India fears that China will control water in South Asia and destroy the ecosystem by hydropower hydroelectric project on the Himalayan range.

China is planning to build a big dam in Tibet, which can create electricity output three times the world's largest hydropower dam Tam Hiep.

This project is expected to break the electricity production capacity of Tam Hiep Dam on Truong Giang River in central China, which can produce 300 billion kilowatt electricity every year.

The "super dam" project is mentioned in China's 14th 5-year plan and is announced at the previous month National Assembly session.

Last October, the Tibetan local government signed "strategic cooperation agreement" with the Chinese Electricity Construction Group (PowerChina).

China announced that this project was environmentally friendly, helping China to reach carbon emissions before 2030 and carbon neutralization in 2060. However, as well as Tam Hiep dam was built from 1994 to 2012, the project has

"Building a dam with super dam size is a really bad idea for many reasons," said Brian Eyer, director of energy, water and sustainable programs at Stimson Center, a US research organization

In addition to seismic activities, this area is also unique.

Tempa Gyaltsen Zamlha, Environmental Policy Specialist at the Tibetan Institute based in Dharamshala, India, said this project contains both ecological and political risks.

"We have a very rich Tibetan cultural heritage in those areas, and any dam construction will also destroy ecology, submerge the parts of that area. Many local residents

India is also worried about this project, when analysts say China is in its position to control most water supply in South Asia.

"The war is an important part of the war because they allow China to take advantage of the upstream power for the most essential natural resources," Brahma Chellaney is written in the Times of India month

He warned the risk of seismic activity that would make the project to become a "water bomb" for downstream residents.

To react with the dam construction idea, the Indian government raised the prospect of building another dam on the Brahmaputra River, the name of the Yarlung Zangbo River when flowing through the state of Assam of the country, to ensure water reserves.

"There is still a lot of time to negotiate with China about the future of super smashes as well as its effects," Eyler said.
