世界規模最大的水壩將於6月6日正式完工,位於長江上的三峽大壩混凝土壩面,將在一連串的圍堰爆破拆除後,開始進行擋水。為了建造大壩主體而興建的三個圍堰,目前只剩下最後一個,其功用是提供工程人員興建右岸大壩時所需的電力,同時也做為臨時的擋水壩,將河水隔絕在即將被淹沒的大壩主體之外。

The last of three cofferdams used in building the massive dam, it generated power for construction crews building the main dam's right bank and served as a temporary barrier, excluding water from an area of the main dam that will soon be submerged.
