As a key project for the governance and protection of the Yangtze River, the Three Gorges Hydropower Complex Project is the world's largest water conservancy and hydropower project, providing numerous benefits. In recent years, due to global warming, extreme climate events such as extreme precipitation, high temperatures and regional drought have occurred frequently, and these events themselves, as well as associated geological disasters, represent a challenge to the safe operation of the Three Gorges Project. Therefore, it's important to keep monitoring climate anomalies and extreme events with high impacts.
