Ships pass the Three Gorges Dam’s five-stage ship lock in Yichang, Central China’s Hubei Province, Aug. 1, 2018. Authorities made use of a break in continuous rain to ease shipping pressure between the Three Gorges Dam and the Gezhouba Dam, both large-scale water control projects on the Yangtze River. Previously, hundreds of ships were suspended to be both upstream and downstream of the Three Gorges Dam due to the massive amounts of floodwater - 35,000 cubic meters per second - being discharged from the dam, which affects navigation safety.
