Xiluodu Daba, China

From series “The Most Impressive Dams on Earth”
Year: 2014. Lenght: 700 m. Height: 285,5 m.

One of the largest dams in the world is situated in China on the Yangtze River. The height of Xiluodu Dam is 285,5 meters, 700 meters length. The dam and the power station took their names from the nearby Xiluodu Province. Originally this dam was built not only for electrical power but also for improvement of water quality.

The Yangtze River has a rapid flow, its water is quite dirty because of the vast number of clay. The water quality has increased thanks to the building of the dam. In 2005 the dam building began but after a short period of time it was frozen. Before the building there wasn’t any researching, that’s why ecologists insisted not to continue the works.

Only after the possible natural environment damage for the region was estimated, the streamway was closed and the building continued. In 2014 the dam was put into service. It has leading positions in the capacity of the reservoir, its volume is 12, 67 cube meters. Next - Alberto Lleras Dam
