  1. ⛈ Chongqing, located in the Three Gorges reservoir area, has been hit by heavy rainfall causing floods, landslides, and mudslides, resulting in severe damage to local houses. 00:17 Wanzhou District in Chongqing has been hit the hardest by the heavy rainfall. 00:17 The Three Gorges Dam has not fulfilled its role in disaster mitigation and has exacerbated the impact of the heavy rainfall. 00:33 Wanzhou District upgraded its flood prevention response to Level II emergency. 01:09 Over 2,600 residents were evacuated in Wanzhou District. 01:28 The flooding in Wanzhou District is considered a man-made catastrophe linked to the Three Gorges Dam. 02:59 The $28.3 Billion USD Three Gorges Dam Fails, Unveiling 7400 Hidden Disaster Risks: Heavy Rainfall Triggers Catastrophic Flooding and Landslides in Chongqing ⚠ The construction of the Three Gorges Dam has caused significant changes in the natural conditions of the area, resulting in increased likelihood of natural disasters like landslides occurring. 03:33 The impoundment of the Three Gorges Dam has altered the stability of the reservoir banks, increasing the risk of landslides. 03:33 Urban development and real estate expansion have narrowed river channels, leading to immediate flooding during heavy rainfall. 04:05 Since the impoundment of the Three Gorges Dam, there have been numerous geohazards along the Yangtze River and its tributaries. 05:11 In the first 11 months after impoundment, there were nearly double the number of collapses and landslides compared to the previous year. 05:29 The Qianjiangping Village landslide, which occurred shortly after impoundment, resulted in 15 fatalities and significant destruction. 05:49 🌊 The filling and discharge of the Three Gorges Reservoir leads to increased geological hazards and landslides. 07:04 The material at the front edge of the landslide was eroded by reservoir water, causing a decrease in strength. 07:04 The filling of the reservoir from September to November and discharge from February to May increases the occurrence of geological hazards. 07:20 In 2008, over 100 newly occurring geological hazards were recorded when the reservoir attempted to reach a water level of 175 meters. 08:13 Reaching the 175-meter water level would improve navigation conditions upstream but introduce significant fluctuations in the Yangtze River's water level. 08:53 Over 5,000 geological hazard sites have been identified in the Three Gorges reservoir area. 09:46 🚧 The Three Gorges project in Chongqing section faces increasing danger potential collapse and landslide points, despite concerns raised in the past. 10:40 Before the construction of the Three Gorges Project, experts did not raise the issue of geological hazards in the reservoir area. 10:40 Opponents of the project warned about complex geological conditions and potential landslides in the reservoir area. 11:37 Dissenting voices were suppressed, and a book highlighting concerns about the project was censored and removed. 12:11 Jiang Zemin violated the commitment not to discuss the project within five years and expressed support for its construction. 13:04 Technical leader Pan Jiazheng presented a feasibility study report on the project to the State Council in 1990. 13:21 🌊 The Three Gorges project in China experienced numerous collapses and landslides, but officials downplayed the risks to push for its construction. 13:39 Approximately 140 large and medium-sized collapses and landslides occurred, with 14 being in poor stability conditions. 13:39 Vice Premier Zou Jiahua stated that the reservoir banks had good stability and no significant leakage or erosion issues. 14:17 The Three Gorges area is prone to frequent geological disasters due to complex geological conditions and heavy rainfall. 15:07 The feasibility study leadership group and technical personnel deceived the public to expedite the project. 15:44 Professor Liu Guangrun played a key role in studying the geological and seismic issues of the reservoir area. 16:01 🌊 The stability of the Three Gorges reservoir banks is deteriorating, leading to frequent landslides and collapses. 17:12 Reservoir filling and elevation change led to a change in evaluation of the stability of the reservoir banks. 17:12 2,490 landslides and collapses were reported in the Three Gorges reservoir area, with 581 needing attention at a water level of 135 meters. 17:27 The deterioration of the reservoir banks is a major factor in frequent geological hazards. 18:03 The cyclic rise and fall of the reservoir water level causes damage to the rock masses and soil in the drawdown zone. 18:22 Immediate engineering measures are suggested to reinforce the deteriorated rock masses, with estimated costs ranging from 5 to 10 million yuan per 100 meters. 19:29 😕 The Three Gorges Follow-up Work Plan for effective management of geological disasters related to the Three Gorges project has received a staggering investment of 123.8 billion yuan, with the collection of funds extended multiple times. 20:22 The State Council approved the Three Gorges Follow-up Work Plan in May 2011. 20:22 The total investment in the plan amounted to 123.8 billion yuan. 20:39 The collection of the fund was extended until 2025 based on a suggestion. 21:01 In 2023, another extension of the fund collection was proposed. 21:20 Experts and academicians may have withheld the truth about landslides and collapses in the reservoir area to ensure the implementation of the project. 21:36
