00:00Okay
00:30You
01:00You
01:31Well, just what it was your name and what you do, oh, my name is Timber Johnson's. I'm not gonna lie. I'm the deputy director of the policy Institute
01:52Now this is going to be a serious this will have when I have a serious indication for India and the dam
02:00The idea of the dam came up in
02:022020 when we when I personally wrote an article called the Chinese China's super dam in Tibet and its implication for India
02:11and
02:12Now that it has been officially approved
02:15Which means the constructions is going to be
02:18moving forward very quickly and
02:21The implication for India could be at different levels
02:26for the people
02:28People in Northeast India
02:30The construction of dam could have serious
02:34hydrological implications
02:36for for example, I'll give you one to two simply in the summer when there's
02:40Excess flow of water in the region the dam that would store extra water also will be released
02:48Which means that the K the chances of even even greater floods in the region is very high
02:56Then when it comes to winter when there's a dry season in the region
02:59When there's a scarcity of water flow in the region the dam would
03:04store whatever
03:06River been flow flow flow through the region, which means the region would face even scarcer
03:13Sea of the water flow in the region. So it's a
03:16It's either way. It's a big big loss for the Indian community in Northeast regions
03:22That's one issue. Another issue that India will face is that
03:27We all know the Himalaya region is highly sensitive
03:31to seismic
03:34Activities and
03:35scientifically, it has been proven that
03:38major dams mega dams do induce seismic activities and
03:44which means
03:45such a
03:47Huge dam that China has proposed be to be built on the young ensemble that we call it Tibet and which is called a
03:54Brahma Buddha as it enters India India
03:56Would surely have serious
03:59implication or where it could induce seismic
04:03activity and that could
04:05cause huge
04:07risk to the Indian community in Northeast regions as such as Arunachal Pradesh Assam and other regions and such
04:15Earthquake has happened
04:16In many times in its past history one specific issue was if I'm not wrong
04:22Happening in 1954 or the film the very
04:26tragic Assam earthquake so there could be other such earthquake happening because of of such mega dams and
04:33then third and
04:35Something that would be more political or statistical
04:40Implication for India is that the China might use the dam
04:45For various reasons if China has a good relation with India it might use it as a good
04:52The management of the river flow might be used amicably as for the relation at that point of time but
