I'd say that seeing those statues is a good sign being that since they were obviously constructed above water, then they were submerged, now they're reappearing. That signifies that this is only a natural cycle that will continue to occur.

[@skytte71]

No not neccessary, not unless the depth of the rivers in those areas where heigthened unaturally by the building of the three gorges dam back in 2006. I remember when they made that dam. It had two consequences, one consequence was, that some of the places where the Yangtze river wasn´t very deep/"high". The river in some places would be made up to about 100 to 120 meters higher than natural (or more i don't recall exactly). Which meant that many historical landmarks, temples, buddha statues etc. would disappear/be flooded and eventually under water "for ever", and settlements with populated areas, where moved up higher along the mountain areas of the Yangtze river. The other consequence was, that other areas could be provided with more water, than what those areas normally had, because they could divert some of the increased water levels (which the dam created) into areas that needed it. Edit: Oh, i missed the part that this particulary buddha statue hasn't been visible for about 600 years. So the Three Gorges Dam probably havn't influenced this rivers water levels.

[@beyondfossil]

All countries needs to work on pollution. But its important to note so many countries moved a lot of their manufacturing to China starting in the 1990s. So of course there will be more pollution in China after that and also China's 1.42B population is 4.25x that of US. But China's per capita pollution is still less than US. And the total cumulative pollution and carbon emissions still much less than US and UK where their carbon output and industrial pollution surged as early as the 1800s with the start of the Industrial Revolution. In London, during the Victorian era, both sewage and industrial waste (slaughter houses, chemicals) spilled straight into the Thames where, by 1849, all the salmon had disappeared where it was once a thriving salmon river. The Thames still hasn't fully recovered.

Great coverage. I do have to note that YangTze is not the river’s name. The actual name is Chang Jiang or Long River. YangZhi (young son) is derived from a region at the river’s delta called YangZhou (near shanghai). It was only a term used locally for a ferry crossing in the small portion of the Changjiang River. However, Matteo Ricci in 1615 used the local ferry crossing to name the entire ChangJiang. In 1800s, more Europeans adopted his terminology and gave the ChangJiang a completely incorrect name. My last name is Jiang or River, so it always irked me why “Long River” Changjiang was butchered into YangZhi “young son”

[@diegoaleixo8206]

A book called "Opportunity in Disguise" taught me that we must learn to squeeze lemons in tragic situations. In terms of renewable energies, in periods of drought we have high availability of solar radiation. Because there is no cloud formation. Idea: how about installing solar panels that feed pumps from artesian wells, even though these are spread across different points of the watershed? The water could be directed to the watercourses in the dry season. In the rainy season, clouds will themselves reduce the efficiency of the pumps. Or even, they can be turned off with the return of the rains.

It is a shame those statues can not be saved before water returns.

Rain clouds transfered to other countries, reduce industrial plants, missiles productions and testing , building roads along mountain sides and others that will increase temperatures.Also,due so soil erosions river bed increased in elevation,causing drought.

The drought is because there is no ice caps on mountains that was the source of rivers and not rain.

[@damionkeeling3103]

Where do you think the ice/snowcaps came from? Snow is frozen water and mountain ice is snow and [frozen] rain that has compacted over the years.

[@hondacbrification]

@@damionkeeling3103 Well that is the point for it doesn’t rains less then normally in summer but rather because of higher the average temperature everything become drier then usual and off course ice have not formed but rather just melted. Till they global warming continues things will simply become worse rather then better and life cycle will be more like in the Savanna.

Your comment is fit for a good belly-laugh. Jesus told the story of very religious man who thanked God that he was not like other men, who congratulated himself on his correct behavior. You sound like that man. The other character in the story was a poor man who beat his breast, saying, 'God have mercy on me, a sinner.' He was very conscious of his shortcomings. You do NOT soun d like this man. Which man went home justified? The SECOND one, according to Jesus.

Parts of the Loire River in France have almost dried up, and the Rhine River in Germany has reappeared as the "Hunger Stone". What do you want to say about this?

This has nothing to do with the Three Gorges Dam.

No it wouldnt be more accurate, the Yangtze is low because the catchments and tributaries are dry due to record high temperatures and lack of rain. Power generation dams don't take water away from the river other than when they are initially filled.
