Study warns of rising Brahmaputra runoff and flood risks as China's mega dam nears
Chinese researchers project that the Brahmaputra River could see greater runoff and higher flood risks later this century. Their analysis relies on tree-ring records to model future climate scenarios. The findings bear on China's $168 billion mega dam project in Tibet, which has raised concerns among downstream nations such as India and Bangladesh. The researchers stress that water-resource infrastructure must be planned carefully to reduce these risks. They frame the issue as one requiring attention to how shared international rivers are managed.
