Surface area of the reservoir

The article states that the length of the reservoir is 600 km and that the average width is 1.1 km. However, the article also states that the surface area is 1.045 sq km instead of 660 sq km which the aforementioned information suggests. How is this possible?

Length and area are different. I didn't do the math but it seems plausible a 600km long reservoir could have around 1000 km2 of surface area.--NortyNort (Holla) 23:12, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request on 19 July 2012

grammatical correction..... I think the second paragraph, first sentence is wrong... it should not read ".....last of the 32th main turbine in the underground...." I think it needs to be re-phrased.

Pinyin name?

Under the 'Official Name' field on the right in the infobox, at the top of the article, would it not be good to include the Pinyin name (Chángjiāng sānxiá shuǐlì shūniǔ gōngchéng) next to the Chinese script name (长江三峡水利枢纽工程)? --86.5.226.63 (talk) 21:36, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
