China’s mega dam project in Tibet has raised fears in India, with over 100 million people at risk due to reduced water flow. India is accelerating plans to build its own dam to counter the impact, with the Upper Siang project expected to mitigate water shortages and potential water weaponization by China.

China is building a record-shattering hydroelectric dam in the Himalayas, capable of powering Germany. But behind the engineering marvel lies massive geopolitical risk and ecological fallout.
So offensive! After destroying #Indigenous homelands, sacred sites, #ecosystems stewarded for millennia, and a land that could have fed a million people, the proposal is to give this #megadam an Indigenous name. #FFS!!! https://thenarwhal.ca/site-c-dam-gets-indigenous-name/
@skry Meanwhile in #BritishColumbia, a government that is an #extractiveIndustries puppet pushed through an #ecosystem destroying #megadam! Shameful! https://thenarwhal.ca/site-c-dam-flooding-begins/
Of course the #RCMP's C-IRG were involved in harassing and arresting #water protectors and #landDefenders and clearing #IndigenousPeoples out of the way so this #megadam could be built. The unnecessary #SiteC is pure destruction and violence. https://pbicanada.org/2024/08/27/the-rcmp-c-irg-and-the-site-c-dam-flooding-indigenous-heritage-sites-and-burial-grounds-in-british-columbia/
