China’s plans for Himalayan super dam stoke worries in India

China is planning a mega dam in Tibet able to produce triple the electricity generated by the Three Gorges- the world’s largest power station- stoking fears among environmentalists. The structure will span the Brahmaputra River before the waterway leaves the Himalayas and flows into India, straddling the world’s longest and deepest canyon at an altitude of more than 1,500 metres.
