Abstract
The TGP is a gigantic multipurpose hydropower project to control floods, generate electricity, and facilitate navigation, so that it has caught the attention of the whole world. It is a key project for managing and developing the Yangtze River. On the other hand, the operation of the dam will change the hydrological regime and other factors that will induce changes in the eco-environment. It will, therefore, have an extensive and far-reaching impact on the reservoir areas and even the whole Yangtze River basin.
