Reply to comment by CRimson9943 in World Bank steps in to mediate India-Pak water dispute by AP24inMumbai

China can do the same thing with India. All those rivers that flow into Pakistan from Inda originate in China.

Edit: Who are those kool aid drinking idiots that are downvoting. China diverting rivers that come into India is a cause for concern.

India is too big to get bullied around by China, but countries downstream Mekong have terrible issues due to China building and filling dams.

India has aspirations. But it isn't big enough yet. What can India do is China does begin to divert rivers entering India? China isn't someone that listens to diplomacy.

This is the same situation as Ethiopia/Sudan. They almost went to war over this - the only reason conflict didn’t turn hot was because Susan didn’t have technical capability to deliver enough ordinance over such large distance to blow dam up.

India is more capable.

You don't know about the brahmaputra river,

It originates in China there known as the Tsang po,

But the one that reaches India, 80 percent of that water is added by tributaries flowing in india, so china daming the brahmaputra would only mildly inconvenience us.

The indus or the other hand, is another story,

The ganga thankfully originates in india though

But those rivers are not getting all their water from China. Infact most of India and Pak's river get there waters in monsoon season which comes in India and Pak not china.

They why complain when China was going to build a dam across the Chinese side of the Brahmaputra?

It’s a concern. Not a grave threat. Because if Chinese plans to divert it all it’s gonna be a risk for them to. There can be flash floods during peak monsoons.

And building dams will always weaken the foundations and most likely lead to earthquakes. And that region is a highly unstable region. So risk goes both ways if they do things unplanned they be playing with fire.

Because China can always use it to cause flood??? Everything is not about water shortage.

When you have an inconvenience of 40 % it's still a inconvenience
