=Relieves Droughts!= The Three gorges dam releives Dams because the population surrounding the Dam always has an water supply from the vast ammounts of water its Resevoir.

=Provides Electricity= The Three Gorges Dam Provides SOO much electricity. By selling the electricity the Dam makes (By 2011 the estimates for electricity generated is about 22,500 MW!) China's economy GROWS! Also, the electricity generated is enough to support the growing population in China. =Controls Floods= The Three Gorges Dam is expected to protect 1.5 Hectares of Farmland inhabited by about 15 million people! When the dam didn't exsist, for instance when a flood cam in 1998, it claimed over 1,000 lives. The dam protects alot of lives and buisness's from being destroyed. =Some People agaisn't the Dam argue that the Dam causes pollution. But, to help prevent this pollution, owners of the DAm have set up treatment palns to clean up the pollution. There is also the "tongue" of the Dam which also helps clear pollution!= Macartney, Jane.
