  • India concerned as China approves world's largest dam in Tibet - Project on Yarlung Zangbo river could generate three times as much electricity as Three Gorges mega dam

The article discusses India's concerns over China's approval of the world's largest dam, the "super dam" on the Yarlung Tsangpo River in Tibet, near the Indian border. This dam, part of China's broader strategy to harness the Brahmaputra River's energy, could potentially alter water flow, affecting downstream countries like India and Bangladesh. The project, which aims to generate three times the power of the Three Gorges Dam, has raised fears about water security, environmental impacts, and geopolitical tensions. India has expressed worries about the lack of transparency from China regarding the dam's operations, which could lead to sudden water releases or withholding, impacting agriculture, ecosystems, and potentially causing floods or droughts in the region. The dam's construction is seen as part of China's broader geopolitical strategy, potentially giving it control over water resources in South Asia.
