Thoughts on Converting Floods on the Three Gorges Project into Resources

摘要

Floods are both risks and resources. Converting floods into resources is an important part of flood management. Given the rising shortage of water resources, serious water pollution, and undersupply of electric power, it's imperative to strengthen flood management. In light of the hydrological properties of the Three Gorges Project, this paper examines the necessity and feasibility of converting the project's floods into resources, maps out the path forward for converting the project's floods into resources, and identifies problems that might occur in the process.
