The location is reported to be Jiajiadian Village, Guizhou Town, Zigui County, Hubei Province, on the banks of the Three Gorges Reservoir. Reports indicate that the landslide has a volume of about 800,000 cubic metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The context for this landslide is a spell of very heavy rainfall that has been affecting a large area of China. To manage downstream flooding, the Three Gorges Dam has been used to store water, but in the last two days the gates have been opened to create new storage capacity ahead of the next round of rainfall. This raises the possibility that the landslide might have been associated with the twin effects of local soil saturation and drawdown of the lake. It is interesting to note that in the video, as shown in the still below, there appears to be some freeboard in the reservoir:-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026Read more:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/eos.org\/thelandslideblog\/the-17-july-2024-landslide-in-zigui-county-china\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/eos.org\/thelandslideblog\/the-17-july-2024-landslide-in-zigui-county-china<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A much larger rainfall or Earthquake triggered landslide inside the geologically unstable reservoir region could generate a colossal tsunami shockwave, which could smash the dam wall like throwing a bucket of water at a sand castle. Landslide Tsunamis can be enormous \u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/articles\/taanfjord.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Alaskan Taan Fjord landslide Tsunami in 2015 was over 600ft high<\/a>. I\u2019m not sure what kinds of forces an impact from a 600ft Tsunami generates, but I\u2019m guessing the dam wall would not hold in such circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don\u2019t know how likely such a landslide is in the Three Gorges region \u2013 but given the unstable geology of the region, I do not believe the risk of a landslide driven mega tsunami or even a regular Earthquake which shatters the wall supports should be entirely discounted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Obviously there is no way to know if this will be the year the Three Gorges dam collapses. People have been hi-lighting the problems with the dam and warning of the risk of collapse for decades, yet the dam is still there. But I would not be keen to live down water of such a structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wonder what it costs to insure factories or realestate in the Yangtze Delta against flood risk? Perhaps someone in China can tell us \u2013 a sizeable fraction of China\u2019s population, and around a quarter of China\u2019s most important economic assets, are located down river of the Three Gorges Dam in the Yangtze Delta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No doubt when, not if, the Three Gorges Dam finally collapses, climate change will be blamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
