Oh, you mentioned irrigation, do you want to compare India and China's agriculture?
http://www.indiaspend.com/sectors/how-china-beats-india-in-agriculture-productivity
Oh, India's agricultural irrigation rate is only 48%....
To be honest, a country with 42 million malnourished children should not be compared with the Chinese agriculture, if you are interested in Chinese agriculture. Can add my Gmail, I tell you the truth.
Next is the problem of water pollution in China, the truth is that China has been launched in the country to manage. And achieved some success.

And thats why we never engage with trolls...As they say....
How easily you changed topic from Brahmaputra to Ganges to pollution to irrigation.
Answer given already..Asking same questions time and again is not going to change the answer.As I said,your brain will find to handle these simple yet subtle subjects which for you are all greek.
Tell me one thing,these are not first dams.Everytime they constructed a dam without noticing India,India asked to share details.Its quite a good fortune that even though China almost never share great deal of details,Indian authorities are quite certain they didn't divert the water flow(till now).So why should India bother?But yes,we've every right to ask for proof that they didn't divert the flow.

Justifying its move to blockade a tributary of the Brahmaputra to construct a dam, China today sought to allay apprehensions that it would effect the river flow into India saying that there will be no adverse impact on downstream areas.
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.
"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.
Brahmaputra flows from Tibet into Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and later into Bangladesh.
On October 1, China announced the blockade of Xiabuqu river a tributary of the Brahmaputra in Tibet as part of the construction of its "most expensive" dam project.
The Lalho project on Xiabuqu River a tributary of the Brahmaputra in Xigaze in Tibet involves an investment of USD 740 million.
Brahmaputra flows through economically less developed ethnic minority regions of China, it said.

The basic difference between a real super power and a delusional one!
This the difference between a sovereign nation and a client state.

Beijing: Refuting reports of China joining water wars between India and Pakistan by blocking a tributary of Brahmaputra river, Chinese official media on Monday said that Beijing is ready for a joint multilateral cooperation mechanism with India and Bangladesh to share the waters.
Relations between China and India should not be affected by "imaginary water war", an article in the state-run Global Times said, adding that Beijing is unlikely to use Brahmaputra river water as a potential weapon.
However, downplaying the official media reports mooting a mechanism to share Brahmaputra river waters with India, China today said Beijing and New Delhi have "effective" cooperation to share data of the river flow and it is willing to continue it.
"China and India have appropriate cooperation mechanism on trans border rivers," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told PTI here.
"The mechanism has been functioning smoothly at present and has been effective. The Chinese side is willing to continue its cooperation with the Indian side on this," he said in a written response to a question about an article in state-run Global Times that stated China is ready to join a multilateral cooperation mechanism involving India and Bangladesh to share the waters.
The clarification came hours after the Global Times article said China is willing to have multilateral cooperation with India and Bangladesh to share the waters. The proposal is significant as China has no water treaty with India to share the river waters.
"It is easy to understand the anger of Indian people as they read recent news reports saying China had blocked a tributary of the Brahmaputra river, which is a trans-boundary river flowing from Southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region into the northeastern Indian state of Assam and later into Bangladesh, serving as an important water source for the regions," it said.
"The move by China to temporarily blockade the tributary to construct a dam sparked widespread concerns in India, but people in the downstream country may be ignoring one thing," it said, adding that the reservoir capacity of the dam on the Xiabuqu river, a tributary of the Brahmaputra, is less than 0.02 percent of the average annual runoff of the Brahmaputra.
"Frankly, there is no need for India to overreact to such projects, which aim to help with reasonable development and utilisation of water resources," it said.
However, what is worrying is that some local Indian media outlets linked the blockage with India's recent water dispute with Pakistan, trying to create the false impression that China may be interested in taking part in the "so-called water war between the two South Asian countries to give Pakistan silent support," the article stated.
"However, construction of the dam project on the tributary of the Brahmaputra started in June 2014," it added. "It is clear the blockade to construct the dam does not target India, and relevant countries should not read too much into the move," the write-up maintained.
While it is understandable that India is sensitive to China's water exploitation on the Brahmaputra as a downstream country, "China is unlikely to use the waters of the river as a potential weapon," it said.
