Will China’s mega dam in Tibet bring a water crisis to India? Study gives hint



China’s planned super dam will see water levels rise during dry seasons and control flooding during high-risk periods, data shows

The study draws data from two large dams already working upstream: Zangmu and Jiacha. Measured since 2014 at hydrological downstream, the results are clear: dry seasons get wetter.

Low flows were up more than 50 per cent in February. Water rose significantly throughout the dry season. India feared drought – the dams brought more water instead.
