The water level at the Three Gorges Dam, the world's largest water control and utilization project, reached its designed highest mark on October 26, which will enable the project to fulfill its functions of flood control, power generation, navigation and water diversion.
The water level hit 175 meters at 9 a.m. that day, said Cao Guangjing, Chairman of the China Three Gorges Project Corp., the developer of the project, calling it "a milestone in the construction of the gigantic reservoir."
The 185-meter-deep reservoir, built on the upper middle reaches of the Yangtze River, China's longest river, began to store water in 2003. /Beijing Review
