Xinjiang

Science and Technology

China builds in the desert the world’s tallest sand and gravel dam, a giant 247 meters high, the height of an 80-story building, pouring enough material to fill 7,560 Olympic swimming pools and investing around R$ 6.2 billion to tame 1.1 billion m³ of water in Xinjiang.
