China begins its 'most expensive hydro-power project' by building a dam on Brahmaputra tributary
This China takes forward Lalho, its costliest hydropower project, which started in Tibet in June 2014
- China will start building a dam on a tributary of the Brahmaputra,
- This will be its most expensive hydro-power project
- The dam is unlikely to have a major impact on downstream flows into India, officials said
중국이 티벳 남서부에서 인도 북동부로 흐르는 아로장포강(브라마푸트라,티벳어) 강 지류에 댐을 건설할 계획이다.
이 댐은 가장 비싼 수력발전댐이 될 것이며 인도 쪽으로의 하류에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않을 것으로 보고 있다.
세계에서 가장 깊고 , 가장 긴 대협곡으로 두개의 기록을 돌파한 아로장포 협곡을 지나는 아로장포강에 건설되며
아로장포강은 인도쪽으로는 흐르지 않는다.
인도는 중국의 국경 지역에 건설하고 있는 4개의 댐에 관심을 갖고 관련 데이터를 교환해왔으며 관리방안에 대한
의논하고 있다.
Lalho 프로젝트는 2014년 티벳측에서 시작되었으며 7억4천만불의 공사비가 소요될 예정이다.
2019년 완공예정으로 관개, 홍수조절, 전력생산이 주목적이다.

China on Friday started building a dam on a tributary of the Brahmaputra, the Xiabuqu river to take forward the construction of its “most expensive hydro-power project”, the work on which began in Tibet in June 2014.
The Xiabuqu is not a trans border river and it does not flow into India.
So the dam is unlikely to have a major impact on downstream flows into India, officials said.
India has been concerned by the four dams China is building on the main river’s upper reaches.
Both sides have been exchanging hydrological data and discussing the management of trans border rivers through a jointly working group mechanism.
The Lalho project on the Xiabuqu river, a tributary of the Yarlung Zangbo as the Brahmaputra is known in China, costs $740 million dollars and construction began in June 2014.
It is scheduled to be completed in 2019, and is aimed at irrigation, flood control and power generation.
The reservoir is “designed to store up to 295 million cubic meters of water and help irrigate 30,000 hectares of farmland”, Xinhua reported, adding that the farming area, which usually suffers from severe drought, is a major crop production base in Xigaze.
The report said the project “will have two power stations with a combined generation capacity of 42 megawatts” and are “designed to generate 85 million kilowatthours of electricity each year”.

China’s first dam on the main upper reaches of the Brahmaputra at Zangmu in 2010 caused concerns in India because of possible impact on downstream flows.
The green light was given for three more dams in the 2011- 15 five-year plan, the work on which is ongoing.
Beijing has assured Delhi that the run-of-the-river dams will not affect downstream flows as they are for power generation only and will not store large volumes of water.
Ecological experts have expressed concern on the impact on both the river and the Tibetan plateau’s sensitive ecosystem, with four dams already in construction and more in the pipeline.
India and China in 2013 signed an agreement to extend the period for sharing of hydrological data and also to allow Indian experts to measure flows in Tibet.
