Abstract
In April 1992, the National People's Congress in Beijing approved the Three Gorges project. Once built, the dam will generate hydroelectric power, check flooding and improve navigation and water supply along the Changjiang (Yangtze). If the construction problems have been solved and investment funds are available, there remains concern about the potential environmental impact and the need to resettle compulsorily over one million people.
