the report is very surperficial - cheap and lazy work by the reporter - we have been seeing far too many of these shody works which severely reduce their credibility over time. The idea is great for China but careful environmental planning has to be considered thoroughly

The Chinese have always been building giant Engineering Projects. The Great Wall may have been the most well known, but historical damns, dikes and canals have been vital to the development of China's past golden ages. Hydraulic engineers are looked upon with great awe to China, it's no surprise Hu Jintao's Bachelors was in Hydraulic Engineering.
