is located in the Tibet Autonomous Region, the Yarlung Zangbo River . It is the longest plateau river in my country. Who can contain only the second largest amount of the Yarlung Zangbo River in China than the Yangtze River . It has a very rich water energy storage. Under the current trend of climate warming, countries around the world are studying how to alleviate the trend of climate warming. One of the effective methods is to reduce carbon emissions. How to balance and coordinate the development and emission reduction issues is very important, because countries around the world will not choose to stagnate or even regress in order to reduce emissions. Therefore, finding other new energy sources that can replace fossil fuels is one of the directions of everyone's development. Energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy, nuclear energy, hydropower, tidal energy, , and other energy sources will not pollute the environment in theory. Therefore, developing these energy sources can actually reduce our dependence on fossil fuels to a large extent.

The water energy resources of the Yarlung Zangbo River are so rich. If we can develop the water energy of the Yarlung Zangbo River, it will greatly change our energy structure and play a very important role in emission reduction. The Mayangzong Glacier, which originated in the northern foothills of the Himalayas in southwestern Tibet, is located in Tibet, my country. Logically speaking, it is reasonable for us to develop this river, but India strongly opposes us to develop the Yarlung Zangbo River, believing that we just need to have Three Gorges Dam . What the hell is going on?

Yalung Zangbo River

Yalung Zangbo River, the ancient Tibetan language means water flowing down from the highest peak, which is enough to show that the birthplace of the Yarlung Zangbo River is very high. The Yarlung Zangbo River is like a silver dragon, flowing from west to east in the south of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau , known as the "roof of the world", flowing out of the country near Basika , and then flowing into Bangladesh Bay . This river is called the Yarlung Zangbo River in our country. After it flows into India, it is called Brahmaputra River , and in Bangladesh, it is called Jamna River . In Bangladesh, the river will meet the Ganges River and then flow into the Bay of Bengal.

The total length of the Yarlung Zangbo River in our country is about 2057 kilometers, ranking fifth among rivers in my country; the entire basin area reaches 240,480 square kilometers, ranking sixth among river basin areas in my country. Although the length and basin area of ​​the Yarlung Zangbo River are not very high among rivers in my country, the annual runoff of the Yarlung Zangbo River is as high as 140 billion cubic meters, ranking third in the annual runoff of rivers in my country, and behind the Yangtze River and Pearl River . In terms of hydropower, the water energy storage capacity of the Yarlung Zangbo River is as high as 79.116 million kilowatts, ranking behind the Yangtze River and second in the river water energy storage in the country.

The development of human society cannot be separated from water. Looking at the whole world, economically developed places are mainly concentrated in coastal areas and riverside areas. The Yarlung Zangbo River originated in the plateau area. It brings a lot of water to the upstream, middle and lower reaches. Every summer temperature rises, it will melt in large quantities. The ice and snow on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau will provide the Yarlung Zangbo River with a steady stream of water. In addition, the summer monsoon from the southwest will also bring very abundant rainfall, nourishing the entire basin. In our territory, the Yarlung Zangbo River is mainly distributed in the plateau areas, but the terrain is not that high in India and Bangladesh, and the plains and the Ganges Delta have gradually formed.

The Ganges Delta has an area of ​​65,000 square kilometers, with an average altitude of only about 10 meters, which is very flat compared to Tibet Plateau . In the Ganges Delta, there are three major water systems: Ganges, Bramaputra and Megna River, so the water source is also very rich, and the soil is fertile, so the agriculture here is very developed and the population is very dense. It is an important agricultural area in South Asia.

Previously, India's Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonoval had complained that China developed the Yarlung Zangbo River. They believed that our construction and development in the upper reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River may pollute the water quality downstream, which will in turn make the residents downstream unable to use the river's water.Some residents of Arunachal Pradesh also believe that the river becomes turbid should be caused by the discharge of some construction waste into the river during the upstream construction process in China, which includes the construction of dams upstream.

This is one of the things they are worried about in India. In addition to this, they also believe that in addition to generating electricity, we may also introduce the water flow of the Yarlung Zangbo River to other regions, such as to the Yellow River basin to solve the water shortage problem faced by many parts of our country. If we really divert the Yarlung Zangbo River, they are worried that most of the water sources in the Yarlung Zangbo River will be controlled by us, and that the water sources in their plains and deltas may be cut off by us. It is precisely because of this that they are very anxious about the development of the Yarlung Zangbo River.

In fact, they don’t need to worry at all. After all, the water energy of the Yarlung Zangbo River is so rich and the annual runoff is so high, which has little impact on the middle and lower reaches. As an example, the water storage capacity is less than 100 million cubic meters. Moreover, while India opposes us to develop the Yarlung Zangbo River, they themselves are also vigorously developing the resources of this river. Like our " South-to-North Water Diversion " project, India also has similar "North Water Diversion South" and "Inland River Network Project". India's "North Water Diversion South" project intercepts the water sources in Bangladesh and incorporates the 54 rivers flowing through Bangladesh into the inland river network project.

Summary: The water energy of the Yarlung Zangbo River is very rich. If the water energy of the Yarlung Zangbo River can be developed, such as power generation or drainage to other arid desert areas, it will play a very important role. India opposed our development of the Yarlung Zangbo River, worried that we might "intercept" the Yarlung Zangbo River. In fact, they were doing such a "interception" themselves, intercepting the water source in Bangladesh through the "North Water Diversion Project" project, and believed that we would be the same as them.
