Cargo transport through the Three Gorges Dam increased 21.3 percent to 60.56 million tons last year from 2006, thanks to the heightened water levels on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River after the dam was put to use, according to figures released by the China Yangtze River Three Gorges Project Development Corporation.
