Geheyan Dam
The Geheyan Dam (Chinese: 隔河岩水电站) is a large dam on the Xiangjiang, a tributary of the Yangtze River, in Hubei Province, China.
Design work on the dam began in 1987. The dam is equipped with a ship lift capable of lifting vessels of 300 tons displacement.
The dam played an important role in helping to ameliorate the impact of the 1998 Yangtze flooding.
