India fears a mammoth ‘megadam’ being built in China could be used as a ‘hydro weapon’.<\/p>\n
The Chinese Communist Party has announced the construction of the world’s biggest dam on the Yarlung Tsangpo River, which flows through China and India.<\/p>\n
China hopes the dam will solve its green energy problem and help it achieve its target of becoming carbon neutral by 2060, the\u00a0Daily Star\u00a0reports.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However, India is said to be terrified that China could build up a huge backlog of water behind the dam and then threaten to release it, devastating Indian communities.<\/p>\n
Dr Ruth Gamble, a historian of Tibet and Himalayas at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia, said the fears are rooted in recent clashes between India and China.<\/p>\n
The Yarlung Tsangpo River is the highest major river on Earth and it flows almost 3000km through China, India and Bangladesh.<\/p>\n
The planned dam will take advantage of the “The Great Bend”, which is a dramatic 180-degree hairpin turn which immediately falls away to a 2,000ft sheer drop, reports\u00a0news.com.au<\/p>\n
It will produce three times more power than the biggest dam in existence – the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However officials in India, who have been essentially at war with China over their disputed land border since the 1960s, are worried it could be used for something far more sinister \u2014 possibly ratcheting tensions up further if the project goes ahead.<\/p>\n
Indian and Chinese troops have already clashed in the region in the past year because of disputes along one of the world\u2019s longest borders, the Line of Actual Control (LAC) that separates the two nations.<\/p>\n
Last June, at least 20 Indian soldiers were killed in a \u201cviolent face-off\u201d with Chinese forces along the disputed Himalayan frontier in which soldiers battered each other to death using their fists and stones.<\/p>\n
Tensions between India and China have not gone away and now there are two armies sitting on the border right next to where China is looking to build its megadam.<\/p>\n
Dr Ruth Gamble, a historian of Tibet and Himalayas at La Trobe University, told the ABC News Channel this week India is concerned the dam will \u201cbasically become a hydro weapon for the Chinese\u201d.<\/p>\n
She said the fear is China could build up water behind it and then threaten to release it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think there is any sense in the Chinese wanting to do that, but because there isn\u2019t very good communication between the two sides, we are getting a lot of fear and paranoia on at the Indian side as well,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Experts believe the project would also cause ecological damage to one of the most biodiverse regions in the world, destroy sacred sites for Tibetans and impact communities who live downstream.<\/p>\n
After building more than 20,000 dams higher than 15m in the past 70 years, hydro-electricity is China\u2019s second-biggest source of energy after coal.<\/p>\n
However the latest plan is being seen as a step too far by many analysts who say it would be the riskiest construction project of all time.<\/p>\n
\n
\n
They say the remote region is almost impossible to access with the heavy equipment needed to build a megadam, and it lies in a heavily active seismic area, not far from the epicentre of one of the biggest earthquakes ever recorded.<\/p>\n
Deadly landslides are also commonplace in this part of the world and would only be invited by a huge construction project.<\/p>\n
The Yarlung Tsangpo is a transnational river system that becomes the Brahmaputra River in India, which provides 30% of the country\u2019s water. It is feared the megadam project could reduce flows to India by 60%.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
