\n Torrential rains have caused water levels at China\u2019s massive Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River to rise to record levels, according to news<\/a> reports Saturday.<\/p>\n

Rainfall in the Yangtze basin has been twice as heavy as normal this year and resulting floods have caused at least $26 billion in economic damages and affected as many as 63 million people, Reuters reported Saturday.<\/p>\n

About 75,000 cubic meters per second of water flowed in from the Yangtze river Thursday, pushing the reservoir\u2019s depths almost 20 meters higher than the official warning level.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey will do everything they can to prevent the dam from overtopping,\u201d said Desiree Tullos, a professor at Oregon State University who studies the Three Gorges project.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn overtopping dam is a worst-case scenario because it produces significant damage \u2026 and can lead to the entire thing collapsing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Three Gorges Project was completed in 2012. It was aimed at both generating power and reining in the ferocious Yangtze, the cause of many terrible floods in Chinese history.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
