ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu, ʻaʻole ʻo Three Gorges Dam ka hale mana wai nui loa ma ka honua, a ʻo ke kahua wai wai ʻo Congo River e pālua ʻia ka nui o ka Three Gorges Dam.

E hāʻawi koke ʻia ke poʻo inoa o "ke kahua wai wai nui loa o ka honua" o ka Three Gorges Hydropower Station.ʻO nā nalu ma hope o ka muliwai ʻo Yangtze e hoʻokuke i nā nalu i mua no ka mea ke kūkulu nei ka muliwai ʻo Congo ma waena a me ke komohana o ʻApelika i kahi kikowaena wai nui i kapa ʻia ʻo Inga Hydropower Station.ʻO ka poʻe hana, a laila hiki ke lanakila i ke poʻo inoa o ka mana hydroelectric nui loa o ka honua.

Wahi a ka hoʻolālā kūkulu mua ʻana o nā ʻenekini Congolese, ua māhele ʻia ke kūkulu ʻana o ka Inga Hydropower Station i ʻeono mau ʻāpana, me ka huina kālā ma kahi o 80 biliona kālā ʻAmelika i nā pae mua ʻekolu.I kēia manawa ua hoʻopau maikaʻi ʻia nā pae mua ʻelua, a ke holomua nei ka hana ʻekolu.

Ua hoʻomaka ka pae mua o ka Yingjia Hydropower Station i ka makahiki 1972 a ua pau i ka makahiki 1974. Ua hoʻokumu kekahi mau ʻāpana i ka uila, a laila hoʻomaka ka lua o ka papahana.ʻAʻole i hoʻopau ʻia a hiki i ka makahiki 1982. ʻO ka papa mua a me ka lua o ka papahana i hoʻokomo i ka huina o 14 generator sets.ʻO 1,800 MW ka mana i kau ʻia.

Ma muli o nā kumu like ʻole, ua hoʻopaneʻe ʻia ke kolu o ka papahana a hiki i 2015, a ua manaʻo ʻia e pau ia mai 2020 a 2021. ʻO Nowemapa 2020 kēia, akā ʻaʻole i pau.No laila, manaʻo ʻia ka manawa hoʻopau i ka makahiki 2021. Inā ʻo ke kolu o ka pae o ka papahana Ke hoʻopau ʻia, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka mana i hoʻokomo ʻia ma mua o ko Kina ʻekolu Gorges Hydropower Station.

He 4,320 mau kilomita ka lōʻihi o ka muliwai Congo a he 3.7 miliona mau kilomika kilomika.ʻO ia ka lua o ka muliwai lōʻihi loa ma ʻApelika ma hope o ka Nile.He ʻano poʻo ia a kahe ʻo Angola, Zambia, ʻApelika Waena, Kamerona, Kongo a me nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe ma hope o ka hele ʻana i ka equator ʻelua.Aia nō i ka Congo River Basin ka lua o ka ululāʻau nui o ka honua ma hope o ka wao ua Amazon ma ʻAmelika Hema.Uhi ia ma kahi o 2 miliona mau kilomika kilomika, ʻo ia ka 70% o ka nui o ka nui o nā ululāʻau ua wela ma ʻApelika a me 25% o ka nui o nā ululāʻau nui o ka honua.He kiʻekiʻe loa ka waiwai olaola.

ʻO ka Inga Hydropower Station ka mea i kūkulu ʻia ma ka ʻāpana 25-kilomita o ke kiʻekiʻe o ke kahawai ʻo Congo, me ka hāʻule ʻana o ka pae wai ma mua o 100 mika, no laila he wahi kūpono ia e kūkulu ai i kahi kahua wai wai.

Inā hoʻopau ʻia ke kolu o ka hana, hiki i ka 44,000 MW ka nui o ka mana i hoʻokomo ʻia, ʻoi aku ia ma mua o ka pālua o ka pālākiō o koʻu ʻāina ʻekolu Gorges Power Station, hiki ke hoʻolako i ka nui o ka pono uila o nā ʻāina liʻiliʻi ʻo ʻApelika.ʻO kēia ke kumu e pono ai ʻo ʻApelika e hoʻolilo kālā.ʻO ke kumu nui o ke kūkulu ʻana i ka Inga Hydropower Station ʻo ia ka ʻike ʻo ʻApelika kekahi o nā wahi ʻilihune loa o ka honua.

ʻO ka ʻōnaehana wai ka hōʻoia ola o nā kānaka, no laila, ʻo nā kaʻa a me nā mīkini a mākou e hoʻolako nei, ke kuleana nui nei no ka palekana wai o nā kānaka.

ʻO Oriental Vehicles International Co., Limited, ke nānā aku nei i ke ola o ka poʻe ma mua o ke kālā, ʻoi aku hoʻi no ke kauhale ʻaʻole i kūkulu ʻia o nā ʻāina.Ke hāʻawi nei mākou i nā kaʻa kaʻa like ʻole a me nā mīkini i ka poʻe makemake nui iā lākou.
