Description:

"The river seeking for the sea confronts the dam and precipice, yet knows it cannot fail or miss" – Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Built across the Yangtze River in the Hubei Province of China, the Three Gorges Dam is the largest Hydroelectric Power Station currently in existence by total capacity. Apart from the ship lift, it was completed fully in July 2012, although several parts had been complete since 2003, when the reservoir began to fill. The level of discharge from the dam increases during the dry months to give more water for agricultural and industrial uses downstream. Ingame, the Three Gorges Dam provides +30% Production in the city, as well as +2 Production on every river tile worked by the city. It must be built in a city on a river, and requires Ecology.
