A Final Spring.(Three Gorges dam in China )(Brief Article)
It was Sun Yat-Sen's idea. The father of modern China supposedly first proposed a massive dam near the series of canyons known as the Three Gorges in 1919. The mere thought of it inspired Mao to write poetry. And next month China will take an important step toward completing the world's largest--and most controversial--public-works project: it will begin flooding the reservoirs. Although the dam is not expected to be fully completed until 2009, the next several weeks will be the final spring for much of this beautiful land. Here's a last look before the waters come.
