China is moving ahead with a mega dam on the Brahmaputra River, raising concerns over its impact on downstream water flow into India.
China has announced construction of a large dam on the Brahmaputra River, part of its broader water management strategy.
The project is situated in the upper reaches of the river, upstream of the India‑China border.
Experts warn that the dam could alter the seasonal flow pattern, affecting agriculture and water availability in Indian states downstream.
Indian officials have expressed concern and called for transparent dialogue to address potential transboundary water issues.
