About This Trend
A Brahmaputra dam is a large-scale water project in the Tibetan Autonomous Region of China.
According to multiple news sources, China has begun construction on the world's largest dam on the Brahmaputra River in Tibet, which has raised concerns for India and Bangladesh. The project has been shrouded in controversy, with several reports indicating that China plans to divert a significant portion of the river's water for its own use. This move has sparked concerns among downstream countries, particularly India, which relies heavily on the river for agriculture and drinking water. The Indian government has already expressed its concerns over the project, with the Arunachal Pradesh chief minister stating that the dam could have far-reaching consequences for the region. According to The Lallantop, the construction of the dam has sparked security and ecological concerns, with many believing that it could lead to water scarcity and affect the livelihoods of people living in the region.
