3 Gorges Dam's impact on culture

Sun morning class, we mentioned this just now....HERE is an earlier post on the impact of the Three Gorges Dam. For a more detailed insight into how the building of the dam is at the expense of the rich cultural heritage of China (some of the architectural sites and towns can be traced back to the Ming and Qing Dynasty, but are alas, now submerged under the rising water), check out  THIS link.
By the way, the number of people forced to relocate as a result of the building of the dam is about 1 million.
Sample Qn: 'The key criterion for good government is how well the economy is managed.' Is this a fair assessment? (Cambridge 2012)
