| Summary / Abstract (Note) | China and India are both economic giants with immense need for energy. Water has become an important resource in the present world, and may become a reason for conflict. Currently China controls vast amount of water resources in Tibet (Tibetan Autonomous Region) and consequently the sources of the rivers that flow in India. The river Brahmaputra (known as Yarlung Tsangpo in Tibet) that drains India’s North East region is a great source of hydro-power and China eyes it for generating hydropower and to divert it for draining its arid northern region. |
