We all know that People’s Republic of China (PRC) requires energy from various sources as well waters to fulfill the peoples need. As we know that the population of China is four times bigger the population than that of the United States. China needs Hydro electric power as well as water. Now the People’s Republic of China wants to utilize the Tibetan water resources for its development.

Tibet is also known as Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) or also called the Xizang Autonomous Region (Tibetan: simplified Chinese). This day it is most discussed international issue that China wants to divert waters from the Great Bend of the Yarlung Tsangpo, the upper reach of River Brahmaputra of India and River Jamuna of Bangladesh, north of the McMahon Line building another mammoth dam. The planned dam is much bigger dam than the Three Gorges Dam, the biggest in the world.

Giving more wind to the Dam issue People’s Republic of China (PRC) has declared the establishment of a "Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon National Reservation". China here studies about all types of water resources to be utilized from Tibet (basically from Yarlung Tsangpo River). China has many governmental plans and feasibility studies for a major dam for their hydroelectric power projects and diverts water to the main country areas of China.
