Brahmaputra dam not to affect flow to India: China

雅魯藏布江大壩不會影響流向印度的河水

BEIJING: Justifying its move to blockade a tributary of the Brahmaputra to construct a dam, China sought to allay apprehensions that it would affect the river flow into India claiming that there will be no adverse impact on downstream areas.

中國爲其在雅魯藏布江一條支流上截流築壩辯護，努力消除人們對築壩會影響流入印度河流的憂慮，稱此舉不會對下游地區造成負面影響。

Terming the Lalho dam project on the Xiabuqu river, a tributary of the Brahmaputra which is locally called as Yarlung Zangbo, as an important livelihood project to address food security and flood safety in Tibet, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said the tributary river is located completely within the Chinese side.

拉洛水利樞紐，位於雅魯藏布江支流夏布曲上，是一項重要的民生工程，爲的是解決糧食安全的問題，解決洪澇安全的問題。中國外交部表示，這條支流全部位於中國境內。

“The reservoir capacity of the project is less than 0.02 per cent of the average annual runoff of the Yarlung Zangbo- Brahmaputra. It cannot have an adverse impact on the downstream,” Chinese Foreign Ministry said in a written reply to PTI to a question on India’s concerns over the dam.

該工程的蓄水能力不到雅魯藏布江整條河流流量的0.02%，不可能對下游地區造成負面影響。
