Now the dam plays a significant role in many respects. There are three ship locks on the Gezhouba Dam, each being 280 meters long (306.2 yards) and 34 meters high (111.5 feet). 50 million tons of cargo goes through the waterway annually, each ship passing smoothly through the locks in 45 minutes. The 21 sets of turbines within the dam can produce about 157 billion kilowatt-hours each year. The dam's functions of flood control and irrigation ensure a safe life and good harvests in the surrounding areas and in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.<BR><BR> Bold Italic (Your IP address will be recorded in this page's edit history.)
