Water, the source of all lives, covering an area of 70 per cent of our earth, is tightly bound to the development of human being. However, as everything has its side effects, water brings happiness as well as disasters to people. Therefore, how to exploit water resources has become a serious problem to everyone of us.
China, as the third largest country, is rich in rivers and lakes. The theoretical waterpower resources get to 680 million kw with an annual generating capacity of 5900 billion kwh, both of which are listed first in the world. As an agricultural country, rich power resources are stored in thousands of medium and small rivers, alpine lakes, dissolution caverns, and subterranean rivers, in the vast rural areas, besides the famous three Gorges on the Changjiang River and Yarong Zangbo River. It is estimated that the exploitable medium and small hydropower resources are over 139 million kw, with an annual generating capacity of 695 billion kwh, among the 2300 counties, 1104 have exploitable waterpower resources of over 10000 kw.
