Large Chinese dams on the Mekong River have been blamed for disrupting water flows into countries such as Thailand and Vietnam, while Chinese dam-building projects in places such as Burma and Cambodia have been criticized for displacing people and causing environmental havoc.
As its demand for power soars, China has become the world’s largest dam builder, and its latest five-year energy plan, announced in 2013, laid out proposals for more hydroelectric plants, including three medium-size dams on the Yarlung Zangbo, as the Brahmaputra is known there.
Many experts say the dam proposals pose no immediate threat to India because they will not create large reservoirs. Instead, they are run-of-the-river projects, which harness the water’s energy as it flows through underground tunnels. The dams also would lie upstream from the river’s main water-catchment area.
Which of the following is a possible political consequence of the Chinese building multiple dams along its rivers?
A. Chinese workers will lose jobs if the dams are built.
B. Indian civilians could be forced to move from along the river due to new flooding.
C. The current ecosystems along the rivers in China and India are forever changed.
