Green measures at dam

Environmental protection measures are high on the agenda as the Three Gorges dam project heads toward completion this year, its builders have said.

According to the Three Gorges Project Corp, more environmental facilities will be built this year to deal with and guard against environmental problems in the area. These include the new Yingzizui water plant, Letianxi waste water processing factory, a processing ground to handle algae blooms and silt in dammed water, and a breeding center for protected fish species in the upper reaches of the river.
