Ecological Environment Problems of the Three Gorges Reservoir Area and countermeasures

The ecological and environmental problems of the Three Gorges Reservoir Area have different effects on its ecological security. This paper aims to make certain contributions in this area by examining the ecological problems of the TGA. It reveals that Scarce arable land, water and soil erosion, non-point agriculture pollution are critical environmental issues. On the positive side, countermeasures that are discussed include: developing eco-agriculture, reforestation and constructing a green belt in the peripheral zone of the reservoir, and economic adjustment and control to the agriculture nonpoint pollution.
