The Three Gorges stretch of the Chángjiāng is now dammed up for irrigation, preservation, and generating electricity. The narrow gorge behind the dam has become a long stretch of water configured as a large lake, navigable by going through the Duncan dams.

Chinese translation:加拿大的邓肯大坝
Explanation:
According to Wikipdedia, "Duncan Dam is a dam spanning the Duncan River in the Canadian province of British Columbia". The author is probably a Canadian or is writing for a Canadian audience and thus is comparing the dams to those the audience are familiar with.
估计作者是加拿大人或者读者是加拿大人,所以把水坝比作加拿大的邓肯水坝。
"navigable by going through the Duncan dams" can be translated as "船只可穿过这些类似加拿大邓肯大坝的水坝在湖上航行。"
