China s controversial Three Gorges Dam project hits a significant milestone on Saturday, when it is expected to reach its final height of 185m (607 feet). But it will not be fully operational until A billboard in the port of Wushan shows the height that the water will reach, ultimately submerging all of its wharf facilities. When the dam s reservoir reaches its final height of 175m, scheduled for 2009, the five-chamber shiplock will raise boats by as much as 113m. At least 1 million people are being relocated to make way for the project.", "Image XResolution": "200", "Image YResolution": "200", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Inch", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
