Three Gorges Project The Three Gorges Reservoir has started to discharge water, to be prepared for the coming flood season of China's longest waterway, the Yangtze River. The reservoir is planned to discharge 2.7 billion cubic meters of water before June 10, when the water level is expected to drop to 144.5 meters, a fall of six meters from the previous level, said an engineer with the Three Gorges Project Development Corporation on Thursday. The water level marked 148.1 meters at 7 p.m. Thursday, said Yuan Jie, the engineer in charge of the discharge work. "As the flood season approaches, it is necessary for us to make preparations beforehand," said Yuan. Located where the Yangtze River's upper and middle reaches meet, the mammoth Three Gorges Project is said to be capable of holding back major floods on the country's longest river. Its reservoir is capable of holding 22.15 billion cubic meters of water when it attains a normal water level of 175 meters, according to the corporation. Launched in 1993, construction of the gigantic concrete structure of the Three Gorges dam was completed in May last year. The water level in the reservoir will eventually reach 175 meters in 2009, when the Three Gorges project is finally completed.

BBC News with Julie Candler.Hillary Clinton is to launch her bid to become the first female President of the United States on Sunday. The former Secretary of State is expected to use a video posted on the Internet to announce that she's seeking the Democratic Party's nomination for next year's election. Nick Bryant reports from Washington.“Ordinarily, presidential candidates launch their campaigns in front of adoring crowds in a blaze of red, white and blue. But Hillary Clinton will offer a less rather montage, a video posted online and promoted on social media. Then it's believed she'll head to Iowa and New Hampshire to meet individual voters in fairly intimate settings, rather than the usual rallies. It's a deliberately low-key, even humble start, choreographed to avoid the sense of entitlements that bedaubed her campaign in 2008.”
