buffalo. \n\nEdit: second word is drought.

If people pave their whole back yards, water has no where to drain off to.  It wouldn't be able to be absorbed into the grass.  Also, I think the sun reflecting off the concrete is heating up our cities a degree or two.

Cost\n\nOfficials report that the plan is within its US$25 billion budget and insisted early on that the project would pay for itself through electricity generation. However, the project is thought to have cost more than any other single construction project in history, with unofficial estimates of US$100 billion or more.\n\n\nIncreasing wealth disparity\n\nCritics see the dam as primarily serving the interests of east coast industrialists since they have the most need for the hydro-electric power. Unfortunately, this is at the expense of millions of people displaced from prime arable land. Making matters worse, relocation compensation has been inadequate (with corrupt officials stealing from the fund), the number of people displaced has been grossly underestimated, and their new land is of poor quality.\n\nEnvironment\n\nAlthough hydro-electric power is a renewable energy, the creation of large reservoirs can generate considerable quantities of greenhouse gases, including substantial amounts of methane, due to micro-biotic activity. Compared to the greenhouse gas emissions of conventional natural gas power plants, emissions from northern reservoirs are typically about 5% of conventional power plants, while emissions from tropical reservoirs are typically 25%.\n\nThe amount of power generated by the dam in 2009 was originally anticipated to supply about 10% of China's electricity needs, but with China's rapidly growing economy it is only projected to produce approximately 3% at the end of 2006. Over 80% of the country's power is currently produced by coal.\n\nHuge reservoirs by their nature alter the ecosystem and threaten some habitats while helping other habitats. The Chinese River Dolphin and the Chinese Paddlefish, for example, are on the edge of extinction and will lose habitat and suffer divided populations due to the dam. Of the 3,000 to 4,000 remaining critically endangered Siberian Crane, approximately 95% currently winter in wetlands that will be destroyed by the Three Gorges Dam.\n\nWhile logging in the area was required for construction which adds to erosion, stopping the periodic uncontrolled river flooding will lessen erosion in the long run. The build up of silt in the reservoir will, however, reduce the amount of silt transported by the Yangtze River to the Yangtze Delta and could reduce the effectiveness of the dam for electricity generation and, perhaps more important, the lack of silt deposited in the river delta could result in erosion and sinking of coastal areas.\n\nCities such as Shanghai need ever increasing electricity to power its new modern skyline. With 26 hydro turbines generating up to 18 gigawatts of electricity, the equivalent of roughly eighteen coal power stations or 11,000 barrels of oil per hour, the Dam will help reduce this power shortage. Filling this demand for energy with hydroelectric power will also be welcomed by environmentalists as China has been criticised for relying too heavily on fossil fuel in recent decades. While in the short term the dam will cause extra pollution, the dam could potentially reduce China's annual coal consumption by 40 to 50 million tons, thus reducing the discharge of two million tons of sulfur dioxide and 10,000 tons of carbon monoxide a year.\n\n\nLocal culture and aesthetic values\n\nThe 600 km (370 mile) long reservoir will inundate some 1,300 archeological sites and alter the legendary beauty of the Three Gorges. Cultural and historical relics are being moved to higher ground as they are discovered but the flooding of the Gorge will undoubtedly cover some undiscovered relics. Many other sites cannot be moved because of their size or design.\n\nThese historical sites contain remnants of the homeland of the Ba, an ancient people who settled in the region more than 4,000 years ago. One of the traditions of the Ba was to bury the dead in coffins in caves high on the cliff.\n\nNavigation\n\nThe installation of ship locks is intended to incre

Go to China and you ll find it

LOL that was kind of funny; but one from the Pacific to the Gulf of Mexico wouldn't be all that bad...specially if we got the Chinese to build it for us!

Nothing, Labor was free. the rocks cost nothing. China built the wall with slaves, if they resisted, they got put into the wall.

a well, electromechanical extraction. at current usage, long after i am gone, save a catastrophic duought.\nalternatives are hooking to city water.\n\nour conservation across america is absolutely lousy.\n\nstart looking for ways to use membrane absorbtion from the atmosphere, use power plants to cogenerate potable water, restrict the use of water at every household by 10%, and decrease deliverys until we use half what we do now.\nwater from washers can be used to water lawns, showers can be shorter. washing your car can be done with less than 5 gallons of water. we are not conservation minded, and it will hurt us.\nif you  look at the growth in the southwest, they are running on a water deficit and they still build.\nthe ogalalla aquafer, on of the larges in the world is being depleted. when that goes midwest irragation goes. the midwest is the bread basket of the us and a source of our agracultural surplus that we use for balance of payments.\n\nget pissed, and start making "campaign contributions" to our federal elected officials.\nin america campaign contributions are our form of bribery.\nif that doesn't work try a land swap with nature conservatory or antoher organization.

I have no idea. Technically, some people already have to walk out to a river to get water.

I'd go for the Chinese. they're so much harder-working

When I went to Moosejaw a few years ago and did a tour of the underground tunnels, I was shocked to find out about the Chinese Immigrants and how they were treated. We never learned about this in school. They would work in the laundries and the working and living environments they were put under were horrific. You can probably find more info if you google it.

China, in fact there was a recent study that shows china will be using more then the resources that are being made right now.  it will happen sometime in the next couple decades.

.THIS PLANET IS NOW DRYING OUT.In northern china the 2 major deserts are merging to create a super desert.\n\nthousands of farmers that once were food producers are now running for their lives before the advancing dust storms.The Sahara is growing by 7 kilometros a day\n\n.The world population has doubled in the last fifty years ,faster than  humanity has ever done since we became homosapians. we are loosing species every minute.We are in fact witness to a mass extinction for the first time again since the day of the dinasaurs.\n\nAGRICULTURAL LAND IS LOST ALL OVER THE GLOBE.TO DESERTIFICATION ,OVERPUMPING OF CARBON AQUIFIERS.\nForest fires and deforestacion (to create more farmlands )are detroying that which make the water.\n\nEACH YEAR THERE ARE LESS AND LESS FARMERS,their sons becoming something else , in Africa there are many dying of aids  In china many lost their lands, \n\nAnd each year these less and less farmers have to feed an increase of (,at the moment) 70 million people.(But this is speeding up.)\n\nTo produce a ton of maize takes 1000 tons of water.If you havent got water but you have money,such as China,you will buy water in the form of maize,and at high prices.\n\nCanada and Australia have limited their sales already and only to their regular good customers.Other countries WILL sell causing inflation and rising food prices at home and so produce unstable governments.\n\nwe find ourselves in a bubble econemy about to burst.\n\nthe bottom line is that with less land,less farmers and less water.the global farming comunity will not be able to feed everybody in the world.\n\nThe disapearing biomass is threatening our very atmosphere.\neach rise of temperature by one degree means 10% of croploss.And the planet is getting hotter.\n\nThe sea is rising ,which means more loss of agricultural land.\n\nThe world desperately needs alternative ways to produce food.\n\nso to save Mankind,to save the world ,to change the tide, to tip the balance and to answer the question ,\n\nthe solution is that \nif the billions of people on this planet who have any ground at all ;grow something.\n\nTo combat rising food prices by bringing an enormous amount of food unto the local markets ,\n\ncombat the threat to the global environment ,by creating an enormous amount of biomass which will produce humidity,\nAnd all of it outside and beyond the concept of agriculture.\n\nThe many billions of pieces of land are there,and so are the people.Just buy a spade and get some seeds.the books exist,\n\nI recommend Permaculture since that is my area ,but their are many other concepts.\n\nAnd you will get healthy and cheap food,not to speak of making the place beautifull.\n\nIn this way we can get to Paradise without having to die first

The water must be given as initial push to go uphill. Once the flow is established, siphoning can occur.
