CHINA-CHONGQING-THREE GORGES RESERVOIR-ENVIRONMENT-STUDY (CN)

(230717) -- ZHONGXIAN, July 17, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Researchers of the Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment under Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) measure soil porosity at a research station in Zhongxian County, southwest China's Chongqing, July 5, 2023. The Three Gorges Reservoir region, home to the world's largest hydropower project, covers about 10,000 square km along the Yangtze River, China's longest waterway. The seasonal gaps in the reservoir's water levels have resulted in a water-level fluctuation zone covering 349 square kilometers along the Yangtze River. The zone suffers environmental problems, including soil erosion and pollution. Researchers of the Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment under CAS have, since 2007, conducted a raft of studies on soil erosion, non-point source pollution, and ecological restoration of the water-level fluctuation zone in the reservoir area. In recent years, the ecological environment of the reservoir area has improved and the soil erosion in th
