China's dammed Yangtze Ric
a cesspool of sewage, poison
Hy Tim Johnson
KRT CAMPUS
WANZHOU. China — When
this city decided to dam a tribu
tary to the mighty Yangtze
River, the city fathers searched
for a suitable name for the beau
tiful artificial lake they said
would form. They settled on
Goddess Lake.
They planned a tree-lined
park along its shores, a tranquil
respite from city life. Little
boats would ply its waters.
Six months after Goddess
Lake began tilling up. it's
become a cesspool tilled w ith pig
blot)d, dead fish, raw sewage,
dye and runoff from tanneries.
“Can you see the sewage pipe
dumping into the lake over
there?” taxi driver Lu Yongheng
asked. He pointed to effluent
cascading into the lake, which is
a few hundred yards from the
Yangtze River.
Similar stories of environ
mental degradation are unfold
ing along the Yangtze upriver
from the Three Gorges Dam. As
the huge dam and smaller dams
along the river’s tributaries block
the water, the Hushing and self
cleaning action of the Yangtze
River basin has slowed.
Reservoirs are becoming
sewers, filled with trash and
smelly water. Local officials
refuse to shut down polluting
factories, fearf ul that unemploy
ment will rise. Edicts from
Beijing on controlling industrial
waste go unheeded.
Begun in 1994. nearly a mile
across and 575 feet high, the
controversial Three Gorges Dam
is the biggest hydroelectric proj
ect in the world. The dam began
