A new series of dams is being persued by the Chinese government in what is called the Tiger Leaping Gorge, where legend has it that a tiger lept across it at it's narrowest point. Some 100,000-300,000 people will be forced to be relocated, and a natural wonder of the world will be hidden below a dam resevoir. There is an envrionmentalist effort in China to halt the building of the dam. Here is the article: http://www.threegorgesprobe.org/tgp/index.cfm?DSP=content&ContentID=11594 And here are some pics of the gorge: http://www.pbase.com/cqh/tiger_leaping_gorge Thoughts?
Yeah I heard about that. Arent they supposed to be like the biggist dams in the world or something? I think theres a big one thats supposed to be built in northern Quebec thats getting a lot of opposition to....but i can't remember? Its sad how much land gets destroyed because of dams.
