China has taken the initiative to build a huge hydroelectric project by building a dam on the Brahmaputra, one of the largest rivers in Asia, known locally as Yarlong Jangbo. This has created a threat of water crisis in Northeast India.
According to the country’s state newspaper Global Times, China’s hydroelectric project could begin next year with the construction of a dam on Tibet’s Brahmaputra River as part of China’s 14th Five-Year Plan.
India is naturally concerned. Because most of the Brahmaputra river basin runs through India. As a result, if the dam is built, it is believed that people who depend on Brahmaputra may face various problems.
The Brahmaputra originates from the Jima Yongjang Glacier near Kailash Peak in the Himalayas in western Tibet. After that, he crossed the Brahmaputra border through Arunachal and Assam in India and entered Bangladesh.
The dam will be built on the Brahmaputra river in Tibet’s Madag county, near the Arunachal border at the entrance to India, according to an online report by the Chinese state daily Global Times.
Yan Zhiyong, chairman of the China Power Construction Corporation, said on Sunday that there was no such project in history and that it would be a milestone in the history of China’s hydroelectric projects.
He added: “Apart from the water supply sources in various parts of the country, this dam will help provide electricity. Through this project the water distribution system and national security can be maintained.
He said the dam would generate 60 million kilowatts of electricity a year, generating 300 billion kilowatts of carbon-free and recyclable electricity a year and generating £ 300 million a year.
