flag India accelerates its dam project on the Brahmaputra, fearing China’s new dam could severely cut water flow.

flag India is speeding up plans for a massive dam on the Brahmaputra River after China announced plans for what would be the world's largest hydropower dam in Tibet. flag India fears the Chinese dam could cut water flows by up to 85% during the dry season, affecting millions in India, China, and Bangladesh. flag India's analysis suggests China could divert a third of the river's annual flow. flag This has pushed India to move ahead with its own dam project, which has faced local resistance since its proposal in the early 2000s. flag China maintains that its project is safe and will not harm downstream countries.
