China defends plan to build world's largest dam over Brahmaputra River in Tibet; says will not affect lower reaches

The Hindu  

China on Friday defended its plan to build the world's largest dam on the Brahmaputra river in Tibet, saying the project will not “negatively affect” lower riparian states and that safety issues have been addressed through decades of studies. She said China’s hydropower development in the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo river aims to speed up the development of clean energy and respond to climate change and extreme hydrological disasters. China on Wednesday approved the construction of the world's largest dam, stated to be the planet's biggest infra project, on the Brahmaputra river in Tibet close to the Indian border, raising concerns in India and Bangladesh. Ms. Mao said China's hydropower development in the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo river aims to speed up the development of clean energy and respond to climate change and extreme hydrological disasters.
