Extended data:
The Three Gorges Project is by far the most comprehensive water conservancy control project in the world, which plays a great role in flood control and shipping benefits. After the completion of the Three Gorges Dam, a 600-kilometer-long reservoir will be formed, which will store water in stages and become a rare new landscape in the world.
After the completion of the project, it can give full play to its key role in the flood control system in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and will significantly improve the 660-kilometer waterway from Yichang to Chongqing. The 10,000-ton fleet can reach Chongqing Port directly, and it will bring ten benefits such as flood control, power generation, shipping, aquaculture, tourism, South-to-North Water Transfer Project and water supply irrigation, which is incomparable to any giant power station in the world.
The backwater from the Three Gorges Reservoir to Chongqing, an important town in the southwest, will increase the shipping mileage by 660 kilometers, and the annual one-way navigation capacity will be increased from 6,543,800 tons to 50 million tons. It is well-deserved to call the Three Gorges Project the first hub project in the world to improve shipping conditions.
