More recently, the construction of Three Gorges Dam and other similar projects throughout Asia, Africa and Latin America have generated considerable environmental and political debate. Currently, 48 percent of rivers and their hydro-ecological systems are affected by reservoirs and dams. [1]

By July 20, the Yangtze River at the Three Gorges Dam experienced its highest river discharge since the dam was built. The dam's outflow released 40,000 m 3 /s of water, with 30,000 m 3 /s of the river flow held back behind the dam, after water levels in the Reservoir rose four metres (13 ft) overnight. [66]
One problem was the impact of the project on the Han River below the Danjiangkou Dam, [5] from which approximately one-third of the route's total water is diverted. One long-term solution being considered is to build another canal to divert water from the reservoir at the Three Gorges Dam to Danjiangkou Reservoir. [17]
