The Three Gorges Dam Project in China : history and consequences

Abstract

[ES] Tras varias décadas de planificación y deliberaciones, el embalse de las Tres Gargantas (Sanxia Daba, ), en el curso alto del río Yangtzé (China Central), está cerca de su conclusión. De esta enorme presa, que contará con la mayor central hidroeléctrica del mundo, se espera que pueda contribuir al control de las inundaciones en el curso medio y bajo del Yangtzé, solvente la escasez energética de la región, y mejore la navegabilidad del río. Su construcción, sin embargo, también significará toda una serie de graves consecuencias, como por ejemplo la pérdida y la fragmentación de hábitats y otros efectos negativos sobre la biodiversidad, la desaparición de numerosos yacimientos arqueológicos y de otros lugares de interés histórico, y el desplazamiento forzoso de ms de un millón de personas.

[CAT] Després de diverses dècades de planificació i deliberacions, l’embassament de les Tres Gorges (Sanxia Daba, ), al curs alt del riu Iang-Tsé (Xina Central), és a punt de completar-se. S’espera que aquesta enorme presa, que comptarà amb la central hidroelèctrica més gran del món, pugui contribuir al control de les inundacions en el curs mitjà i baix del Iang-Tsé, solventi l’escassetat energètica de la regió, i millori la navegabilitat del riu. La seva construcció, no obstant, també significarà una sèrie de greus consequències, com ara la pèrdua i la fragmentació d’hàbitats i d’altres efectes negatius sobre la biodiversitat, la desaparició de nombrosos jaciments arqueològics i d’altres indrets d’interès històric, i el desplaçament forçós de més d’un milió de persones.

[EN] After several decades of planning and deliberations, the Three Gorges Dam (Sanxia Daba, ) in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River (Central China), is near to be completed. It is expected that this mega-dam, which will harbor the largest hydropower plant in the world, will contribute to flood control in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, will solve the energetic scarcity of the region, and will improve the river navigability. Its construction, however, would also imply a series of severe negative consequences, such as the loss and fragmentation of many habitats and other effects on the wildlife, the loss of many archaeological and cultural sites, and the forced displacement of more than 1 million people.
