Best Answer

The pathways worn into the stone above the river where coolies used to pull boats upriver against strong currents have disappeared forever. Markings in many places recording the river depth in many places. The river rose up to 30 meters or more when in flood stage. The hundreds of steps climbing from the river to cities perched above the flood stage are submerged. Many other artifacts being dug on archiological sites were abandoned. Many cities and farmland were relocated to "modern" cement replacement cities and less fertile mountain farm sites as the originals were lost. An ancient and unique way of life along the river higwy has been forever altered. And three of the most beautiful wild river gorges in the world were submerged forever. It is almost as if the Grand Canyon were damed and filled with a giant lake.
