Abstract

China has approved the construction of a mega-dam near its border with India, which could potentially be the world's largest. The dam project on the Yarlung Tsangpo river in Tibet is estimated to cost $137 billion and generate three times more power than the Three Gorges Dam. This development has the potential to impact the relationship between China and India, as the river flows through a contested area and feeds into major Indian rivers. The project, which could take a decade to complete, has raised concerns about water flow and environmental impact among downstream nations. [Extracted from the article]
