This paper examines the sustainable development of Chang Jiang with the Three Gorges Dam(TGD)'s case study. The Three Gorges area(Qutang Xia, Wu Xia, Xiling Xia) is renowned for their dramatic beauty, cultural treasures, religious and historic sites. Recently the Three Gorges Dam(TGD) draws the increasing interest of the world. The Three Gorges Dam is the world’s biggest dam, biggest power plant and biggest consumer of dirt, stone, concrete and steel. The dam wall is made of concrete and is approximately 2,309 metres long, and 101 metres high. When the water level is maximum at 175 metres over sea level, the reservoir created by the Three Gorges Dam is about 660 kilometres in length and 1.12 kilometres in width on average, and contains 39.3 billion tons of water. The Three Gorges Project, a venture to dam the Chang Jiang in China, is expected to bestow significant benefits to the region in terms of flood control, electricity supply, and navigation improvement. Despite these advantages, the cost of maintenance and environmental damage is enormous. Now, the environment and human survival are dependent on the role of the State. The sustainable development of Chang Jiang is only feasible when humans and nature coexist in harmony.
