CHINA FOCUSES TO TAKE CONTROL OVER BRAHMAPUTRA'S WATER

  • 11/02/2021

As China has run into rough waters with its neighbours, the country has planned to build the world's biggest dam on River Brahmaputra - a 60-gigawatt mega-dam in the Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR).China is planning to construct a mega-dam on the Yarlung Zangbao River (known as the Brahmaputra in India), which flows through Tibet, Bangladesh and eventually becomes the Brahmaputra when it enters India.

The Yarlung Zangbao Dam plan is moving ahead without China discussing or entering into water-sharing agreements with downstream India or Bangladesh.A spokesperson for India's ministry in charge of managing its water resources said it would respond with a 10-gigawatt project on another tributary of the Brahmaputra .
