Three Gorges Dam

  

Do you like dolphins? Because I do and the Three Gorges Dam is not doing the Yangtze dolphins any good, but harming them instead. Which leads me to my first thing, it is negatively effecting the environment. Secondly, it has forced 1.2 million Chinese people out of their rural homes. Lastly, it can cause disasters due to it's weight. Those are just some reason why it was not worth it to build the Three Gorges Dam. 

First of all it has many negative effects on the environment . It is releasing sewage pollution that will hurt the river life, including the rare Yangtze dolphins. It is also causing erosion which will just increase the amount of sewage pollution. Lastly, it's submerging land. That's why it has negative effects on the environment.

In order to build it many people had to be kicked out of their own homes. First of all it's just not right to kick someone out of their own house that their ancestors have probably lived in. The only place they can go is to the city which is already packed tight. Most rural people won't be able to get jobs in the city because all they know how to do is farm. Those are some reasons people getting kicked out of their own homes was not a good idea.

The Three Gorges Dam can cause disasters. Due to its weight it can cause earthquakes and landslides. With those disasters come damage that they will have to pay to fix. Lastly those disasters will effect the remaining nearby villages. Those are a few examples of how the Three Gorges Dam can cause disasters.

It was not worth it to build the Three Gorges Dam. First, it has negative enviormental effects. Second, it forced 1.2 people out of their homes. Lastly, It can cause earthquakes and landslides because of it's weight. When using your power don't forget to think about those poor, poor dolphins.
