China to build the world’s biggest dam on sacred Tibetan river
But environmentalists in India have flagged concerns about the mega-project in an ecologically sensitive, mountainous region. They say harnessing the river could affect water flow in the country’s northeastern states and Bangladesh.
The Indian government is apprehensive that the dam across the border will give China control over the river’s flow and allow it to release large amounts of water in times of conflict, which would flood downstream areas. Some military officers described the Chinese project as a “water bomb” against India.
