Why can the Three Gorges Dam, the largest hydropower project in China, release water into the air?

I think the Three Gorges Dam is better than everyone knows, and we often come into contact with the explanation of the Three Gorges in primary school textbooks! As the first large hydropower station in China, the annual electricity consumption alone has reached an unimaginable level!

Many tourists will come to Wan Li to see the Three Gorges in order to see the flood discharge of the Three Gorges Dam. When the dam discharges water, they may find that the dam often releases water into the sky. Like a fountain, I wonder if you have noticed these mysteries of the Three Gorges Dam. Many people will be curious about this question. Why does good water have to be discharged into the sky like waves? Is it to increase the appreciation for tourists? In fact, the reason is not like this!

We should know that the pressure and power of the Three Gorges Dam during flood discharge are very huge, and the impact force is no less than that of a flash flood. Therefore, if the flood is discharged directly, the dam will be worn and its service life will be affected. In order not to directly impact the dam, we decided to discharge the water directly into the sky. As the largest displacement hydropower station in China, the drainage capacity of Three Gorges Hydropower Station can be said to be dozens of times that of ordinary hydropower stations. Engineers just came up with this method to prolong the service life of the dam and make the water impact less intense and obvious! The impact on the dam is greatly reduced!

When the flood flows out, it will be blocked and then offset some of the effects. Then change the direction of the water flow to discharge the water into the air, just like when we turn on the tap and put our fingers on it, the water flow will splash upwards, and a small change will solve the problem of the dam. Finally, I would like to pay tribute to the engineers of that year. The appearance of the Three Gorges Dam is of great significance to our country, which has played an important role in flood control, drought resistance and transportation. Besides, its biggest function is to generate electricity. The Three Gorges will provide a large amount of power resources for the country every year. There is an artificial power station hidden under the huge project, which reduces people's worries about electricity! So to sum up, the Three Gorges Dam has made great contributions to the people of China!

At present, the Three Gorges Dam is still under intense construction, and tourists come here every year to see the elegant demeanour of the largest hydropower station in China when it releases water.
