Meticulous planning and broad base consultations had been carried out prior to construction, to the extend of using foreign engineers. Mr. Lee, on the other hand looked upon these broad base consultation as a short coming which I, on the otherhand had seen a decentralization and democratic approach and solution of the problem. The grass root consultation and discussion and planning not only had raise the wide and broad knowledge base to solve the problem, but has also spread the democratic base of the society and citizens. Construction of the three gorge dam not only is seen as a way to tame the thousand years abd aged old flood problems, but also enviromentally replace million tons of coal, sulfa and green house gas by using and advancing the alternative energies. by Dr. Hoojoon Zhang Tue, 18 Sep 2007 14:38:48 +0000 http://www.chinadialogue.net/article/summary/397#comment-4423 http://www.chinadialogue.net/article/summary/397#comment-4423 Floods had skilled millions since history of China. It has been wise to have built the Three Gorges dam and other water conservation projects whatever they cost. It seems that the long range planning was also prepared meticulously and carefully.
