China’s Medog Dam Near India: Water Weapon Or Environmental Risk? Brahmaputra Crisis | News18

China’s massive Medog Hydropower Project on the Yarlung Tsangpo—known as the Brahmaputra after it enters India—is under renewed scrutiny following the devastating Himalayan floods in Nepal and fresh warnings about the region’s geological vulnerability.The project, planned near the river’s dramatic Great Bend in Tibet, is expected to have a capacity of around 60,000 MW and is being developed close to India’s Arunachal Pradesh border. The sheer scale of the project has raised concerns in India over water security, ecological damage, seismic risks and China’s ability to regulate downstream flows.Fresh attention has also followed reports that a China-backed geological study identified an active fault line beneath the project area, raising questions about the long-term safety of the infrastructure in one of the world’s most earthquake-prone regions. n18oc_indian18oc_the-hard-factsNews18 Mobile App - https://onelink.to/desc-youtube
