 | | As Interfax previously reported, decades of silt building up around the Sanmenxia Dam, which is located on the Yellow River, raised the level of the upstream Wei riverbed, a Yellow River tributary. |
 | | Recently, Qu Geping, director of the China Environmental Protection Foundation, quoted by Keji Ribao, a national science newspaper, said that the construction of the Sanmenxia Project was a blot on the country's history of hydropower development. |
 | | Fenghuang Zhoukan, a local magazine, reported that most officials in charge of the management of Sanmenxia came from the Province of Henan, on the downstream of the Yellow River, where thousands of hectares of farmland were protected by the dam. |
