China Brahmaputra Dam: How The World’s Largest Dam Could Affect Millions in South Asia

Описание: China Brahmaputra Dam: How The World’s Largest Dam Could Affect Millions in South Asia

China starts construction of $167.8 billion dam on Brahmaputra River in Tibet near Indian border. Chinese Premier Li Qiang announces project at groundbreaking ceremony in Nyingchi, Tibet. Planned capacity: 60,000 MW—set to surpass Three Gorges Dam as world’s largest hydropower project. Project includes five cascade hydropower stations; expected to generate 300 billion kWh annually. The project raises strategic and ecological alarms in India due to its location close to the border. Experts warn China could gain the ability to control water flow into northeastern India. India fears potential flooding or water scarcity in border areas during future conflicts. The dam could disrupt the natural flow of the Brahmaputra, impacting agriculture and livelihoods in Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. Furthermore, the dam site lies on tectonic plate boundary, heightening earthquake vulnerability. China claims project prioritizes ecological safety, citing advanced geological studies. The dam marks a new front in the India-China water and infrastructure rivalry. India has begun work on a similar dam in Arunachal Pradesh to counterbalance impact.
