The Yangtze River is enormous. It rises in the Tiberian highlands of western China and flows in a generally easterly direction across 12 Chinese provinces and its delta is on the East China Sea. Three quarters of the river's course runs through beautiful scenic mountains and towns. It has the fourth largest volume in the world. During the period of monsoons, rains in the summer month create the Yangtze and its tributaries to be destructive floods and waves that can result in deadly floods.

The water supply for the city of Shanghai that has eight million people would be heavily affected by salt-water intrusion.

Buildings are also being asked to be relocated because it will put them underwater. The river will become higher and higher. It will even flood temples and whole towns. Chinese might take apart an ancient temple and rebuilt it on higher ground because they don't want to keep it underwater.
