Does the Three Gorges Project have an impact on extreme weather in southern China?

This year is the first year after the Three Gorges cut off, and the water level has been tested to175m. Unfortunately, the water level has not reached 175 meters, but many provinces in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River have experienced large-scale drought. The water level of rivers and lakes has fallen to the lowest level in history, waterway transportation has been interrupted, the land has cracked, crops have been cut off, and it is difficult for people and animals to drink water. . . Even the god in charge of this area seems to have forgotten that it rained.

Is this a coincidence?

In fact, the earth's surface, including rivers and lakes, soil vegetation and air clouds, forms a relatively balanced water vapor system, which is interrelated and interdependent. River water seeps into soil, which increases groundwater level and soil water content. The water in the soil either evaporates directly or is absorbed by plants, but a part of it remains inside and outside the plants, which increases the humidity in the air through evaporation on the surface of the plants and forms clouds. Clouds return to the surface through atmospheric circulation to form rain and snow, and the rain and snow cycle back and forth, maintaining relative balance.

At present, the Yangtze River, as the main stream of China's main water system, will naturally cause the water level in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River to plummet, thus causing the water level in tributaries and lakes in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River to plummet, which in turn will lead to the water level in small rivers and streams and the groundwater level to plummet. In this way, the moisture in the surface soil will naturally decrease, leading to the decline of soil moisture and crop failure. When there is less water in the soil, less water will evaporate into the air, and the air humidity will decrease. Due to the decrease of humidity, the atmospheric pressure will increase, making it more difficult for these areas to attract clouds and rain.

According to this analysis, it is not difficult to see that the large-scale drought in the south this year is directly related to the water storage capacity of the Three Gorges Reservoir! This is a direct manifestation of the destruction of the balance system of the surface water system in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

When the Three Gorges Reservoir releases water again, the water vapor system will re-establish a new balance, and the situation in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is not optimistic during this replacement process!

Nature is a balanced system. Once this balance is destroyed, its influence will be far-reaching and beyond human imagination. . .
