Modern Marvels Episode 10, China's Great Dam Episode 10, China's Great Dam.

Streaming video - 2000

When completed, China's Three Gorges Dam will tower 607 feet in the air and weigh 40 Great Pyramids. Other than China's Great Wall, it will be the only man-made object visible from the moon. Supporters see it as key to a new China, controlling floods and bringing hydroelectric power to one of its least-developed areas. Critics voice a litany of concerns--from environmental to flooding the spectacular area for which it's named. We trace its story--from ancient flood control to current controversy.
