China plans 1000-km tunnel to take Brahmaputra water to Xinjiang: Report | world-news

[Laozi]

Good luck trying to divert water from disputed territory to your mainland. While I am sure Pakistan can China can come up with their own plan of diversion from the source itself.

I am sure China can

But I am not sure whether Pakistan can.

You haven't build the dams to store the water yourself in last 70 years. Only dams you have are either American built or now the Chinese building it for you.

 

[American Pakistani]

We've been listening for ages that CCP will divert bhramputra river


Bhai if China divert our Bhramputra water, We'll do the same with Indus.

You started and Chinese followed. Next move will be China diverting Indus towards Pakistan, remember just like Brahmaputra, Indus ORIGINATES in China as well.

I am sure we can arrange some arrangement with China, leaving India in a lurch.

I'm sure you will

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

We will be needing our stolen water to be replenished

Your country men on this forum itself suggested this move to your all weather friend.

You have to share the blame with your friend

Hope u understand Indus also originates from Tibet..

 

[Taimoor Khan]

I'm sure you will

You got any doubt? Trying to act as American lackey comes with repercussions, specially when geography is working against you. So you want to divert Indus water?

 

[Laozi]

Hope u understand Indus also originates from Tibet..

We will take only that much water which is added in Indian territory of catchment area

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

And u can stop china from diverting Indus?

Thank for sharing your American experiences.

And u can stop china from diverting Indus?

If Chinese can build 1000 km tunnel then we can start with 200 km tunnel

问：昨天据《南华早报》报道，中国工程师向政府提议修建1000公里水渠，将西藏雅鲁藏布江的水引流至新疆。中方这一计划会对印度等下游国家产生影响，引发其关切。中方对此有何评论？

　　答：据我了解，你说的情况不属实。

Brief：Foreign Ministry spokesman said the report of 1000 kilo tunnel is not true.

Foreign Ministry spokesman said the report of 1000 kilo tunnel is not true.

Why such a long 1000 km rerouting is needed I do not know. But, I do not think, a diversion of water will affect the present Brahmaputra flow to India and Bangladesh. I had some hydrological data before that I lost. I found another one which I am posting with a minimal editing. -@bluesky-

"(1) Very small proportion of water in transboundary rivers of India come from Tibet".

"Tibet is climatologically a barren cold plateau. It receives between 4 to 12 inches of rainfall depending on time and place. Water efflux in these rivers ,from Tibet, is very low and you could cross Brahmaputra in Tibet without getting your knees wet in most of the places, and in winter when Brahmaputra enters India it is practically dry. This is not just a theoretical. It is supported by hydrological data".

"Brahmaputra enters India just after Tsela Dzong. After this point it it goes into 16.8m/km steep fall before entering India and creating a gorge in the process. Of the 19,800 m3/sec average discharge of Brahmaputra, water from China account for less than 500 m3/sec. Thus there is not much water for China to divert, and it would hardly affect river flow of Brahmaputra".
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reading and almost understanding the content of hydrological data, I am of the opinion that water diversion by China will not harm India and BD. It is because 500m3/sec is very small comparing to 19,800m3/sec.

Moreover, China will have to use a part of this 500m3/sec water to produce hydro-electricity which will power the pumps to lift up the northbound water. Power stations will certainly be built in the sloped gorge (Tibet to Arunachal) where the gradient is 16.8m per 1 km. It means, at least a small part of this 500m3/sec water from Tibet will also come down to Arunachal after producing power.

I think, the Chinese construction will cause only a loss of 300m3/sec of water for India and BD. It will certainly cause no effect in BD, because in order to get a uniform volume of water throughout the year, China will have to build reservoir in the north of Himalaya. So, this withdrawal will cause less havoc of floods during monsoon and more water during winter dry season. Bd has nothing to worry about.

Thanks for your support
China really has no plan to control the river against India and BD. But the number 500 is too small, I doubt it.
