The Three Gorges Dam is accused of causing landslide that has claimed two lives and left several others injured in the southwestern Wushan County. The authorities said that 17 boats capsized due to the waves that caused by the landslide.
The plant owner of China Three Gorges Corporation said "The project was not affected by the landslide, though it continues to monitor the reservoir's levels."
The Three Gorges Dam created a gigantic reservoir of 600 kilometers.
The water level has alarming consequences. The embankments of the reservoir are subject to frequent changes, increasing the possibility of landslides. What is more, the huge lake affects the local climate, making extreme weather events - especially heavy rainfall more likely to happen.
