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.
