Shennong Stream

Shennong Stream is a left tributary of the Yangtze River，located in the Hubei Province of central China.Fed by tributaries some of which come from th Shennongjia Forestry District，the stream flows south，falling into the Yangtze opposite the city of Badong.Originally the Shennong Stream watercourse consisted of a wild river traversing a tortuous alignment flanked by almost vertical limestone cliffs；however，since the beginning of the construction of the Three Gorges Dam downstream on the Yangtze，the water level has risen approximately 155 meters at the mouth of Shennong Stream.The lower reaches of the Shennong Stream are presently a torpidly flowing river，most of whose previously scenic vertical gorge is now submerged.By the completion of the dam construction in 2009，a further 20 meters of gorge has been inundated.
