Antonio fought against the Duke at one time.
Meanwhile, in Olivia's house, Sir Toby Belch (her cousin) has tricked Sir Andrew Aguecheek into supporting him, by convincing him that he could be a suitor for Olivia.
So with the help of Maria, Olivia's maid, and Feste, a clown, Belch plots to make a fool of the steward.
Maria writes a love letter to Malvolio that will make him think Olivia has fallen for him.
Malvolio falls for the joke and dresses crazily as the letter says to.
Not knowing it is a joke, the Countess is horrified and has Malvolio locked away as a madman.
Belch tries to get Sir Andrew to fight a duel with Viola's "Cesario" character as she leaves but Olivia has a crush on Cesario.
Viola and Sir Andrew prepare for a duel that neither one wants.
Antonio intervenes to defend Cesario, because he thinks he is his friend Sebastian, and is arrested for piracy against Orsino.
Olivia has become engaged to Sebastian.
Viola still does not recognize Antonio.
Later, Belch and Sir Andrew talk to Sebastian, who does not back down from Aguecheek when challenged and beats him in the duel.
Meanwhile, Olivia has met and become engaged to Sebastian.
Antonio is brought before the Duke for questioning, and Viola tells all about the duel.
Antonio tells everyone how he dragged "this man" from the surf, saving his life.
Then Olivia comes in, searching for her new husband, which she thinks is Viola.
Adding to this confusion, Belch and Aguecheek enter claiming that Viola/Cesario has violently assaulted them.
In the midst of Viola's denials, Sebastian shows up.
The brother and sister recognize one another and are reunited.
Sebastian helps to explain the confusion over who fought and married who.
In the end, Orsino and Viola are in love.
Olivia and Sebastian are happily wed, and Olivia fusses at Belch and Maria for their abuse of Malvolio, who vows to get even.
Belch agrees to wed Maria to make up for getting her in trouble.
Everyone, except unhappy Malvolio, lives happily ever after.
Orsino welcomes Olivia and Sebastian and he now realises he is attracted to Cesario.
He promises to marry her as soon as she is dressed as a woman again.

The quokka (Setonix brachyurus) is a small marsupial about the size of a large cat.
Like other animals in the macropod family, such as kangaroos and wallabies, the quokka  eats grass and small plants, and is mainly nocturnal.
It lives on some small islands off the coast of Western Australia, mainly on Rottnest Island near Perth, and Bald Island near Albany.
A small number live on the main land in the protected area of Two Peoples Bay, which they share with Gilbert's Potoroo.
The quokka is the only member of the genus Setonix.
The quokka weighs between  and .
It is around  long with a  tail.
This is short for a macropod.
It has a solid build, rounded ears, and a short, broad head.
It looks like a very small, fat kangaroo, but it can climb small trees and shrubs.
It has rough fur which is a brown colour, fading to pale brown underneath.
The quokka eats a small amount of its waste products.
The quokka is a social animal and lives in large groups.
They eat grass, sedges, succulents and leaves.
They can become very sick if fed with things like bread, given to them by visitors to Rottnest Island.
Visitors are now told not to feed them.
Quokkas breed at any time on the mainland, but in late summer on Rottnest.
The female quokka has two babies (called joeys) in a year.
Quokkas and people
Quokkas are not scared of people, so you are able to get quite close to them, particularly on Rottnest Island.
It is against the law on Rottnest Island to handle or touch the animals in any way.
A A$100 fine can be given by the Rottnest Island Authority for picking up a quokka.
People can even be taken to court and get a fine of up to $1000.
These fines have been used in some unusual cases where quokka have been hurt or killed by visitors to Rottnest.
There are a lot of quokkas living on the small offshore islands, because this is only a small area they are listed as vulnerable.
On the mainland, they are attacked by dingoes, as well as introduced animals like foxes, dogs and cats.
They also need thick ground cover for shelter.
Farming has cleared much of the land which is another reason the species is threatened.
The quokka was one of the first Australian mammals seen by Europens.
The Dutch sailor, Samuel Volckertzoon wrote about seeing a "a wild cat" on Rottnest Island in 1658.
In 1696, Willem de Vlamingh thought they were rats and named the island "Rottenest", Dutch for "rat nest".
The word quokka is comes from a Nyungar word, which was probably gwaga.

It was written by a British mathematician called G. H. Hardy (1877—1947).
He used the essay to try to justify spending his life working on mathematics.
It is said he wrote it for two reasons:
He was getting old and found it more difficult to work on mathematics.
He spent time writing the essay instead because discovering new mathematical ideas was now too hard for him.
He believed that mathematics should be investigated for interest, instead of for making other things like weapons.

Scientology teaches that Xenu (pronounced  (ZEE-noo)) was the dictator of a galactic confederacy of 76 planets, who was captured and imprisoned on Earth 75 million years ago after bringing billions of his people to Earth, placing them around volcanoes and killing them by using hydrogen bombs.
Scientologists believe he is still being kept there these days.
Xenu is very important to the beliefs of Scientology because the story of Xenu explains the believed origin of what are known as body thetans from humans.
Body thetans are believed to be the essence of Xenu's people that gather around humans and cause them spiritual harm.
It is the purpose of auditing within Scientology to remove these thetans from the Scientologist.

Henry the Young King (28 February 1155 – near Limoges, France, 11 June 1183) was the junior king to his father Henry II of England.
He was crowned king in 1170, but never actually used the power.
The meaning of this is that Henry II's territory covered much of northern France as well as England and Ireland.
The idea may have been to have an official deputy for legal actions when Henry was in France, and to indicate the succession to the throne.
In practice, Young Henry was not interested in government.
According to his tutor, William Marshal, he spent his time in France going from one knights' tournament to another.
The boy was married as a child to Marguerite of France (1158–1197), daughter of the French King Louis VII.
The intention was political, but it did not work.
War came between Henry II and Louis.
Henry joined in rebellions directed at his father.
A civil war (1173/74) occurred in which Young Henry and his mother, with Scots and French support, fought against Henry II.
The king won, just.
Young Henry died ten years later, of dysentery.
As he died before his father he never achieved power.

Rod cells are one of two types of photoreceptor cells that can be found in the retina of the eyes of humans and other mammals.
Rod cells are very sensitive to light.
They allow night vision.
They are concentrated at the edge of the retina, where they also allow peripheral vision.
Scientists in 1992 counted an average of 60 million rod cells per human retina.
They counted only 3 million cone cells, the other kind of receptor, which are bigger and perceive color.
A photoreceptor cell is a specialized nerve cell that is sensitive to certain wavelengths of light.
The Three Gorges Dam () is a dam in the Three Gorges region on the Yangtze River in Sandouping, in the country of China.
Being one of the largest dams in the world, it also generates the biggest amount of hydroelectric power (22,250 megawatts), pushing the massive Itaipu Dam in Brazil from first place to second place.
The Three Gorges Dam project was completed on July 4, 2012.
The dam was built for flood control, irrigation, and electricity.
However, this has not come without problems.
The dam covers a lot of historic sites and has caused 1.24 million people to lose their homes under the rising water.
The dam forms the Three Gorges Reservoir, which extends nearly   upstream to the city of Chongqing.
The dam was proposed by Sun Yat-sen, a Chinese political leader, in 1919.
The site was surveyed in 1932 and 1939, by the Chinese and Japanese respectively.
The Japanese drew up a plan (the Otani plan) for the dam, only to realize later that China would remain under Chinese control.
Later, in 1944, the United States helped make plans for the dam, but all work on the dam stopped in 1947, because of the Chinese Civil War.
In 1949, work resumed, but the work was slow because of problems in the economy.
Later in 1958, some engineers who were against the dam were put in jail.
In 1980, work on the dam continued faster.
The National People's Congress voted in 1992 for the dam.
The dam was accepted by the government, and on December 14, 1994, construction began.
In 2009, the dam began to make hydroelectricity.
Some new plans, such as a set of 6 new power generators under construction, became operational in the year 2011.
The reservoir filled to capacity at the end of 2008.
Design, cost and purpose
The dam is:
thick at the bottom
thick at the top
The dam uses:
27,200,000 cubic meters (35,600,000 cubic yards) of concrete
463,000 tons of steel
102,600,000 cubic meters (1.342E+8 cubic yards) of soil
The reservoir is:
above sea level
The dam cost $180 billion Chinese Yuan Renminbi (about $30 billion USD).
While this cost seems huge, it actually was $20 billion yuan (about $3.3 billion USD) less than the original budget of $203.9 billion yuan (about $34 billion USD).
However, this cost will be recovered when the dam makes money by making electricity.
In about 10 years, the complete cost of the dam will be recovered.
One of the big reasons the dam was built to control floods.
It protects large cities like Wuhan, Nanjing, and Shanghai, which are very close to the river.
Lots of farms, small villages and towns, and factories are also located near the river.
In the event of a flood, there are 22 cubic kilometers (18 million acre feet) of space behind the dam to hold back the flood waters.
The flood waters are stored behind the dam for future use.
In the dry season, the water is released down the river, and the reservoir level drops to prepare for the next flood.
However, the dam does not protect the lower river tributaries from flooding.
Another reason the dam was built was for water navigation, or the transport of people and goods by ship.
There are two sets of locks each of which has five stages.
Each lock is  long,  wide, and  deep, which is similar in size to the original locks of the Panama Canal, one of the biggest canals in the world.
The reservoir behind the dam floods dangerous sections of the river, so boats and ships can go safely and easily.
There is also a "ship lift" (an elevator for ships) that can lift ships that weigh up to 3,000 tons.
