China’s planned super dam will see water levels rise during dry seasons and control flooding during high-risk periods, data shows
Since Beijing approved the project in December last year, there have been lots of discussions, but little proof.
The study draws data from two large dams already working upstream: Zangmu and Jiacha. Measured since 2014 at hydrological downstream, the results are clear: dry seasons get wetter.
Low flows were up more than 50 per cent in February. Water rose significantly throughout the dry season. India feared drought – the dams brought more water instead.
