My opinion.. Put that much water flowing that far downhill, that fast, the water will scour the inside of the tunnel quickly. Water is harder than steel, harder than rock or concrete, and flowing water oscillates. Quickly, it will bang into one side of the tunnel and then the other. Single digit years, that is all it will last. Lessons were learned in the spillway tunnels of Glen Canyon Dam during the high releases of 1983 and 1984

Yeah nah the speed of the water as well as the weight of it can be distributed... the problem for this endeavour is the ridiculous cost of such a thing... some napkin calculations result in the need of at least 4 17m wide tunnels to be bored out over a disrance of 50km... that is insane in and on itself, no idea how many waterways you'd need to have this volume split up into to keep the cement from being erroded but just the tunneling itself would be about 50bn$... add the infrastructure needed to get there and the water management structures they are probably looking at ~ 3x that cost... idk if that is even feasible unless they find a magic wand to get those costs in check. Technically it can be built... but the cost would be astronomical.

Underground hydroelectric power stations are a great idea. If done well, the sediment goes down the main river rather than into the diverted water inflow which is skimmed off the top. Here in New Zealand we have at least three of these types of hydroelectric power stations, Lake Manapouri being the most well known, which powers our aluminium smelter. By tunnelling a hole into the mountain and then damming the river at the top of the mountain the water "climbs" 30 metres in Lake Manapouri and then drops 178 metres (584 feet) down the tunnel (penstock) into the power station at the bottom of the mountain.

The issue is that the tunnel is almost totally inaccessible for maintenance Just imagine if that 3000 ft water column found a crack in the tunnel wall. It'd erode a new, uncontrolled, tunnel within hours And once it fails, the damage would have a runaway effect. It'd carve a new channel through the mountain, and the bend would eventually go dry

0:15 "...power the UK for an entire year..." I suspect that the phrase "for an entire year" is unnecessary. Presumably the dam produces enough energy in one year to provide the UK's electricity for one year. In other words, the two "one year" cancel out and you could just state that it could "power the UK" period. The 'Meaningless And Unnecessary Units Of Time' error is very common with reporters and narrators.

Conversely, during drought they hold on to water more than the regular flow worsening the drought at downstream regions.

Use some physics, Doc: Forcing water through tunnels and spinning turbines removes a shitload of energy from the inertial mass. (Duh, that's where the electricity comes from.) Sucking out energy attenuates the velocity at which water will continue downstream, directly affecting downstream users. Pretty obvious you don't know much about fluid dynamics or energy production. My opinion: Your "common sense" sounds more like chinese propaganda, since you insist on mentioning a river on the other side of the planet in the US, rather than simply stating your "common sense" point, and ending it then and there. Fifty Cent Army? Pay fifty cents and see what quality army you end up with. chinese quality. Even they call it tofu dreg.

Catastrophe struck Sikkim on October 4 last year when Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) devastated the region. The disaster wiped out 80% of Sikkim’s electricity generation capacity, including a significant 1200 MW hydropower plant ( Tiny Dam as mentioned 16:49 ). Currently, no hydropower projects along the Teesta River in Sikkim are operational, allowing the river to flow freely. Along with the water, a significant amount of materials has also been carried downstream. We hope this leads to a bountiful harvest for Bangladeshi farmers, who may benefit from the increased water flow and nutrient-rich sediment.

Nah. 60% of Brahmaputra is fed by tributaries within India. Plus as they said it will be a run-of-the-river dam not a reservoir, hence no water will be stored. Plus even if China builds a huge reservoir dam or divert water. It will be a boon to India, since the Brahmaputra river flooded every year causing billions in damage. And India has no capacity to respond to it. The current flood as of today has resulted in 50+ loss of life in Assam. Imagine if China stops or diverts 40% of that water, people in Assam will be grateful.

Although I'm a crazy fool in love with enormous engineering projects, it breaks my heart to think how many rivers in Asia, as already is the case in the American West and Alpine Europe, have been incarcerated with towering, concrete plugs or rechanneled for the convenience of housing sprawl and the efficiency of agriculture. The imposition of geometries that serve our convenience, however, happen to bedevil ancient, pristine environments with their least natural shapes: right angles and straight lines. As with the brutal corruption of the world's oceans with our human storm of noise, our flood of plastic, our sewage overflow and bycatch cloudbursts, the rivers of the Earth have been sterilized with chemicals, clogged with silt, suffocated of oxygen by reservoirs and dismembered by dams. When I hear about new such travesties, I think of that great line in "Under The Volcano," when the protagonist contends with a familiar endless but aimless discussion of national interests: "It's too late in the world for flags," he quips, bitterly. Precious the irony of apothegm that so much power of history can be condensed in eight words and recast as a history of power. And like any recipe for abbreviated disasters, just add water to those eight parched words and it's already too late in the world for dams. Especially if the little sea a dam will birth must straddle an ominous crack in the Earth, on a mountain touching the sky, while everyone pretends that no-one asked, "but why?"

Ever since, political narratives in Pakistan have cast the struggle for Indus waters as a matter of national survival. And this is why India is holding on to Kashmir and Pakistan is spending $419B of their GDP because india intends to make Pakistan a barron wasteland. Both India and China are wrong!!!!

The run of the river system seems the most logical and environmentally friendly way to harness the massive hydroelectric power potential of the Yarlung Tsangpo river and preserving its natural surrondings as much as possible at the same time. Over the 5,000 years of Chinese history, mega engineering projects like building the Great Wall of China and the Grand Canal and most recently the Three Gorges Dam, are testament to China's engineering prowess. Based on past records, I am sure the Chinese will be able to pull this off when they are ready to proceed. Cheers to China!

One of the CCP’s greatest crimes against humanity and the natural world. This part of the Yarlung Tsangpo is sacred to its native Tibetan inhabitants, it belongs to a place called Pemakö (པདྨ་བཀོད), one of Tibet’s many “hidden lands”, which are considered sacred spaces and portals into another, divine world. This gorge has been famously impenetrable, by even the most intrepid Victorian explorers such as Younghusband. The book “The Heart of the World” by Ian Baker covers this place and topic extensively and does it justice. This would be a complete and utter travesty in all aspects. Nothing about this can be considered a “triumph”.
