Скачать или смотреть China Approves World’s Largest Hydropower Dam in Tibet: India’s Concern | UPSC Current Affairs 2024

China is set to construct a dam that will not only become the world’s largest hydropower project but will also be situated near the Indian border.
It will be constructed at a massive gorge in the Himalayan region, where the Yarlung Zangbo River (the Tibetan name for the Brahmaputra) takes a sharp U-turn before flowing into Arunachal Pradesh (India) and then Bangladesh.
The project, costing over one trillion yuan ($137 billion), is expected to generate over 300 billion kWh of electricity annually, enough to meet the yearly energy needs of more than 300 million people.
Why will it be a concern for India?
It will be built in the ecologically fragile Himalayan region, along a tectonic plate boundary where earthquakes occur frequently.
The dam, besides empowering China to control the water flow, could also enable Beijing to release large volumes of water, potentially flooding border areas during hostilities.
