China's Three Gorges Dam under pressure: Flood hazard downstream

#ThreeGorgesInsight 💡 How capable is the Three Gorges Project in flood prevention and control? 🏞️ With a flood control capacity of 22.15 billion cubic meters, the Three Gorges Reservoir plays a pivotal role in flood mitigation across the Yangtze River Basin through flood retention, peak reduction, and discharge timing adjustment.📈 The reservoir employs an advanced hydrologic telemetry system that covers nearly 80% of the upper Yangtze River basin. This system is able to collect data from key
