A total of 22.2 billion cubic meters of water has been diverted through the eastern and central routes of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project so far.

The project has improved the water supply of cities along the route, which has already become a major water source for over 40 large and medium cities in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei province, Henan province and Shandong province, benefiting more than 100 million people.

It's around 60-80 bil US$. And this diversion is a very strategic move. I saw the documentary explaining the rationale behind this project and how many people it is serving, almost 300mil people in North China.

I would call it the world biggest human rights project in the human history, water is essence of all lives.

The next mega project will be Hongqi river (红旗河 which diverts Tibet water to Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia, the cost would be around $1 trillion.

I didn't get your tag but looks like it. They have assured they will not divert the whole upstream river, just some portion of it.

Anyway even if they divert 100% of the flow they have, it affects very little as most of the catchment flow volume for Assam + BD comes from arunachal pradesh area.

I don't understand the Brahmaputra river system very well. So you are saying the part they are diverting does not water the rivers in Assam/India and Bangladesh?

Regardless, the Chinese are increasingly looking like biblical gog and magog to me.

It would be impossible for the Chinese to steal the waters of the Brahmaputra, the river system is ginormous starting from the Lohit in Arunachal to the Teesta in West Bengal, Yarlung Tsangpo the parent river is just like a hill stream as it passes through Tibet, once it debouches into India via the Namcha Barwa gorge it becomes the mighty Brahmaputra that the world knows of. There are countless streams draining from Bhutan, Arunachal and Assam into the Brahmaputra which are both rain fed and supported by glacial melt water, and the north east India is amongst the rainiest places on earth.

The stupid Chinese know that very well, and the worst they are doing is keeping up with their tradition of environmental pollution by discharging toxic industrial effluents into the pristine waters of the Siang in Arunachal.

lol talking about water pollution~ you guys already drinking the worst water in the world. A few toxic industrial effluents is like adding a tiny flavor to your daily tea.

Not everyone in India is affected by water pollution, the ground water in certain places in North East India is so pure that people don't even need to treat/filter it before consumption. But thanks to your Chinese contribution that our waters are also becoming polluted like your Chinese and North Indian rivers.

This is what we need in Pakistan, in order to make our arid areas of Balochistan, FATA habitable.
