Answer 2

The 'Three Gorges' Dam located in China is the world's biggest dam which will be completed in 2008.It has a volume of over 39,300,000 cu m.

Answer 3

If China's Three Gorges Dam were as large as the controversy surrounding it, this would surely be the biggest dam in the world.

Although it is the world's largest in terms of electrictiy production and overall investment, it is not the biggest dam in the world.

A close comparison in terms of size would be the Grand Coulee Dam in the U.S. which is slightly larger.

Answer 6

The Three Gorges Dam (simplified Chinese: 长江三峡大坝; traditional Chinese: 長江三峽大壩; pinyin: Chángjiāng Sānxiá Dà Bà) is a Chinese hydroelectric river dam that spans the Yangtze River in Sandouping, Yichang, Hubei, China. The total electric generating capacity of the dam will reach 22,500 megawatts,[1] at which point it will be, in the world, the largest hydro-electric power station. This is the biggest project that has been undertaken in China since the Great Wall and the Grand Canal. Several generators are yet to be installed; the dam is not expected to become fully operational until about 2011.[2]

As with many dams, there is a debate over costs and benefits. Although there are potential economic benefits such as flood control and hydroelectric power, there are also concerns about the relocation of over 1,500,000 people[citations needed]who have been or will be displaced by the rising waters; siltation that could limit the dam's useful life; loss of numerous valuable archaeological and cultural sites; and the significant adverse effects of increased pollution upon the regional ecosystem.
