I do not think China is in a mad race TO HARNESS Electricity from the Tsang-Po -- because as you all know P is a multiple of Q.H : P=Megawatt Q = Flow through the Turbine in Cubic metre per second. H=Head in Metre between inlet and outlet of Turbine. Where is the Q in Tibet? Except melting snow-and nothing called Monsoon? India is in a race- and it is mad . Poor PLANNERS do not know Who Planned-Why Planned -What for -What will come off these dams.
mm Date: Thu, 16 Dec 2010 00:59:29 +0600 Subject: Clarion call to the Premiers of China and India :Please do not obstruct the free flowing Brahmaputra From: [email protected] To: [email protected] CLARION CALL and FERVENT APPEAL TO THE HON'BLE PREMIERS OF CHINA AND INDIA 1. You both will be meeting in Delhi on 16 December, 2010 on many issues. Will you talk on the fate of the Brahmaputra? 2. We know that both India and China do have eagle eyes on the Brahmaputra river which has been flowing thru' China, India and Bangladesh originating from the glaciers of the Tibet mountains. 3. Both India and China have been in the mad race of harnessing electricity from Brahmaputra by constructing several mega-dams upon it. The dirty and ugly methodology of choosing mega-dam projects arbitrarily and unilaterally on the part of both the countries could be termed as flagrant violations of UN watercourses convention, 1997. 4.Will you shun this self-suicidal violent path of leading assault upon the natural flow of 3000km long free flowing river Brahmaputra. 5.The mega-dams will cause mega disaster through obstructing free flowing silt. Ecology, biodiversity, livelihood and the riverine civilization will be doomed throughout the basin. Bangladesh being geographically at the receiving downstream end will have the worst fallout. 6. Our clarion call: India, China and Bangladesh.....forget the past. Think anew pragmatically. Establish Joint Brahmaputra Basin Authority. Harness resource from the common international river Brahmaputra without causing assault upon nature! Change the development paradigm. Accept and oblige nature friendly development discourses for the overall interest of the human civilization. WILL YOU PAY HEED TO THIS CALL OF THE HOUR !
