Is the Yangtze estuary suitable for swimming?

It is not recommended to swim in the Yangtze River estuary because of the busy waterway and fast current, which makes it unsafe to swim. Tidal power generation is a renewable energy utilization mode, which can effectively utilize the energy generated by tides and is a relatively environmentally friendly power generation mode. However, tidal power generation needs certain technology and facilities, scientific and reasonable site selection and construction to realize sustainable power generation. Therefore, if we want to develop tidal power generation in the Yangtze estuary, we must carefully evaluate the geographical environment, hydrometeorology and other factors and formulate a scientific and reasonable construction plan.

The Yangtze estuary is rich in tidal energy resources and is one of the potential places for tidal power generation. The tidal characteristics of the Yangtze estuary are large tidal amplitude and long tidal period, which is suitable for building large-scale tidal power generation facilities. In addition, the tidal current in the Yangtze River estuary is relatively fast, which can increase the power generation efficiency of tidal generating units. At the same time, the Yangtze estuary is also rich in hydropower resources, which can be combined with tidal power generation to improve the utilization efficiency of the whole hydropower resources.
