The Three Gorges Reservoir is currently nearing its target water level as part of its annual operational cycle. The reservoir stores water at the conclusion of the flood season each year to prepare for the upcoming months.
Following this storage phase, the facility gradually releases the water during the dry season while lowering its overall water level ahead of the next flood season.
This operational approach is designed to ensure an adequate and reliable supply of water across the Yangtze River basin for multiple purposes, including navigation and shipping, municipal water supplies, ecological requirements, and hydroelectric power generation.
