The location of the Three Gorges Dam is in China. It can be found in the Yangtze River, the 3rd largest river in the world. The main reason this dam was built was because of flooding and thousands of people drowning. The Yangtze River had flooded multiple times and then the Chinese government decided to build a dam in 1994 and finished in 2009. For more facts about the dam visit this website. I would describe the place as a huge dam that blocks water from destroying property, homes, and farmland. It also can be electric generating. The water starts out as potential energy then changes to kinetic energy This shows that Earth's waters can be harmful and destructive, but we can control it for our use. Now more people are living closer to the water with little fear that it will flood and wipe out the area they live on. The water is being polluted, visit here to learn more about the Three Gorges Dam.
